Laura Poems

Here be some random 'Laura' poetry for a cheer up:

Laura
Valerie Agnew

Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
Little Laura is here
only because she must.

She just couldn't handle it
god wanted her safe
to be next to him
is her tiny place.

Like the one in my heart
that she will always hold
for sweet little Laura
died when not very old.

Hmmmm....that did not cheer me what so ever...let's try something else....

Laura
Thomas Campion

ROSE-CHEEK'D Laura, come;
Sing thou smoothly with thy beauty's
Silent music, either other
Sweetly gracing.

Lovely forms do flow
From concent divinely framed:
Heaven is music, and thy beauty's
Birth is heavenly.

These dull notes we sing
Discords need for helps to grace them;
Only beauty purely loving
Knows no discord;

But still moves delight,
Like clear springs renew'd by flowing,
Ever perfect, ever in them-selves eternal.

...well, nothing beats Petrarch's Laura...
