I love this poem.

Wow, It's been almost a month since I've posted anything. I guess I sort of forgot about it. Shame on me. :o Well, I'm back with another awesome poem. This one is called "Risk" by Anais Nim. I love this poem, it expresses so much with so little words. Hope you enjoy. :)

Risk

by Anais Nim

And then the day came,

when the risk

to remain tight

in a bud

was more painful

than the risk

it took

to Blossom.

A lovely poem

I was flipping through my journal of favorite poems last night and I reread this one for the hundredth time, and it still made me smile. It's called, "The Coin" by Sarah Teasdale. If you've never heard of Sarah Teasdale, you should definitely read some of her work. Her poems are beautiful, and they always tug at my heart. Most of the poems in my journal belong to her.

The Coin

by Sarah Teasdale

Into my hearts treasury

  I slipped a coin

That time cannot take

  Nor a thief purloin,--

Oh better than the minting

  Of a gold-crowned king

Is the safe-kept memory

  Of a lovely thing.
