slumberWell, as it said. GIP. *grins*
*loves children* Aren't they cute and adorable? *refrains from cooing*
Also, we are going to begin reciting poems this Thursday for English class. Erk. Pick a poem, the professor said, any poem that you like. (That isn't modern and is, you know, published by a known author.)
So, I am stuck. I have no real favourites, or, er, I don't know. Help, anyone? Give me suggestions for poems.. Originally I thought maybe Invictus, then maybe Sonnet 17 *giggles* but I don't know. I've got to recite it in class and stuff. er, hmm...

On the death of friends in childhood - http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/5810/justice.html
Women in Love - http://www.geocities.com/Paris/LeftBank/5810/love.html
Women in Love, I think, is the best poem ever written. I'm not much of a one for poetry as a rule, but that poem is just perfect.
Or if you want to go really Old Skool, there's always Byron...
She walks in Beauty - http://plagiarist.com/poetry/2207/
We'll go no more a-roving - http://plagiarist.com/poetry/5950/
Okay, I think that will do to go on with!!!

Date: 2004-09-21 07:48 am (UTC)The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. If you're allowed to use props, there's a Loreena McKennit song which uses the poem for its lyrics. She's also done a song for Lady of Shallot by tennyson, which was recommended to you earlier.
