Fourth Annual Bloggers (Silent) Poetry Reading
Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892 -1950
First Fig
My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends--
It gives a lovely light
Second Fig
Safe upon the solid rock the ugly houses stand;
Come and see my shining palace built upon the sand!

Lovely stuff from Millay-- she really was a terrific poet.
Hi again:
I'd like to pass on the "Superior Scribbler" award to you-- I received it from Citizen K earlier today. You can stop by Robert Frost's Banjo anytime after about 5-10 minutes to pick it up.
Great job with the Lizzy Frizzfrock blog!
I so love Edna! These shorties are some of my favorites. Thanks for sharing. I'm including you in my (Silent) Poetry Reading list of participating blogs. So nice to meet you!
