Why do you stare at them?Give them me.No.Give them me. Give them me.No.Then I will howl all night in the reeds,Lie in the mud and howl for them.Goblin, why do you love them so?They are better than stars or water,Better than voices of winds that sing,Better than any man's fair daughter,Your green glass beads on a silver ring.Hush, I stole them out of the moon.Give me your beads, I want them.No.I will howl in the deep lagoonFor your green glass beads, I love them so.Give them me. Give them.No.","author":"Harold Monro","tags":["beads","beauty","desire","goblin","nymph","possession"],"id":262277,"author_id":"Harold+Monro"},{"text":"THE OLD MAN IN THE CORNERThe man in the cornerIs dying with wordsHe's crying to be heardHis days are markedAnd his only ears are birdsHe knows the secret to peaceAnd his experience bleeds and hurtsSomebody stop and listenBefore he departs the earth!Somebody write his thoughtsBefore he hits the turf!His eyes are closing their shuttersAnd he just dropped hisBeads and stick.His breath is leaving us.Please!Somebody hear him out quick!A little girl rushes to him andPicks up his cane of wood.The old man then turns to herAnd faintly whispers,'The key to peace isTo always stay fairAnd be good.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["bad","beads","birds","bleeds","cane","days","death","depart","dying","ears","earth","experience","fair","fairness","girl","good","hurts","inspirational","justice","life","listen","marked","old","old-man","peace","poetry","secret","stick","stop","thoughts","whispers","wisdom","world-peace","write"],"id":311843,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":3,"pages":1}}
