Hi, Lestie--
Thanks for starting this thread! Your poem offering is certainly a raucous one . . .
My all time favorite poem is #7 from Rabindranath Tagore's
Gitanjali. Because of possible copyright infringement, I will give only a portion of the poem along with link to where you can see it all:
My poet's vanity dies in shame
Before thy sight.
O Master Poet! I have sat down at thy feet!
Only make my life simple and straight
Like a flute of reed for thee
To fill with music.
--from #7 in
Gitanjali
