by Maya Angelou
Still I Rise 
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I&#8217;ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
&#8216;Cause I walk like I&#8217;ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,

by Dylan Thomas
Sometimes The Sky&#8217;s Too Bright 
Sometimes the sky&#8217;s too bright,
Or has too many clouds or birds,
And far away&#8217;s too sharp a sun
To nourish thinking of him.
Why is my hand too blunt
To cut in front of me
My horrid images for me,
Of over-fruitful smiles,
The weightless touching of the lip
I wish to know
I cannot lift, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chrishibbard.wordpress.com&blog=5346716&post=1102&subd=chrishibbard&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Byzantium
The unpurged images of day recede;
The Emperor&#8217;s drunken soldiery are abed;
Night resonance recedes, night walkers&#8217; song
After great cathedral gong;
A starlit or a moonlit dome disdains
All that man is,
All mere complexities,
The fury and the mire of human veins.
Before me floats an image, man or shade,
Shade more than man, more image than a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chrishibbard.wordpress.com&blog=5346716&post=1100&subd=chrishibbard&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

by Lord Alfred Tennyson
All Things Will Die

Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing
Under my eye;
Warmly and broadly the south winds are blowing
Over the sky.
One after another the white clouds are fleeting;
Every heart this May morning in joyance is beating
Full merrily;
Yet all things must die.
The stream will cease to flow;
The wind will cease to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chrishibbard.wordpress.com&blog=5346716&post=1098&subd=chrishibbard&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Somewhere among the clouds above;

Barter
Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children&#8217;s faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.
Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit&#8217;s still [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chrishibbard.wordpress.com&blog=5346716&post=1094&subd=chrishibbard&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

by Walt Whitman
Beat! Beat! Drums!
Beat! beat! drums!&#8211;Blow! bugles! blow!
Through the windows&#8211;through doors&#8211;burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation;
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet&#8211;no happiness must he have now with

Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, plowing his field or gathering his

by William Butler Yeats
Before the World Was Made
If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity&#8217;s displayed:
I&#8217;m looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.
What if I look upon a man
As though on my beloved,
And my blood be [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=chrishibbard.wordpress.com&blog=5346716&post=1090&subd=chrishibbard&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Beggar to Beggar Cried

&#8220;Time to put off the world and go somewhere
And find my health again in the sea air,&#8217;
Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,
&#8220;And make my soul before my pate is bare.-
&#8220;And get a comfortable wife and house
To rid me of the devil in my shoes,&#8217;

		<description><![CDATA[A poem
by Maya Angelou
Touched by An Angel

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
