Alphabetical Poem First Lines

Wonderful retrospective poem; a stream of consciousness elicited from the memory of the falling of an old Olive tree. Enjoyed :)

Delightful poem... choose joy ! Enjoyed :)

Poem by a poet with an 'x' in their name/title:

"Body is the bodhi tree" - Shenxiu/Derek Lin; Shenxiu’s Poem... https://taoism.net/shenxius-poem/

The story behind Shenxiu's poem is even more interesting as the poem itself because it relates the process of adquiring supreme wisdom. It somehow profundises the more concrete idea of the two doors in the poem by Amos Wells.

"Yours a dog's life, do you moan?"." A Dog's Life" by Anonymous

Yes :)

A poem of oppression, or perhaps just poverty, on two levels. Enjoyed :)

Maybe it's ironic for dogs, unless they are strays or are owned by bad people, don't, ead dogs lives.

Lol!I followed your link and landed on a Swedish site. Followed the link on Google, same Swedish site. Fortunately found the beautiful poem here: https://bellmansenglish.substack.com/p/the-milky-way.

"A butterfly among the flowers"."“The Butterfly And The Sundial” by A. M. Stewart

Weird... my History link did the same so I at least copied the url correctly... glad you could find it - it is such a wonderful poem :)

Delightful butterfly poem... Enjoyed :)

"Butterflies are white and blue" - Edna St. Vincent Millay; Mariposa... https://allpoetry.com/poem/8476151-M...incent-Millay/

Ai!An ephemeral life. In Portuguese "Mariposa" is the nightly equivalent of the butterfly, brown and with small, long, folded wings, that dies when exposed to the heat of the bulbs of light.

"Come and marvel at the sunset!". "Storm-Sun"
by Ruby Archer
https://discoverpoetry.com/poems/poems-about-storms/

Mariposa is generic for butterfly in Spanish I believe. I have a poem somewhere on LitNet (games?) that uses many exotic names for butterflies... it's a .png, .gif, or .jpg so not really searchable, same for my Padlet*. There's also my La Mariposa de Hierro: En Dios es Vida Pura titled poem, though the poem itself is in better English than my poor Spanish in the title.

*Note: Just made my .png, .gif, or .jpg butterfly poem searchable on my Padlet using the search term "butterfly"... Its title is oh, butterfly!

Wonderful language giving color to the storm. My first impression was that the people fearing the storm had been in drought and perhaps now expect a flood ? Dunno. Enjoyed very much :)

"Detestable race, continue to expunge yourself, die out." - Edna St. Vincent Millay; Apostrophe To Man ... https://allpoetry.com/Apostrophe-To-Man

I'm still rather stupid at using QR code. I didn't find the search symbol to look for your poem.

I like Edna Millay better at each poem by her I read. How up to date this poem is.
