I Had a Little Nut Tree
-Roald Dahl

I had a little nut-tree,Nothing would it bear.I searched in all its branches,But not a nut was there.'Oh, little tree,' I begged,'Give me just a few.'The little tree looked down at meAnd whispered, 'Nuts to you.'

Sonnet 29
-William Shakespeare

When, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possess'd,
Desiring this man's art and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these

The Clod and the Pebble
-William Blake

"Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair."

So sung a little Clod of Clay
Trodden with the cattle's feet,
But a Pebble of the brook
Warbled out these metres meet:

"Love seeketh only self to please,
To bind another to its delight,
Joys in another's loss of ease,

He Never Expected Much
-Thomas Hardy

Well, World, you have kept faith with me,
Kept faith with me;
Upon the whole you have proved to be
Much as you said you were.
Since as a child I used to lie
Upon the leaze and watch the sky,
Never, I own, expected I
That life would all be fair.

'Twas then you said, and since have said,
Times since have said,
In that mysterious voice you shed

Love's Philosophy
-Percy Byshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river,
     And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
     With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
     All things by a law divine
In another's being mingle--
     Why not I with thine?

See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
     And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be

Sleeping in the Forest
-Mary Oliver

I thought the earth remembered me,

arranging her dark skirts, her pockets
full of lichens and seeds.
I slept as never before, a stone on the river bed,
nothing between me and the white fire of the stars
but my thoughts, and they floated light as moths
among the branches of the perfect trees.
All night I heard the small kingdoms

Reluctance
-Robert Frost

Out through the fields and the woods
 And over the walls I have wended;
 I have climbed the hills of view
 And looked at the world, and descended;
 I have come by the highway home,
 And lo, it is ended.

 The leaves are all dead on the ground,
 Save those that the oak is keeping
 To ravel them one by one
 And let them go scraping and creeping
 Out over the crusted snow,

-Audre Lord



Coming together   

it is easier to work   

after our bodies   

meet

paper and pen

neither care nor profit

whether we write or not

but as your body moves

under my hands   

charged and waiting   

we cut the leash

you create me against your thighs   

hilly with images

moving through our word countries   

my body

writes into your flesh

the poem

you make of
