my teenagers do not act like this one. he has no internal filter, and one day he is going to piss off the wrong person and get his ass kicked. it doesnt help much that his parents talk to and around him like he is another adult. and if i spoke to my parents the way he does to his, id be buried in the back 40 somewhere.

looks up, smiles. holds a finger out.
"The rising moon has hid the stars;
Her level rays, like golden bars,
Lie on the landscape green,
With shadows brown between.
And silver white the river gleams,
As if Diana, in her dreams,
Had dropt her silver bow
Upon the meadows low.
On such a tranquil night as this,
She woke Endymion with a kiss,
When, sleeping in the grove,
He dreamed not of her love.
Like Diana's kiss, unasked, unsought,
Love gives itself, but is not bought;
Nor voice, nor sound betrays
Its deep, impassioned gaze.
It comes,--the beautiful, the free,
The crown of all humanity,--
In silence and alone
To seek the elected one.
It lifts the boughs, whose shadows deep
Are Life's oblivion, the soul's sleep,
And kisses the closed eyes
Of him, who slumbering lies.
O weary hearts! O slumbering eyes!
O drooping souls, whose destinies
Are fraught with fear and pain,
Ye shall be loved again!
No one is so accursed by fate,
No one so utterly desolate,
But some heart, though unknown,
Responds unto his own.
Responds,--as if with unseen wings,
An angel touched its quivering strings;
And whispers, in its song,
'Where hast thou stayed so long?'"

repeats softly
"O weary hearts! O slumbering eyes!
O drooping souls, whose destinies
Are fraught with fear and pain,
Ye shall be loved again!"

Gorgeous sentiment!

Isn't it, though? I love Longfellow, although Keats' "Endymion" is lovely too.

It is!
And this just reminds me, I should read more poetry. After college and my literature studies ended, I've read next to none...children's poetry doesn't quite count.

I've definitely been making more of an effort lately! Although, nothing wrong with Shel Silverstein.
For example:

You keep calling me this as if it's something I'd try to deny.
And it's King Heathen to you!
Or.. Grand Royal Duke Heathen.
Or something.
I've just never 'got' poetry. Which sucks, but I freely admit like 98% of it is completely lost on me.

Aaahh - poetry....
*Relaxes and goes back to writing, or rather, trying to*

Prime Minister of Heathenry?
That's enough! You don't get a title!
And poetry is kind of like sushi: you either really like it or really hate it. At least, I haven't met a lot of middle of the road sushi type of people. Bad analogy. Goddammit.

You know, you really shouldn't talk about sushi while a fish is in the room. Just bad manners.

You don't love or hate sushi! I like some, but not all. And poetry is nothing like rice and eel wrapped in sea weed. So Meh!

I have to admit, I do love tempura poetry. Crispy and deep fried. Yummy.

You know that feeling when you walk in half way through a conversation and have no idea what you've come in to...?
Am right there!

Don't worry, freckles. You could've been here for all of it and it still wouldn't make any sense.

Now, where'd I leave that boulder....

It made me laugh, just didn't know why.
