Quoted Poetry of the Day 30 January 2014 – Beside The Fire

Quote of the Day 28 January 2014 – Splinter
“If peace comes from seeing the whole, then misery stems from a loss of perspective. We begin so aware and grateful. The sun somehow hangs there in the sky. The little bird sings. The miracle of life just happens. Then we stub our toe, and in that moment of pain, the whole world is reduced…

Quote of the Day 21 January 2014 – Desolate
“Oftentimes we call Life bitter names, but only when we ourselves are bitter and dark.

Poetry For My “Hatch Day”, Since 1959 – Bells
“I Hear the sledges with the bells – Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle, In the icy air of night! While the stars that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To…

Poetry of the Day 24 November 2013 – Invictus
“Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and…
