soc_puppet: Dreamsheep as Lumpy Space Princess from Adventure Time (Mare Serenitatis)
What with one thing and another (see: The Quire), I've discovered/been exposed to the poetry of Sara Teasdale. And guys, it's absolutely gorgeous.

I'm tempted to get into a rant about what I feel our school system is doing to poetry - and, by extension, just about everything that can be learned - but that would take too long, be poorly thought out, and distract from the point besides. Instead, I think I'll just share a couple of my favorite poems by her:

Faults )

I Am Not Yours )

And that's all I've really got today. I encourage anyone who was even the slightest bit interested by the two poems I posted here to check her other poems out at the Gutenberg Project - or even your local library or book store.
