Adelaide Crapsey is known for bringing the form to the U.S. Here is her most
famous one.
"There be
three silent things:
the falling snow. the hour
before the dawn.the mouth of one
just dead."
Below is my own parody of this, submitted many times
and always rejected. I always put "after Adelaide Crapsey."
Any suggestions?
Flopsey, Mopsey, and Crapsey
There be
three thrilling things:
macaroni and cheese.
Manhattans, straight up if you please.
and thee.
Jackie Lee
Time is the school in which we learn.
Time is the fire in which we burn.
