poetry that i didnt write


I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.

And I water'd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright;
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veil'd the pole:
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretch'd beneath the tree.

cp: thanks. that's a william blake poem called Poison Apple.

Ruben: Sure! Why not? I have always thought about being a writer, I bet I could do ok. And you bet, I'll try my hand at getting published. What should I write about?

Not only can I not write poetry (I enjoyed this), but I can't write prose that rhymes either. Lovely.
