Whatever fades but fading pleasures brings.

To that sweet yoke where lasting freedoms be;

Not so when swift Camilla scours the plain,

O Captain! My Captain!
By Walt Whitman
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done.
The ship has weather'd every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! Heart! Heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my captain lies,

THE ARK OF MERCY
for Gretchen
(written for actress Gretchen Wyler to celebrate the
12th Anniversary of the Ark Trust, a California based
Animal Rights organization.)
In the sacredness of life,
meaning embraces the language of deeds.
But you speak a jargon of cruelty and death
and your language is
rabbit with acid-blinded eyes,
bull tormented for trivial manhood,

The Poetry of A. E. Housman
Housman was born in Burton-On-Trent, England, in 1865, just as the US
Civil War was ending. As a young child, he was disturbed by the news of
slaughter from the former British colonies, and was affected deeply.
This turned him into a brooding, introverted teenager and a misanthropic,
pessimistic adult. This outlook on life shows clearly in his poetry.

Poetry / The Victory By Anne Stevenson

to school,/Forced into submission,/By monstrous,
crabby teachers who'll/Make us learn addition.").
This was primarily because the outward subject of

Poetry / Thomas Hardy's Crude War
Thomas Hardy's crude war
Many war poems do not glamorize war. They show an honest look at the battlefield showing the irony, crudeness, and cruelty of war. Thomas Hardy communicates these ideas in his poems, "Channel Firing," Drummer Hodge," and "The Man he Killed." In all of these, he shows how war is crude, not glamorous.
In "The Man he Killed," Hardy shows the reader the irony of war...

Poetry / Why Me? (A Poem Of Cliches)
Why Me?
I'm walking all by myself,
I don't know which way to go,
I look around and realize that it's raining cats and dogs.
I look around and find a bar,
some people are drunk as skunks,
right now I feel under the weather,
but I guess I have to fight tooth and nail,
I'm walking all by myself.
Sometimes I think I'm not wanted,
I don't know what I did wrong,
I feel like I opened ...

Poetry / Wilferd Owen
In "Mental Cases" Owen spends time in a hospital for shell-shocked veterans.
He describes how bad the veterans looked, as if they came from hell. It also seems as if the veterans are between life and hell, that they are "purgatorial shadows". All the images seem to be close to death, "Baring teeth that leer like skulls' teeth wicked", "Gouged these chasms round their fretted sockets", "their head...

Poetry / William Butler Yeats' Poetry
Through childhood, there were always forces that were beyond
our control: gravity hurling us down a slide, the recess bell, or
an older brother. In this period of time, we were innocent,
unable to know what the effects of these factors were; they
caused scars, single file lines, and temper tantrums in the back
seat. We were too young to understand what we had gotten
ourselves into. Therefore...

Suddenly, he comes across another man who is alone, but not in the same way that he is. Both the narrator and the stranger lack attendants, dogs and staffs, but the stranger is still more isolated. The stranger is not simply alone but desolate. After...

Poetry / You'll Always Be Remembered
You'll always be remembered
I want to be with you and that's not fair,
That when I look a side, you aren't there.
I look for you all day, all night.
For you're open heart I'm always ready to fight.
When I want to be with you I just close my eyes,
I think of the words, of your harsh, but sweet lies.
You're quite voice is always on my mind,
But what you think is hard to find.
I wish my li...
