1. On The Death Of Friends In Childhood - written by Donald Justice
Read 4715 times on American Poems.
We shall not ever meet them bearded in heaven
Nor sunning themselves among the bald of hell;
If anywhere, in the deserted schoolyard at twilight,

In games whose very names we have forgotten.
Come memory, let... (Read full poem)
2. Autobiographia Literaria - written by Frank O\'Hara
Read 3192 times on American Poems.
When I was a child
I played by myself in a
corner of the schoolyard
all alone.

flew away.
If anyone was looking
for me I hid behind a
tree and cried out "I am

From Enough Rope.
Published in 1926.
Read 3055 times on American Poems.
They say of me, and so they should,

Keep doing things I think are... (Read full poem)

And watch his curly head,
And lead him in their games,
The little boy we led.

He knows more than we know,
His light is brighter far
Than daytime here below.

Read 1777 times on American Poems.
"...here thy generations endeth in accord."
I physically resemble my mother
And father and therefore must have been

Dear Friends, reproach me not for what I do,
Nor counsel me, nor pity me; nor say

For bubble-work that only fools pursue.

Blow bigger then your own: the games we... (Read full poem)

Her arms semaphore fat triangles,
Pudgy hands bunched on layered hips
Where bones idle under years of fatback
And lima beans.

Of crimes clichéd by
Repetition. Her children, strangers
To childhood's toys,... (Read full poem)

The storm-dances of gulls, the barking game of seals,
Over and under the ocean ...

Rules the games, presides over destinies, makes trees grow
And hills tower, waves fall.
The incredible beauty of joy
Stars with fire the... (Read full poem)
10. Theophilus - written by Edwin Arlington Robinson

By what serene malevolence of names
Had you the gift of yours, Theophilus?
Not even a smeared young Cyclops at his games
Would have you long,—and you are one of us.
Told of your deeds I shudder for your dream
And they, no doubt, are few... (Read full poem)

What can you say about the Mets
down three games to none
one run down with six outs to go
Cedeno singles steals second Mora walks

off the previously unhittable John Rocker

At night Chinamen jump
on Asia with a thump

No one is safe. The streets are unsafe.

And now our government
a bird with two right wings

Such... (Read full poem)

I was bold on first dates. My father a crack salesman.
I've saved... (Read full poem)

And if they want me, let them find me.
