Song for the Rainy Season


"Hidden, oh hidden
in the high fog
the house we live in
beneath the magnetic rock,
rain -, rainbow-ridden"

- Elizabeth Bishop

Life is Beautiful


What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would still smell as sweet.
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name, which is no part of thee
Take all myself.

Hippies

That's All You Need
I'm an animal science major,
And I use poetry every day.

This is the poem we created in class today.
My professor is Dr. James Cushing.
He teaches poetry and is a huge hippie.
We sat outside today.
Strangest man I've ever met.
Kind of reminds of Steve Martin's character from the movie Baby Mama.
