DH Lawrence wrote

three of the best poems in English.
In his two-volume
Collected Poems (1928)
the second part
was of verses unrhymed,

some of them refreshingly short
- just three or four lines;
some of them soppy,
others refreshingly
worse than my blogs.

I can find only one on the web*
- but I have sent off for a second-hand copy
of the abovementioned collection.












* NOTE: The oft-quoted lines about the non-connection
of a bird to self-pity are only half of a longer poem.
