Poem of the Day: Seuss For Lonely Ladies

06/17/2011 9:00 am

There was a time I could have wanted it

Wanted what I thought it was

Wanted what I was with it

Wanted it because

There was a time I could have sunk in it

Sunk in it as a single does

Sunk in it, saying that

What it was, it was

There was a time I could have drowned in it

Drowned in it and facial fuzz

I could have, would have drowned in it

Just because, because

There was a time for fricatives

I felt them standing on my tongue

Felt for fun and felt for food

And what I sensed, I sung.

There will come again some sibilance

Come again that shirring sigh

He will hold me shoulder width

I will hold him shoulder high
