It Cannot Be The Teapots

She is in love with the beautiful formlessness of the sea (Sylvia Plath)       [F ]

And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking       [(trad) ]

And hand in hand on the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the moon       [N ]

The moonlight crumbled to degenerate forms (Wallace Stevens)       [F ]

On the Ning Nang Nong       [Olson Blip ]

They are more like stone than the sea would be if it stopped (Anne Sexton)       [F ]

There is more than glass between the snow and the huge roses (Louis MacNeice)       [dkb ]

I have measured out my life with coffee spoons (T.S. Eliot)       [F ]

Look if you like, but you will have to leap (W. H. Auden)       [dkb ]

Where the cows go Bong!       [(trad) ]
