samsomI've recently run across two very different poems, ones I haven't read in a long time but the fragments of which floated around the back of my unconscious for years.
The first is long, several verses and I've been listening to Loreena McKeenitt sing it on my iPod, falling more and more in love with it with every play.
The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes
http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~trent/ochs/lyrics/highwayman-orig.html
V & VI are my favorite verses, plus the last four. I just adore the repetition of certain words and phrases, and of course, it's a great story. Very tragic.
The second is The Look by Sara Teasdale. I think I read this the one and only time before today when I was about twelve or thirteen. It dug its way down into my pysche and influenced a lot of what I try and write - the unspoken, the subtext, between two people. I don't always succeed, if ever, but I try. I found it today thanks to the miracle of Google.

If anyone is so inclined, what words are you grooving on currently, have grooved on?

I can't remember which. Angel's crouched feral pose is from a scene in BtVS s3, Beauty and the Beasts. Right after Buffy finds a wild Angel running around the woods in Sunnydale - along with wolf!Oz and the bad guy of the week (man, them woods was crowded!) - she takes him back to his mansion and chains him up against a wall.
It's one of my favorites. Well. Okay. They're all my favorites, but this one is especially well done.

The scene in my icon is from s4. I can't remember the name because I do what I can to block out most of season 4, but it's an episode where Lilah lures everyone out of the Hyperion by attacking Connor and Cordelia. Cordelia was doing an incredibly good job of fighting off the ninjas until one knocks her a good one on the noggin and start dragging her out of the room. Angel busted in, kicked the ninjas away, and grabbed Cordelia while she was falling. Then he sets her down on a comfy chair and begins to whale on the rest of the gang while Lorne gets his brain sucked by Lilah's henchmen.
My memory's fuzzy so if any wants to correct me, feel free.
