- What Pleasure Does A Beautiful Thing Give Us? Are Beautiful Things Worth Treasuring? - A Thing Of Beauty By John Keats
John Keats in his poem describes "a thing a beauty is a joy forever". He beautifully paints the beauty of mother nature and adds vivid colors to it. A beautiful thing gives us the feeling of gratification not merely by seeing it but also sensing it...
- To His Love (edmund Spenser)
One day I wrote her name upon the stand But came the waves and washed it away Again I wrote it with a second hand But came the tide , and made my pains his prey Vain man , said she , that does in vain assay A mortal thing so to immortalize For I myself...
- Making Up For Monday: Character Fun

I knew this much
much earlier
I knew you were
not just a flower
but the hidden treasure
of my secret dreams
yes, I know?
these waves shall forever
roll on, breaking on
the distant cliffs
of our yearning hearts
to soothe our souls
your beauty, fresh
like sweet memories
of distant dreams
shall tide me over
the seasons, the hills?
as I see you now
I will see you again
some day, somewhere
I will see you again
where rivers flow
in a boundless garden
of delight
and get to know you better!
