Poetry - An Ode For Your Love
When you and your loved one reach a certain stage,
You hope to forever remain engaged.
You’ve received the jewellery and top notch perfume,
You’d better return the favour…and soon.
You’ve exchanged words and gifts galore,
But now it’s time for something more.
Something special and warm like him,
Which doesn’t come from a tin.
So what can you buy, let’s make a list,
You could get him some smelly’s,
Which are hard to resist.
Or something snazzier a little bit posh,
You could go for a meal,
And order a scrumptious Rogan josh!
But a meal can be had three times a day,
And what you’re looking for,
May only be found in pray.
Let’s rule out the meal,
It’s not very special,
And think about how he’s going to feel.
I know, I’ve got it,
This must be the one,
You could get him a puppy,
But would he really want one?
This is no good, we need some ideas,
What will he want that’s not paper or scissors?
Don’t get him chocolates whatever the case,
We don’t want him putting weight on in the face!
Slim and good looking is how you like him,
Any fatter or uglier, you may have to dump him!
Let’s change the subject and get back on track,
Before my headache begins to crack.
Instead of your gown it is you I want beside me,
It’s only with you that I can be set free.
Without my wife by my side I feel out of place,
When I close my eyes I think of you and see your face.
Which island to choose, with so much choice,
They all look great, I need a helping voice!
Someone to tell me which to book,
Is there a travel agent here who could take a quick look?
I think I’ll narrow it down to two,
Corfu or Crete,
It’s down to you!
Corfu is stunning without a doubt,
But is it really full of lager louts?
I’ve heard good things I hope are true,
So as for Corfu…it might be you!
Williams pleads with his wife to listen to him and offer forgiveness as he says at the end of book 1:
“Hear me out
for I too am concerned
and every man
who wants to die at peace in his bed
besides.”
In looking at William Carlos Williams writing of the Asphodel, it is revealing to see how age and the nearness of death caused his poetry to change. In his early years, Williams was a follower of Objectivism, writing poems in which the objects spoke for themselves and in which his energy was invested in describing the scene at hand. However, after suffering from strokes and a heart attack, Williams feared that he would go to the grave with all of his feelings kept secret and so, his poetry changed to reflect the confessional style of poetry. This is clear in “Of Asphodel, That Greeny Flower” where Williams writes a love letter and apology to his wife
