(See Minnipin Books thread) "Picklick in woods, Taste cool green air, Hear splash of brook, Feel spiders in hair. Picklick in meadow, Watch butterflies flutter, See sun on the grass, Taste ants in the butter!" I think a picklick is a picnic. <img src="http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_lol.gif" title=":lol:" class="bb_smilies" /> Pip on "Poetry" http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/poetry/page/3#post-2546 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:12:58 +0000 Pip 2546@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ Ooh, neat-o! Water water all around and all the boards did shrink, Water water all around and not a drop to drink. ~Coleridge, Rime of the Ancient Mariner Owan on "Poetry" http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/poetry/page/3#post-2529 Wed, 22 Oct 2008 07:36:47 +0000 Owan 2529@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ Let's see if I can remember this poem... "Remember the city, the city remember, The one that lies under the ground. The city, the city, always remember That's where treasure will be found." -- Jeanne DuPrau Pip on "Poetry" http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/poetry/page/3#post-2249 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 15:01:43 +0000 Pip 2249@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ Pip here again; I'm reading a very good poetry book for school called "A Child's Anthology of Poetry" by...Elizabeth Sword, I think? I'll be posting some poetry from there here soon, I just don't feel like it right now! <img src="http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/my-plugins/bb-smilies/default/icon_neutral.gif" title=":|" class="bb_smilies" /> Here's something neat I wrote: May God inspire your soul to make wonderful works for Him; May the ink in your pen never run dry; May the point of your pencil never grow dull; May the white stacks of paper never grow shorter, and may you always have them near you; May your writings bless those reading beyond your cluttered desk; May hearth-lighted bookstores embrace each new creation as a beautiful thing; May your hand be ever steady and your eyes, may they never grow weary; And may God be the center of everything you ever write. © 2008 by Pip Pip on "Poetry" http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/topic/poetry/page/3#post-1151 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 18:04:34 +0000 Pip 1151@http://incredibooks.com/ibdiscuss/ Good heavens, I SPELLED IT WRONG????!!!!!

(As I discover them, of course.) We just found a nice, big book of old poetry in the bargain books at Borders for $5!

So Jordan was saying that Alyosha had found a poem he liked.
