To A Poet, Who Would Have Me Praise Certain Bad Poets, Imitators Of His And Mine
by William Butler Yeats

In praise of what another's said or sung,
'Twere politic to do the like by these;
But was there ever dog that praised his fleas?

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman giving all your love to just one man.

The white cock's tail
Tosses in the wind.
The turkey-cock's tail
Glitters in the sun.
Water in the fields.
The wind pours down.
The feathers flare
And bluster in the wind.
Remus, blow your horn!
