LANGSTON HUGHES

Langston Hughes
Took the Blues
And with a certain nonchalance
Made the Harlem Renaissance.

Clerihew for the Queen of Camden

Young Walter "Walt" Whitman
Could not quite admit men,
Had he his druthers,
Would be more than brothers.

From Selected Poems, by Charlotte Mew

I SO LIKED SPRING

I so liked Spring last year
Because you were here;-
The thrushes too-
Because it was these you so liked to hear-
I so liked you.

This year's a different thing,-
I'll not think of you.
But I'll like the Spring because it is simply spring
As the thrushes do.

Granted
