Jeffrey McDaniel

“In an effort to get people to look

into each other’s eyes more,

and also to appease the mutes,

the government has decided

to allot each person exactly one hundred

and sixty-seven words, per day.

When the phone rings, I put it to my ear

without saying hello. In the restaurant

I point at chicken noodle soup.

I am adjusting well to the new way.

Late at night, I call my long distance lover,

proudly say I only used fifty-nine today.

I saved the rest for you.

When she doesn’t respond,

I know she’s used up all her words,

so I slowly whisper I love you

thirty-two and a third times.

After that, we just sit on the line

and listen to each other breathe.

Rainer Maria Rilke

“You darkness, that I come from,

I love you more than all the fires

that fence in the world,

for the fire makes

a circle of light for everyone,

and then no one outside learns of you.

But the darkness pulls in everything:

shapes and fires, animals and myself,

how easily it gathers them! -

powers and people -

and it is possible a great energy

is moving near me.

I have faith in nights.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke

Jane Austen

“I have been used to consider poetry as "the food of love" said Darcy.

"Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is

strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I

am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away.”

― Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

William Wordsworth

“Nature never did betray

The heart that loved her.”

― William Wordsworth


Emily Dickinson

“I measure every Grief I meet

With narrow, probing, Eyes;

I wonder if It weighs like Mine,

Or has an Easier size.

I wonder if They bore it long,

Or did it just begin?

I could not tell the Date of Mine,

It feels so old a pain.

I wonder if it hurts to live,

And if They have to try,

And whether, could They choose between,

It would not be, to die.

I note that Some --

gone patient long --

At length, renew their smile.

An imitation of a Light

That has so little Oil.

I wonder if when Years have piled,

Some Thousands -- on the Harm

Of early hurt -- if such a lapse

Could give them any Balm;

Or would they go on aching still

Through Centuries above,

Enlightened to a larger Pain

By Contrast with the Love.

The Grieved are many,

I am told;

The reason deeper lies, --

Death is but one

and comes but once,

And only nails the eyes.

There's Grief of Want

and Grief of Cold, --

A sort they call "Despair";

There's Banishment from native Eyes,

In sight of Native Air.

And though I may not guess the kind

Correctly, yet to me

A piercing Comfort it affords

In passing Calvary,

To note the fashions of the Cross,

And how they're mostly worn,

Still fascinated to presume

That Some are like My Own.”

― Emily Dickinson, I'm Nobody! Who Are You?


Dylan Thomas

“...Time held me green and dying

Though I sang in my chains like the sea.”

― Dylan Thomas, Fern Hill


Sylvia Plath

“LADY LAZARUS

I have done it again.

One year in every ten

I manage it--

A sort of walking miracle, my skin

Bright as a Nazi lampshade,

My right foot

A paperweight,

My face a featureless, fine

Jew linen.

Peel off the napkin

O my enemy.

Do I terrify?--

The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?

The sour breath

Will vanish in a day.

Soon, soon the flesh

The grave cave ate will be

At home on me

And I a smiling woman.

I am only thirty.

And like the cat I have nine times to die.

This is Number Three.

What a trash

To annihilate each decade.

What a million filaments.

The peanut-crunching crowd

Shoves in to see

Them unwrap me hand and foot--

The big strip tease.

Gentlemen, ladies

These are my hands

My knees.

I may be skin and bone,

Nevertheless, I am the same, identical woman.

The first time it happened I was ten.

It was an accident.

The second time I meant

To last it out and not come back at all.

I rocked shut

As a seashell.

They had to call and call

And pick the worms off me like sticky pearls.

Dying

Is an art, like everything else.

I do it exceptionally well.

I do it so it feels like hell.

I do it so it feels real.

I guess you could say I've a call.

It's easy enough to do it in a cell.

It's easy enough to do it and stay put.

It's the theatrical

Comeback in broad day

To the same place, the same face, the same brute

Amused shout:

'A miracle!'

That knocks me out.

There is a charge

For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge

For the hearing of my heart--

It really goes.

And there is a charge, a very large charge

For a word or a touch

Or a bit of blood

Or a piece of my hair or my clothes.

So, so, Herr Doktor.

So, Herr Enemy.

I am your opus,

I am your valuable,

The pure gold baby

That melts to a shriek.

I turn and burn.

Do not think I underestimate your great concern.

Ash, ash--

You poke and stir.

Flesh, bone, there is nothing there--

A cake of soap,

A wedding ring,

A gold filling.

Herr God, Herr Lucifer

Beware

Beware.

Out of the ash

I rise with my red hair

And I eat men like air.”

― Sylvia Plath, Ariel

Alexander Pope

“A little learning is a dangerous thing.

Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian Spring;

There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,

and drinking largely sobers us again.”

Robert Graves

“When the immense drugged universe explodes

In a cascade of unendurable colour

And leaves us gasping naked,

This is no more than the ectasy of chaos:

Hold fast, with both hands, to that royal love

Which alone, as we know certainly, restores

Fragmentation into true being.

Ecstasy of Chaos”

― Robert Graves, Poems 1965-1968


Pablo Neruda

“I love all things, not only the grand but the infinitely small: thimble, spurs, plates, flower vases.....”

Jeffrey McDaniel

“But one kiss levitates above all the others. The

intersection of function and desire. The I do kiss.

The I’ll love you through a brick wall kiss.

Even when I’m dead, I’ll swim through the Earth,

like a mermaid of the soil, just to be next to your bones.”

― Jeffrey McDaniel


Nikki Giovanni

“and sometimes I sit

down at my typewriter

and I think

is it worth it”

Saul Williams

“They say that I am a poet

I wonder what they would say if they saw me from the inside I bottle

emotions and place them into the sea for others to unbottle on

distant shores I am unsure as to whether they ever reach and for

that matter as to whether I ever get my point across

or my love”
