I guess mine's is "The casualties" by John Pepper Clark. A poem centered on the genocide nicknamed Biafra/ Nigeria war. The poem evokes so much emotion that you could hardly spare a tear. I also have space for another casualty of the war Christopher Okigbo. His poem Labryinths is another one. |

Mine is "A Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes. What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode? |

NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY — by Robert Frost Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf's a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay. |

Excerpt from Darkness by Lord Byron 'The rivers, lakes, and ocean all stood still, And nothing stirred within their silent depths; Ships sailorless lay rotting on the sea, And their masts fell down piecemeal; as they dropped They slept on the abyss without a surge— The waves were dead; the tides were in their grave, The Moon, their mistress, had expired before; The winds were withered in the stagnant air, And the clouds perished! Darkness had no need Of aid from them—She was the Universe!'  |
