Famous quotes containing the word poems:

“Suppertime I float toward you
from the stewpot
holding poems you shrug off
and you kiss me like a mosquito.”

There’s Gert and there’s Ep and there’s Ein.
Gert’s poems are bunk,
Ep’s statues are junk,
And no-one can understand Ein.”

with mercy
for the greedy,
they are the tongue’s wrangle,
the world’s pottage, the rat’s star.”
