Dylan Thomas - "I see the boys of summer"

For its nearly inscrutable meaning,
its vivid images tumbling one upon the other,
the first difficult poem I saw
after all the more easily understandable
poems read in school.
It was breathtaking on first encounter
and still holds close many mysteries,
for me, no longer a boy,
no longer summer.

So many - wow just thinking

Tyger, Tyger - William Blake - I can still quote most of it from memory

The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night - Dylan Thomas

Resumé - Dorothy Parker

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

Fire and Ice - Robert Frost
I Look Into My Glass - Thomas Hardy
Rain - Langston Hughes
Green Eggs & Ham - Dr. Seuss
Break, Break, Break - Tennyson
The Tyger - William Blake
Listen to the Mustn'ts - Shel Silverstein
(Listen to Mustn'ts, child, listen to the Don'ts.
Listen to the Shouldn'ts, the Impossibles, the Won'ts.
Listen to the Never Haves, then listen close to me.
Anything can happen, child, Anything can be.)

I absolutely love Dr Seuss! Couldn't pick a favourite if I tried. 'Just try them' as applied to new food was a rule in our house LOL and then we would read this to prove that you never know - you just might like it but you would never know until you tried.

What I always thought was that those green eggs and ham must have been cold by the time he finally tried them
