I'm at a loss right now. I just got done reading Such a Pretty Girl by Laura Weiss, and I'm finishing The Lovely Bones tonight most likely. I would like to finish Water For Elephants but the library took that back. Any ideas?

I'll tell you what I think -- I adore him. I think I'll write my thesis on him! First I have to dig him up, though, and find a pen that works on bones...

But I digress. What do you think of Poe?

The Poem's Called Lullaby
By Eve Merriam


Purple,

Purple,

Twilight

Sky light.



Purple as a king's cape

Purple as a grape.



Purple for the evening

When daylight is leaving.



Soft and purry,

Gentle and furry,

Velvet evening-time.



Purple,

Purple.

Sky light

Goodbye light.



Dusky

Musky

Into night.

My teacher wants it to be realistic, no magic, but we can time travel. It has to be about energy or about the environment any ideas? I've started it, but I don't have a plot or what my character should do. Here is what I have done so far:

small and emptied woman you lie here a thousand years dead
your hands on your diminished loins flat in this final bed
teeth jutting from your unwound head your spiced boned black and dried,
who knew you and kissed you and kept you and wept when you died;
died you young had you grace? Risus sardonicus replied.
Then quick I siezed my husband's hand while he stared at his bride.

The Civil Rights movement included events such as Rosa Parks Montgomery Bus Boycott, Desegregation in Little Rock, and Emmyt Till. How did these impact the writing of Black like Me.. the book where the guy turned his skin color black to see the segregating affects.

To see more of my poems, go to poetry.com, and type 'Whitney Hales' into the searchbar. I AM NOT Whitney K. Hales. I'm just Whitney Hales.

The curtain parts
And night reveals
The new hope I call dawn.
Such wonderful colors
Gracing the sky
With ethereal glory
Blue for humility,
Pink for charity,
Orange for beauty.
With peaceful prelude...
Now comes the day!

As a child I was told a poem by my mother
Kate, Kate, you'd better not wait
The two little Smith girls have just passed the gate
Hurry up darling, I know you'll be late
Kate, Kate, Kate.

Does anybody know it?
I would like to know the rest of the poem and the author.
Also whether it is in or out of copyright

Yet each man kills the thing he loves,
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!



The stanza is from 'The Ballad of Reading Gaol' by Oscar Wilde. The lines seem to be quoted quite frequently, and they have a haunting and impactful nature to them.

However, what do they mean?

I have never taken Oscar Wilde at any point in my schooling. (unfortunately)

I am desperately searching for 2 children's books from the 1980's. I can see them both in my mind but cannot remember the titles or the publisher so thought I'd have a try on here on the off chance if anyone recognises the descriptions...
They were sold in WHSmith in the 80's and they were quite an expensive book for the time.
One was about gardening and one was a cookery book, there may have been other kinds... they were square in shape and spiralbound, quite weighty, the gardening book was mainly green, and the thing I remeber most is the illustrations... each diagram had lots of tiny little people taking part in the cooking, gardening etc. The illustrastions made the books.
Does anyone recognise these at all from my vague description? Does anyone remember them? I've been trying to remember the title and publisher for quite a while now and i've decided I'll never be able to remember. Can anyone shed any light on the subject?

They chose my peom as a semi-finalist in some contest and say that the poem will published in a book. Is this some sort of scam or for real? It kind of sounds fishy to me.
