Yyyeah, I did have an eye doctor appointment this morning, but he was called into surgery so I had to reschedule. Which is fine with me, because I've been up since 4AM with my head pounding. (It was because I ate food that my system disagrees with. I really oughta know better. :/) At least my sleeping schedule's somewhat returning back to normal?

ANYONE REMEMBER THAT 30 DAY MEME I WAS DOING? Let's get back on track!

( THE LIST )

( MY FAVORITE QUOTE )

Current Mood: groggy

Because I'm the nerd that I am, I decided to post some poetry I've been reading and enjoying in my classes lately. I'm in Lit 111: Poetry and Creative Writing, so it's been nothing but poems galore this past week and a half.

( A Beautiful Girl Combs Her Hair, Li Ho )

( Love Poem )

( Lorine Niedecker's Poem )

Current Mood: mellow
Current Music: Downfall ♫ Matchbox Twenty

I discovered this poem through

literaryquotes. It's by Denver Buston.

"this is my suicide dress
she told him
I only wear it on days
when I'm afraid
I might kill myself
if I don't wear it

you've been wearing it
every day since we met
he said
( What She Was Wearing )

Current Mood: sick

In the end, if the wrong in me is that I a woman compose poems, since clearly man have done so and to great praise, what evil is there in my being a woman poet? (Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz)

Recently in my World Literature class, I was introduced to Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz. I thought I'd share a quote from her as well as a poem of hers, translated by Willis Barnstone.

( She Complains about Her Fate: She Asserts Her Aversion to Vices and Justifies Her Pleasure in the Muses )

Current Mood: impressed

I found another poem that's pretty relevent to 2009 so far - or at least how it starts off. Here's to hoping for the best.

( Sometimes, Sheenagh Pugh )

Current Mood: rejuvenated
Current Music: To The Fairies They Draw Near ♫ Loreena McKennitt

When you see this post, post your favorite poem in your journal.

I'm tied between a few poems. I don't have a specific favorite, so I'm going to post two that I really like at the moment.

First, Like As A Huntsman" by Edmund Spenser.

( Like A Huntsman )

Now, "What I Learned from My Mother" by Julia Kasdorf.

( What I Learned From My Mother )

Current Mood: anxious
