Poetry meme

In the desert
I saw a creature, naked, bestial
Who, squatting upon the ground, held his heart in his hands
And ate of it.
I said, "Is it good, friend?"
"It is bitter--bitter," he answered,
"But I like it
Because it is bitter,
And because it is my heart."



Stephen Crane rocks the house. Seriously.

So, yeah, everybody go post a poem of their own. Baaaaa.

I almost posted that one, but then decided on a different one from Black Riders. You have good taste. :)

Thanks. It was either that, Prufrock (too long, I decided, and too well-known), or "Luke Havergal," which I already posted in a different meme last year.
