Quote of the Day 12 February 2014 ~ Connected
“We’re all pieces of the same ever-changing puzzle; some connected for mere seconds, some connected for life, some connected through knowledge, some through belief, some connected through wisdom, some through Love, and some connected with no explanation at all.

William Shakespaere Poetry Tuesday ~ Venus and Adonis
from Venus and Adonis But, lo! from forth a copse that neighbours by, A breeding jennet, lusty, young, and proud, Adonis’ trampling courser doth espy, And forth she rushes, snorts and neighs aloud; The strong-neck’d steed, being tied unto a tree, Breaketh his rein, and to her straight goes he.Imperiously he leaps, he neighs, he…

Poetry of the Day 05 February 2014 – If You Can
If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies, Or…

Poetry of the Day 04 February 2014 – Road Not Taken

Poetry of the Day 03 February 2014 – Alone
