Stand

This poetry unit is also shorter than the other one because I was assigned to put a poem from another author it it, and to put lyrics from a song in it as well.  The poem I chose was "Eldorado" by Edgar Allan Poe.  The song I chose was "Strange Kind of Love" by Peter Murphy.
Today's poem had a drawing behind it.  First the poem.

Stand

Today I ran
Far from the land
Away from the world and you.
If I could fly
(I'd like to try),
I would follow your sky too.

You never knew
I loved you too.
Can I help you understand
That what we had
Was simply mad,
And I can no longer stand?

 (Sometime in the late winter or early spring of 1995)


And now the photograph of my drawing.  You know.  Just for kicks.
