It's Three, Three, Three Poems for you on this Poetry Tuesday!!!
Oh,
I am thinking.
Oh,
I am thinking
I have found
my lover.
Oh,
I think it is so.
--Chippewa Song
....Really, I began the day
Not with a man's wish: "May this day be beautiful.
But with the bird's wish: "May this day
Be the same day, the day of my life."
--Randall Jarrell
The memories of long love
Gather like drifting snow,
Poignant as the mandarin ducks,
who float side by side in sleep.
--Kenneth Rexroth--"100 Poems from the Japanese"
Please note: Betty is going away for a little Gal Pal Retreat! I will miss visiting all your blogs, but I'll be back to catch up soon!
