    I'm looking for a poem by Winfield Townley Scott. I think it's called December music and it's about sheltering in a doorway from the rain, wanting to " feel" Christmas as he once did.Some phrases are, I think, " cars meshed in the rain " , " wanted it bell to bell " . Many thanks Paul

    Hello,
    When I was in the 9th grade my English teacher had the class read a poem. It was a lengthy poem basically about revenge. I wish I could remember more about it but it has been a few years. It goes something like " His son killed his son" and so on. Like one man killed another man's son, so the son's father killed him and so on. I know it's very vague but I would really love to figure out what that poem was.

    thanks a million,
    Charis

    Please help
    tomorrow is Christmas day
    the toys are not ready for Santa's sleigh
    Balls bounce up but do not bounce down
    mama doll has torn her gown
    coo-coo clock does not tock
    rockin' horse hasn't learned to rock

    Hello everyone :)

    I am looking for a particular poem; however, I can't remember the title of the poem, the author, or the exact quote... I know, sounds pretty hopeless, right?But I figure it's at least worth a try!

    I think the quote was talking about a peacock, although it could have been another type of bird. Anyhow, I believe the quote was something along the lines of: " the [peacock] [treads/walks/steps] with [?????] feet." At first I thought that maybe the poet was W. B. Yeats, but his poem " The Peacock" wasn't a match. Please, if anyone can help, let me know :)

      the approximate meaning of this poem follows my friend, draw a circle on the paper this is me, with nothing in my heart one day you just have a glance then erase it

      Probably the software for this site cannot print the Chinese. Maybe if you gave the idea of the poem, someone could find it?

      oh, come on.the chinese words are not shown

    I have been trying to find this poem or the poet that wrote it for over 10 years. I had a book of poems my mother gave me & each month had a poem.
    They were extroadinarily Beautful. I belive there was one for winter, spring, summer and fall as well.
    the poem for November Read something like this: these are just the lines I remember. They are not in order or neccessarlly as written.

    i, who threw a dice into the sea and found them years later, with the winning combination face up, can say this quietly, if I can say it at all.
    As we walk beside the calcium waters we see on the far shore a city, built, with sand, cement and tears.

    What is that place?you ask, not knowing I could take you there and call each ghost by name.
    You look at me and say " How fortunate we are" .
    I cut my losses; an arm here, a leg there
    I voted for no one, yet someone voted for me..and here I am facing the dirtiest of all dirty words. Success.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a customer who is looking for a poem.
    The only lines he can remember are:
    In the halls of government
    The old men plan or talking for war and the young men fighting them
    Faces of the dead soldiers all seem so young.

    If anyone has a idea of which poem this is please let me know.
    Thank You
