1- Love in Place
I really don’t remember falling in love all that much
I remember wanting to bake corn bread and boil a ham and I
certainly remember making lemon pie and when I used to smoke I
stopped in the middle of my day to contemplate
I know I must have fallen in love once because I quit biting
my cuticles and my hair is gray and that must indicate
something and I all of a sudden had a deeper appreciation
for Billie Holiday° and Billy Strayhorn° so if it wasn’t love I don’t
know what it was
I see the old photographs and I am smiling and I’m sure quite
happy but what I mostly see is me
through your eyes
and I am still young and slim and very much committed to the
love we still have
Billie Holiday jazz singer (1915–59);
Billy Strayhorn jazz composer and musician (1915–67).
[1997]
2- Review of the Sex Situation
Woman wants monogamy;
Man delights in novelty.
Love is woman’s moon and sun;
Man has other forms of fun.
Woman lives but in her lord;
Count to ten, and man is bored.
With this the gist and sum of it,
What earthly good can come of it?
3- Design
I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth—
Assorted characters of death and blight
Mixed ready to begin the morning right,
Like the ingredients of a witches’ broth—
A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,
And dead wings carried like a paper kite.
What had that flower to do with being white,
The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?
What brought the kindred spider to that height,
Then steered the white moth thither in the night?
What but design of darkness to appall?—
If design govern in a thing so small.
4- A Noiseless Patient Spider
A noiseless patient spider,
I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.
And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
1Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.
5- We Real Cool
The Pool Players.
Seven at the Golden Shovel.
We real cool. We
Left school. We
Lurk late. We
Strike straight. We
Sing sin. We
Thin gin. We
Jazz June. We
Die soon.
6- I'm Nobody! Who are you?
I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you—Nobody—too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d banish us—you know!
How dreary—to be—Somebody!
How public—like a Frog—
To tell your name—the livelong June—
To an admiring Bog!

Sonnet 18~ William Shakespeare ^_~
In this summary of Sonnet 18 by William Shakespeare:
The first two quatrains compare the speaker's beloved to a summer's day but note that the beloved is more lovely and constant. Summer is fleeting while the beloved's beauty will last eternally.
The third quatrain states that the beloved's beauty will never fade and will live on through the speaker's poetry.
The couplet concludes that as long as people can experience the sonnet, the beloved's beauty and memory will live on immortalized in the poem.

Theme Notes
A theme is an insight into human nature or life that gives meaning to a story. It is usually unstated but revealed through the events and character changes. To identify a theme, consider how the main character changed and what they learned about life. A theme can be expressed in a short sentence but is not the same as the plot or a moral. There is often not one single correct way to state the theme.
