Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia. ~E.L. Doctorow

Poems I Love:
*
Sir, I admit your general rule,
That every poet is a fool,
But you yourself may serve to show it,
That every fool is not a poet.
--Samuel Taylor Coleridge

*Hope is the Thing with Feathers by Emily Dickinson

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chilliest land
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

*The Old Gumbie Cat by T S Eliot

*Kubla Khan by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

*Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll
