Help me find this poem?
It was on a wall hanging, and about 2 irishmen, one never smiled, one always did. Both men had 4 part names, like Johathan Harrington Flanigan Flynn, or something. It mentions one man, with attributes, then the other. The lines I barely remember seem mixed from the two example men. (First name) (Middle name) (middle name) Flynn, had an invincible, whinsible grin. He never laughed and seldom smiled, and all of his tears were crocodiles. It was only about 8 of these type of lines long. Please help me find it.
Would you help me with my poem?
Here it is in answer form:--------------------------I am losing it, in sightStarting narrow, opening brightIt is not heavy, nor lightCan't measure it, it's delightIt reflects, like a mirror, in partYet, open ended, resembling artIt surrounds, like a circle, no end or startCan't understand it, it's in the heartThe only thing in the world without a blurSelf demonstrating the literacy of pureIt pauses my pain, as a natural cureCan't doubt it, it's sureI won't help it, or give assistanceRather sacrifice all, worth more than existenceIt puts me to extremes, from mild to wildCan't hold it back, as I'm standing by the bed, of my sleeping child--------------------------What I see is rhymed unfooted verse; "unfooted" means that there isn't a regular pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables; as you mature as a poet you may find that easier and easier to accomplish.Your rhymes are well-chosen; Great! "in the literacy of pure" is a little awkwardly reached, but it's mysterious enough to count as a good line.Winding up, the final line makes all the mysteries vanish; this also is very good.And finally, the feeling, the emotion is clear, believable, and well rendered.

Please help me find the theme of this poem....?
In this poem, Wordsworth is calling to the dead poet Milton to somehow recharge England's moral, intellectual and cultural batteries in order to restore her former greatness. He refers to the "altar," i.e., the church, the "sword," i.e., the military, and the "pen," i.e., literature, as being stagnant and says the English have lost their ability to possess inner happiness and do great deeds because of smallness and selfishness. In the last part of the sonnet, he lauds Milton's fine qualities that make him a worthy example for inspiring a return to past glory. Of course, in one way of looking at it, this is simply a call to go back to the good old days, which every generation thinks about at one time or another whether it is warranted or not. And one wonders what Wordsworth would have thought of post-Milton England if he had lived to the 1940s and seen her "finest hour." .
Please help me find this japanese poem/song?
"I want to kill all the crows and sleep in with my lover" is difficult to find because the protagonist mistakes it for a song. Later, it is corrected by the other main character that it is a "poem", with a translator's note that this is a 7-7-7-5 syllable form poem. The only poem type with this form is a dodoitsu. The title of the story "Akegarasu" [ Dawn Crow] and it's follow up "Yume no Awayuki " [Dream of Light Snow] when combined form the title to the Edo Era poem/story「明け烏 の 夢 淡雪」 translated sometimes as "Ravens at First Light". The story is a story of a samurai who falls in love with a prostitute. He falls on hard times, has no money, and thus can no longer pay the prostitute; however, she has fallen in love with him, and they run away together and commit double suicide. The dodoitsu itself reads 三千世界の 烏を殺し 主と朝寝を してみたい sanze sekai no - karasu wo koroshi - nushi to asane wo - shitemitai I would like to kill all the crows in every mortal world, and sleep in late with my master. or “Killing all crows in the entire world, I would love to indulge in a nice lie-in with you, my darling” ..although the manga really has the most elegant translation. Word-for-Word 三千世界 の -> Three thousand worlds (Buddist reference; often means "the universe") 烏を殺し -> murdering the ravens/crows (from the three thousand worlds) 主と朝寝を -> lie-in/reposing with master/hearts-master してみたい -> I'd like to The reason it might have been misquoted as a song is that dodoitsu in the edo period were once recited to the playing of the shamisen, hence the interpretation of a "song". There is some doubt as to the origin of the poem, although Takasugi Shinsaku is often credited with the work.
Please help me find the name of this poem by Brian Patten!?
Lethargy. You have dreamt so often of what you would do If your life were irrevocably changed That when you are forced finally from the route best understood And on to another less obvious way, You think at first, fantasy will sustain you Sink, then dream into what might have been! For though on the brilliant branch The brilliant fruit still clings It is no longer reached with ease, And it's dazzle's frightening. --Brian Patten. I found it quoted on a blog. Not too easily found,but this should help. Thanks for introducing me to another splendid poet.
