Looking For A Poem

Hi all,

I'm trying to recall about love and comparing the old time sideshow act of balancing tea cups and saucers to the building of a relationship.

THanks all.

Hi, I'm looking for a poem by a woman, possibly Puerto Rican about young girls growing up. There's something in it about them dressing up in high heel shoes and how the men on the street looked at them differently and how uncomfortable it made them feel. That's about all I can remember, no specific lines...Any clues?

Looking for a love poem. Heard it long ago.
Begins: I love your breath upon my cheek, your voice when you whisper low.
Ends: ......your hand that I can hold. These gifts of love I treasure, more than silver, more than gold.

Anyone know the whole poem? ? ? ? ?

Hey guys. I'm new here an I was wondering if you could help me out.

I am looking for some great pre 9/11 poems and other literature that focus on America and the American dream.

Preferably from both American and non American poets.

Anything would be such a great help.

Thanks.

Hello
Has anyone heard a poem, which has the repeated line Because I Love, I think it was repeated at the end of each verse. I heard it read on Radio 4 last year and have been trying to find it ever since.

I am trying to find a poem I read when my daughter was young, I thought it was by Sharon Olds, but can't seem to find it using the few words I remember. She (female poet) writes about watching her pre-teen daughter making a cake and as she cracks an egg into the batter, she sees a crimson spot in the yolk, and reflects that soon her daughter will see the crimson spot. If you know this poem, please let me know title or poet. Thanks.

At school I learnt the sonnet shown below. Does anyone know the author - possibly American? The poem was published no later than 1962.
Many thanks.
