    So I read this poem a little while ago, probably on tumblr. And it was about homes, and finding homes, and building homes. And the line that really struck me was along the lines of " a person can be a home" and I really just need to find this poem.
    Sorry that I don't remember more!

    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

    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

    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

    • Laura Burns (12/9/2012 7:57:00 PM) Post reply

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

    • Younggin Wang (12/9/2012 1:38:00 AM) Post reply

      oh, come on.the chinese words are not shown
