LibriVox volunteers bring you 17 recordings of O Hollow Hollow Hollow by W.S. Gilbert. This was the Weekly Poetry project for January 8, 2012.Here is a poem by the "fleshly" poet, Bunthorne, from the opera Patience, by Gilbert and Sullivan. Who better to introduce it than the poet himself:BUNTHORNE. It is a wild, weird, fleshy thing; yet very tender, veryyearning, very precious. It is called, "Oh, Hollow! Hollow! Hollow!"PATIENCE Is it a hunting song?BUNTHORNE. A hunting song? No, it is not a hunting song. It is thewail of the poet's heart on discovering that everything iscommonplace. To understand it, cling passionately to one anotherand think of faint lilies.Bunthorne was considered to have been modelled on Oscar Wilde, but more recent reseach has suggested that this claim is not correct.

A wild rollercoaster ride through school, the Multiverse, and finding yourself, over and over and over again… It's the last day of school, and Amber bunks off to go partying with a raggle-taggle group of friends: the geeks, the queer kids, the school dropouts. But even in this group, it can be a struggle to fit in. Accidentally stumbling through a portal that launches them across the Multiverse, Amber embarks on a journey that will force them to question who they are and who they want to become. As they tumble through time and space, will they finally find somewhere they belong? Lewis Hetherington's play The Multiverse is Gay! was first performed at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh, in a production by the Lyceum Young Company.

This is the first volume of Poems by American poet and novelist Elinor Wylie, published in 1921. - Summary by CarolinVoir livre
I traveled the dirt road with no water in sight. My lips parched and dry from the burning sun. My feet cracked and rough, cut with sharp stones. I had traveled this road many times. I knew the trail, yet somehow this time it seemed unfamiliar; All around was desolation, bareness, and emptiness. I was tired of the heat; I cried out to God "Father please come rescue me." He said, "I am right here." He was just waiting for me to ask for help. He gave me water for my thirst, Food for my hungry soul, and he walked on with me. I trust him more now, I know I will never pass this way again.Voir livre
...I write for me// If you're a me like me// I write for you too... After a few years of writing, Gloria began collecting poems and reflections. This is that collection. They depict snapshots of her journey through life and hurt, love and hope; and God's grace through it all. They were written for her, but also for all those who need to read them. She prays these words inspire and encourage.Voir livre
