I have been mulling over what to post about for a while now and sadly, i am having a slight word drought. Not that I have nothing to say (as if! hehe) but just that I don't really know which bits to put down or how to put them down... I will try to do so soon though! For the moment i've decided to use someone else's words. This is one of my favorite poems in the whole wide world, and I've been meaning to post it for a while now, it's beautiful...
Pied Beauty
Glory be to God for dappled things -
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced - fold, fallow, and plough;
And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:

With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;

Praise him.
