Poems

So in English we're going to pick some cool poems. I've already picked a few that i like, and will post one of them here.

Cold Blooded Creatures


By Elinor Wylie

Man, the egregious egoist,
(In mystery the twig is bent,)
Imagines, by some mental twist,
That he alone is sentient

Of the intolerable load
Which on all living creatures lies,
Nor stoops to pity in the toad
The speechless sorrow of its eyes.

He asks no questions of the snake,
Nor plumbs the phosphorescent gloom
Where lidless fishes, broad awake,
Swim staring at a night-mare doom.

This one spoke out to me because I love vampires, and because it has a lot of details. There's also some other ones but I'll post them later.
