I'm going do a weekly poem to make things interesting around here and to keep everyone coming back. The first will actually be two by one of my favorites, Robert Frost.
A Time to Talk
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meandering walk,
I don't stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed,
And shout from where I am, "What is it?"
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade end up and five feet tall
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
Canis Major
The great Overdog,
That heavenly beast
With a star in one eye,
Gives a leap in the east.
He dances upright
All the way to the west
And never once drops
On his feet to rest
I'm a poor underdog,
But tonight I will bark
With the great Overdog
That romps through the dark.
through history and the bible

I also felt cheated by the ending to Firefly Lane. I listened to the unabridged version and eagerly looked forward to each installment. However, it appeared to me the author set up such a complex web of emotional issues between the 2 friends and the daughter of one, that she wasn't quite sure how to get her characters out of the problem and took an "easy" way out of the situation.
I love poetry so this will be great to get some poetry in once a week!! I especially love inspirational poetry!!
Thanks Tonya!
