snowy woods

[my miss storm cat]

Very good, Sir. I shall return a bit later.

In the meantime I had to find something earlier today and i came across this so thought I'd share.

It's by Sylvia Plath and called Mad Girls Love Song.


I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;
I lift my lids and all is born again.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)


The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,
And arbitrary blackness gallops in:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.


I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed
And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)


God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:
Exit seraphim and Satan's men:
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.


I fancied you'd return the way you said,
But I grow old and I forget your name.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)


I should have loved a thunderbird instead;
At least when spring comes they roar back again.
I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
(I think I made you up inside my head.)

Thought you'd think it was interesting.

I know you're the most Robert Frost type but I'd never read this one... wondered if you had or not.
