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?

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
