The nursery fire burns brightly, crackling in cheerful
little explosions
and trails of sparks up the back of the chimney. Miniature

peppering the black bricks with golden stars, as though a gala
flamed a night of…

OWLinspired: Be not angry with me that I bear
Your colours everywhere....
I dwell impearled.
You blazon me with jeweled insignia.
A flaming nebula
Rims in my life.
And yet
You set
The word upon me, unconfessed
To go unguessed.
-Amy Lowell, Apology

CynthiaDNelson: Some day there will be no war,
Then I shall take out this afternoon

& put it into my lunch-box,
For I have time for nothing
But the endeavour to balance myself
Upon a broken world.

them.
—Amy Lowell
jlorts: You are ice and fire,
The touch of you burns my hands like snow.
You are cold and flame.

The silver of moon-touched magnolias.
When I am with you,
My heart is a frozen pond
Gleaming with agitated torches.
--Amy Lowell (1874-1925),

No_way_but_this: Mirage
Amy Lowell
How is it that, being gone, you fill my days,
And all the long nights are made glad by thee?
No loneliness is this, nor misery,
But great content that these should be the ways
Whereby the Fancy, dreaming as she strays,

masada2118: Irony
by Amy Lowell
An arid daylight shines along the beach
Dried to a grey monotony of tone,
And stranded jelly-fish melt soft upon
The sun-baked pebbles, far beyond their reach
Sparkles a wet, reviving sea. Here bleach
The skeletons of fishes, every bone
Polished and stark,
No_way_but_this: Hora Stellatrix
Amy Lowell
The stars hang thick in the apple tree,
The south wind smells of the pungent sea,
Gold tulip cups are heavy with dew.
The night’s for you, Sweetheart, for you!
Starfire rains from the vaulted blue.
Listen! The dancing of unseen leaves.

And strangle themselves against my fingers,
So that I can hardly weave the garland
For your hair?
