Just wanted to Share one of my Favourite Poets….
THE GOOD-MORROW.
by John Donne
I WONDER by my troth, what thou and I
Did, till we loved ? were we not wean’d till then ?
But suck’d on country pleasures, childishly ?
Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers’ den ?
‘Twas so ; but this, all pleasures fancies be ;
If ever any beauty I did see,
Which I desired, and got, ’twas but a dream of thee.
And now good-morrow to our waking souls,
Which watch not one another out of fear ;
For love all love of other sights controls,
And makes one little room an everywhere.
Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone ;
Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown ;
Let us possess one world ; each hath one, and is one.
My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
And true plain hearts do in the faces rest ;
Where can we find two better hemispheres
Without sharp north, without declining west ?
Whatever dies, was not mix’d equally ;
If our two loves be one, or thou and I
Love so alike that none can slacken, none can die

Oh wow, you just sent me back to high school English class and my dearest teacher, Mr Page. He was the one who told me I had a gift for poetry–and for a girl who didn’t believe she had anything, he handed me a million dollars in gold. I get teary thinking about him.

I had a favourite teacher too…a Mr Zarek. Had him for English class my junior and senior year 🙂 He read out one of my compositions in class once because he gave me an A+ and he said in all his years teaching he had never done that and he had to share it. At the time it was embarassing, but I have never forgotten how amazed he was and how he told me to pursue writing because I had/have a gift. Teachers really do touch our lives forever!

I so wish mine was still alive–I’d love to show him my current work. I’m glad Mr Zarek gave you the same gift!!
