Inspired by R. Frost
This is one of my favorite poems. It inspired the poem that I wrote for today.
Fire and Ice, by Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To know that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
My Fire, My Ice
Fiery desire
Cold hate
Seems somewhat extreme
Unrealistic dictate
What about slouching toward nirvana
Or lukewarm interest
Tell me the temperature
Of a forbidden request
Must we burn
Or freeze
Forgetting the delight
Of a breezy tease
Perhaps sadness should boil
Oblivion could be mild
Survival of the fittest
Feelings gone wild

ya know homegirl...when I read ur poetry..I get to see into that head of yours and really feel you.
I, for the life of me, can't understand why I haven't seen these things on a bookshelf at a bookstore.
Keep doing ur thing, MF!
Girly-Girl, once again you have mezmerized me with your poetic skills....like DC says girl you deep! Okay he didn't say that, but i did, you paint pictures, evoke feelings with your words and it's a beautiful thing.
yeah baby girl, you need to sell this stuff, throw in a few of those hot girly girl pictures and you'll bring poetry back like Martha Stewart did homemaking.
Awwww...thanks, Everyone! A Girly Girl couldn't ASK for better readers.
MWB: I like it when you call me 'baby girl.' Please tell me who you are!
you are more than welcome MF! I am truly a fan of your peoms...Keep em coming!
What is this MF stuff, surely it isn't Mutha Fucka.
Actually, Rich, DC and I enjoy referring to each other as 'motherfucker,' NOT 'Mutha Fucka.'
lol...that was supposed to be a secret!!!!
it could have been My Friend
Oh, sorry DC!!
I didn't know it was a secret...
She will never put her poems in a book :(. She prefers the net...she loves the varying opinions of everyone in cyberspace. However, I am grateful...because if her work was at the bookstore...I would have bypassed it. But here in the middle of nowhere I am blessed enough to experience her genius.
