"Puff, the Magic Dragon"

"Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honahlee
Little Jackie paper loved that rascal puff
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff."

I'm glad to hear you say that because to this day the song makes me sad yet I still listen because, at the same time, it's a pretty song.

Wonderful creation, Rodolfo!
Thanks Catherine and Lisa.
It happened to me and I still do the same when I hear it. It has a strange fascination, as Lisa says well sad and pretty :)

"We Grow Accustomed to the Dark"
A poem by Emily Dickinson

We grow accustomed to the Dark -
When light is put away -
As when the Neighbor holds the Lamp
To witness her Goodbye -

A Moment - We uncertain step
For newness of the night -
Then - fit our Vision to the Dark -
And meet the Road - erect -

"Shades of Gray"

A Color Story, Ovla (Text)

"Shades of Gray" is a song that was written in 1965 by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and was recorded by The Monkees for their 1967 album Headquarters.

"When the world and I were young
Just yesterday
Live was such a simple game
A child could play
It was easy then to tell right from wrong
Easy then to tell weak from strong
When a man should stand and fight
Or just go along

But today there is no day or night
Today there is no dark or light
Today there is no black or white
Only shades of gray"

From the poem "Trees in Autumn"
by John Jay Chapman, North American Writer (1863-1933)

The poets have made Autumn sorrowful;
I find her joyous, radiant, serene.
Her pomp is hung in a deep azure sky
That turns about the world by day and night,
Nor loses its bright charm.
And when the trees resign their foliage,
Loosing their leaves upon the cradling air
As liberally as if they ne'er had owned them,
They show the richer for the nakedness
That weds them with the clarity of heav'n.
Love this pic and the poem that goes with it.
 
I heard a quote from this poem recently and instantly (or even quicker) thought of Glenton Rodolfo and zenjenny Jen when I saw the entire poem. It is made for you two. Jen, you've already done some fabulous work that would go with almost any part of this poem. Would you both pick a section or an image and match it, one to the other? Pleeeeeeaase.:rolleyes:

The Name
by Don Marquis

It shifts and glides from form to form,
— It drifts and darkles, gleams and glows;

It is the passion of the storm,
— The poignance of the rose; —

Through changing shapes, through devious ways,
— By noon or night, in cloud or flame,

My heart has followed all my days
— Something I cannot name!

In sunlight on some woman's hair,
— Or starlight in some woman's eye,

Or in low laughter smothered where
— Her red lips wedded mine,

My heart hath known, and thrilled to know,
— This unnamed presence that it sought;

And when my heart hath found it so,
— " Love is the name, " I thought.

Sometimes when sudden afterglows
— In futile glory storm the skies,

Within their transient gold and rose
— The secret stirs and dies;

Or when the trampling morn walks o'er
— The troubled seas, with feet of flame,

My awed heart whispers, " Ask no more,
— For Beauty is the name! "

Or dreaming in old chapels where
— The dim aisles pulse with murmurings

That part are music, part are prayer —
— (Or rush of hidden wings),

Sometimes I lift a startled head
— To some saint's carven countenance,

Half fancying that the lips have said,
— " All names mean God, perchance! "
