Happy Friday!
I hope everyone has some good plans for the weekend. I am still recovering so I imagine more reading will be happening.
My chosen poem this week is by Robert Graves (1895-1985).
Love at First Sight
'Love at first sight,' some say, misnaming
Discovery of twinned helplessness
Against the huge tug of procreation.
But friendship at first sight? This also
Catches fiercely at the surprised heart
So that the cheek blanches and then blushes.
Robert Graves

Happy Friday!
I hope everyone has a good weekend planned.
I am sticking with my fairy theme this week and have gone for another fairy related poem.
This poem is by Robert Graves (1895-1985) who was an English novelist and poet. He is perhaps most famous for his fictional autobiography of the Roman Emperor Claudius, I, Claudius.
Children born of fairy stock
Never need for shirt or frock,
Never want for food or fire,
Always get their heart’s desire:
Jingle pockets full of gold,
Marry when they’re seven years old,
Every fairy child may keep
Two strong ponies and ten sheep;
All have houses, each his own,
Built of brick or granite stone;
They live on cherries, they run wild –
I’d love to be a fairy’s child.
Robert Graves
