How Old Are you? Poem-by Ashley Haili

When Your Hero Falls

One Inch Tall

If you were only one inch tall,
you'd ride a worm to school.
The teardrop of a crying ant
would be your swimming pool.
A crumb of cake would be a feast
And last you seven days at least,
A flea would be a frightening beast
If you were one inch tall.
If you were only one inch tall,
you'd walk beneath the door,
And it would take about a month
to get down to the store.
A bit of fluff would be your bed,
You'd swing upon a spider's thread,
And wear a thimble on your head
If you were one inch tall.
You'd surf across the kitchen sink
upon a stick of gum.
You couldn't hug your mama,
you'd just have to hug her thumb.
You'd run from people's feet in fright,
To move a pen would take all night,
(This poem took fourteen years to write--
'Cause I'm just one inch tall).
-by Shel Silverstein

A Dream within a Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
-by Edgar Allan Poe

I carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me
(i carry it inmy heart)
i am never without it
(anywhere i go you go,
my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,
my darling)i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,
my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,
my true)and it's you are whatever
a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than the soul can hope
or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder
that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart
(i carry it in my heart)
-E.E. Cummings
