Watermelons charles simic

Green Buddhas On the fruit stand. We eat the smile And spit out the teeth.

they are talking about a watermelon in this poem they are refuring to the seeds as teeth and the shape of the peal is the smile.

how do i love thee [|Elizabeth Barrett Browning]

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of being and ideal grace. I love thee to the level of every day's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light I love thee freely, as men strive for right. I love thee purely, as they turn from praise I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

this poem is about a person naming all the ways that they could and do love another person.

They called them crazy when they started out Said, "Seventeen's too young to know what loves about" They've been together fifty-eight years now That's crazy

He brought home sixty-seven bucks a week Bought a little 2 bedroom house on Maple Street Where she blessed him with six more mouths to feed Now that's crazy

Just ask him how he did it He'll say, "Pull up a seat It'll only take a minute To tell you everything"

Be a best friend, tell the truth And overuse "I love you" Go to work, do your best Don't outsmart your common sense Never let your prayin' knees get lazy And love like crazy

They called him crazy when he quit his job Said them home computers, boy, they'll never take off Well, he sold his one man shop to Microsoft And they paid like crazy

Just ask him how he made it He'll tell you faith and sweat And the heart of a faithful woman Who never let him forget

Be a best friend, tell the truth And overuse "I love you" Go to work, do your best Don't outsmart your common sense Never let your prayin' knees get lazy And love like crazy

Always treat your woman like a lady Never get to old to call her baby Never let your prayin' knees get lazy And love like crazy

They called him crazy when they started out They've been together fifty-eight years now Ain't that crazy?
