Poem 16 - The Reminder

THE REMINDER - THOMAS HARDY

While I watch the fireplace blaze
Paint the room with ruddy rays,
Something makes my vision glide
To the frosty scene outside. 

There, to reach a rotting berry,
Toils a thrush, -constrained to very
Dregs of food by sharp distress,
Taking such with thankfulness. 

Why, O starving bird, when I
One day’s joy would justify,
And put misery out of view,
Do you make me notice you!

The Christmas Eve       By: Leila Calhoun

While my frieplace at a blaze

The room painted with cinnamon rays

Look outside vision put astride

'Cause of the frosty snow outside

There, to almost a winter berry

My "cute", little sweaters vairy 

Plates of food, soon to be devoured

Then taking a nap with thankfulness

Why, is there a starving bird, when I

With one day's joy of course Ii justify

Put all your misery out of you

Realizing, wait, you made me notice you!

The Wasp By Landen Weathers

While I feel the wind blow by
Blow my hair from side to side,
Sometimes make my vision glide
To the heated scene outside.

There to collect some mud,
Risking your life for a home,
Also have little food to find
Taking such, not from behind.

Why,oh searching wasp, when I
One day's heat would justify
And put your death out of view,
Why, you make me notice you.

A Winter Evening
While i watch Christmas blaze
Paint the room with cookie rays
I see a striking view
In the white snow true

There, to see it
Tossing and turning
A little bit of red belly shows
A winter hibernation in tow

Why oh sleepless fox , when I
One days sleep would justify,
Put sleep out of view
Hey you make me notice you
