An Ode To William BlakeAn Ode To William
Blake
----------------------------------
He when Painted,
Printed or Wrote,
His face always wore
a grave grin.
THAT Soft in heart
and hand,
The sculptor, stones
had ever seen;
Sitting by the lonely-
lake’s shore
Portrayed the
playing cherubs.
For me his shop
would have been,
For Pope, Dryden’s
coffee
shop.

Ode
William Blake (1757-1827)He saw too far, too deep
To linger long
Amid the zombie throng
Of men who are asleep.
He spied the angels near
Enough to touch;
He painted such
Exquisite visions clear.
He painted them with lines
And with his words:
Immortal birds
That fly in dream-designs....

Verse
Blake LivelyNot much can match Blake Lively in nineteen sixties attire.
I'm looking for a path way to hire
That leads me to some type of perfection
That is emulated
In that image
In the scene
I am amazed by how serene
A woman can be.
Like my fondness of trees
A special one makes...

Deprived of blood in the womb,

Acted in Starwars, in the 1977 film.

And is a most consistent runner,
He must get fitness from his mum,

Blue Eys BlakeWrote this for the biggest Blake Shelton Fan contest
With a "Hillbilly Bone" down deep inside
There is no way Blake can hide
How country that he can be
He's a little "Honey Bee"
With eyes that are bright and blue
Singing with a voice so true
Serenading wife Miranda
They cuddle on...

Cornish EyeI watched
A Cornish chough,
Flying so Cornish high,
Over Cornish cliffs,
In a Cornish sky,
All Cornish observations,
Made by my Cornish eye.
I watched
The Cornish sun,
Masked by a Cornish cloud,
I thought my Cornish thoughts,
My Cornish thoughts were loud,
I viewed the Cornish landscape,
And I felt so Cornish proud.
I watched
The...

OraclesA secret is granted
any curb captain
listening.
To speak rarely and
with roots.
Blake wears a hardhat,
drives a forklift for
Metal Products.
Whitman collects
unemployment in the mail.
New words
are mined coal.
They are the drink
from bags,
the suicide in jail,
and
the housekeeper
called only by her first name.
Keeping pace
with a secret at
the speed of light
is the...

Creature of Doom
What creature is this that cometh near
His luggage filled to the brim with fear
Crushing our lives, crushing our beliefs
O whence for me shall bring only griefs
What of the men whom now weep?
What of the woman buried alive in their sleep?
What of the children who once...
