First Fig by Edna St. Vincent Millay

My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends --
It gives a lovely light!

    Hi- I love her poetry! I read so many blogger's poems and enjoy them, too. Yet, this is a refreshing reminder of great poetic history.

    Also, I LOVE your blog header. GORGEOUS!

    (I'm an artist who writes poetry. Not sure if I landed on the right blog. I was looking for a reply to a writing prompt, but I'll keep checking. :)
