Top Two Poems.

I do not pretend to understand poetry, but I love it. I really do. As such, I thought I would share my two favorite poems with the three of you that regularly read "Readingwithcats." I'm not even going to share my thoughts, because I don't want to tarnish your reading experience. Hah. Hah. See:

Ozymandias, by Percy Bysshe Shelly

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
And on the pedestal these words appear:
`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away". 



An untitled poem by Emily Dickinson

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee-- 
One clover, and a bee, 
And revery. 
The revery alone will do 
If bees are few. 





Anyway, I really hope you like them as much as I do. Which is quite a bit, really.
