- Edgar Allen Poe (The Raven).

The snowflakes are dancing, floating, and falling. The church bells are calling, but I will not go.

I saw my cap fly high, “snap –snap- snap” it called.caught by an eagle’s beak, sky-bound, my once fine cap was mauled.

Behold the hippopotamus! __

We laugh at how he looks to us, __

And yet in moments dank and grim __

I wonder how we look to him. __

Peace, peace, thou hippopotamus!__

We really look all right to us, __

As you no doubt delight the eye __

Of other hippopotami. __

I was angry with my friend: ___I told my wrath, my wrath did end. ___I was angry with my foe: ___I told it not, my wrath did grow. ___And I watered it in fears, ___Night and morning with my tears; ___And I sunned it with smiles, ___And with soft deceitful wiles. ___And it grew both day and night, ___Till it bore an apple bright. ___And my foe beheld it shine. ___And he knew that it was mine, ___And into my garden stole ___When the night had veiled the pole; ___In the morning glad I see ___My foe outstretched beneath the tree. ___

A Pizza the Size of the Sun

I'm making a pizza the size of the sun, ___a pizza that's sure to weigh more than a ton, ___a pizza too massive to pick up and toss, ___a pizza resplendent with oceans of sauce. ___

I'm topping my pizza with mountains of cheese, ___with acres of peppers, pimentos, and peas, ___with mushrooms, tomatoes, and sausage galore, ___with every last olive they had at the store. ___

My pizza is sure to be one of a kind, ___my pizza will leave other pizzas behind, ___my pizza will be a delectable treat, ___that all who love pizza are welcome to eat. ___

The oven is hot, I believe it will take ___a year and a half for my pizza to bake. ___I can hardly wait til my pizza is done, ___my wonderful pizza the size of the sun. ___

Acquainted with the Night by Robert Frost

Acquainted with the Night

I have been one acquainted with the night. ___I have walked out in rain -- and back in rain. ___I have outwalked the furthest city light. ___

I have looked down the saddest city lane. ___I have passed by the watchman on his beat ___And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. ___

I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet ___When far away an interrupted cry ___Came over houses from another street, ___

But not to call me back or say good-bye; ___And further still at an unearthly height, ___A luminary clock against the sky ___

Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. ___I have been one acquainted with the night.  ___
