feel free to post poems, quotes, etc which were written by the lady.

i'll start with a very short song.

once, when i was young and true
someone left me sad -
broke my brittle heart in two;
and that is very bad.

love is for unlucky folk,
love is but a curse.
once there was a heart i broke;
and that, i think, is worse.

Sanctuary

My land is bar of chattering folk;
The clouds are low along the ridges,
And sweet's the air with curly smoke
From all my burning bridges.

Autumn Valentine
In May my heart was breaking -
Oh, wide the wound and deep!
And bitter it beat at waking,
And sore it split in sleep.

And when it came November,
I sought my heart and sighed,
"Poor thing do you remember?"
"What heart was that?" it cried.


I love Dorothy Parker

Superfluous Advice

Should they whisper false of you,


Never trouble to deny;

Should the words they say be true,

Weep and storm and swear they lie.
