    Beautiful, intense poem, reminds me a bit of Dylan Thomas.

    Yes, and Neruda perhaps

    "Awake from lethargy! / Behold, time swiftly flies, / Like lightning o'er the skies, / Into eternity." Almost like a psalm. Enjoyed

    A grammar question: why do you US Americans usually write "in their name" instead of "in his name" or "in her name" depending of the gender?

    Wonderful poem about emotional ambiguity(stealing the terms from ia).

    Another poem by the same poet, I like him.

    Vanity I just cut and paste using 'their' then I don't have to bother with the pronouns.

    Beautiful poem about frail humanity and the majestic skies.

    Ooops! Some hole hear. Completing with "b" and "c" poems and adding the "e" poem.

    "Brand new pupil came to school"."The Little New Pupil"
    by Annette Wynne
    https://discoverpoetry.com/poems/ann...tle-new-pupil/

    "Chatter of birds two by two raises a night song joining a litany of running"."Prairie Waters by Night"
    by Carl Sandburg
    https://discoverpoetry.com/poems/car...ters-by-night/

    Now the "e" poem so the next will be "f":
    "EVEN in the bluest noonday of July,"."To Mrs. Will. H. Low"
    From Underwoods (1913) by Robert Louis Stevenson

    Lol... I thought your 'a cat' poem was counting for a 'c' poem, but ok

    "He's but a kitten gray." Delightful poem
    "the willows drowse and sleep on the shoulders of the running water." A bit run on but enjoyed
    I hadn't realized that Robert Louis Stevenson had had such a short life (1850–1894)... A rather grim poem but enjoyable
