Abby and William Poetry Comparison by William Sims https://padlet.com/10013/ax5h990yffh7 Made with a dash of wit en-us 2017-02-23 19:40:10 UTC 2025-09-26 13:26:52 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Ornamenttree.png Watch repair https://padlet.com/10013/ax5h990yffh7/wish/155884000 A small wheel 
Incandescent, 
Shivering like 
A pinned butterfly. 

Hands thrown up 
In all directions: 
The crossroads 
One arrives at 
In a nightmare. 

Higher than that 
Number 12 presides 
Like a beekeeper 
Over the swarming honeycomb 
Of the open watch. 

Other wheels 
That could fit 
Inside a raindrop. 

Tools 
That must be splinters 
Of arctic starlight. 

Tiny golden mills 
Grinding invisible 
Coffee beans. 

When the coffee’s boiling 
Cautiously, 
So it doesn’t burn us, 
We raise it 
To the lips 
Of the nearest 
Ear.

To see me hold my louring head so low, 
And that mine eyes take no delight to range 
About the gleams which on your face do grow. 
The mouse which once hath broken out of trap 
Is seldom ’ticèd with the trustless bait, 
But lies aloof for fear of more mishap, 
And feedeth still in doubt of deep deceit. 
The scorchèd fly, which once hath ’scaped the flame, 
Will hardly come to play again with fire, 
Whereby I learn that grievous is the game 
Which follows fancy dazzled by desire: 
So that I wink or else hold down my head, 
Because your blazing eyes my bale have bred.

- The fire beats the fly
- The mouse is defeated by the  created trap.
- The bees are contained for the honey they make.
- The natural coffee beans are processed and broken down by the industrial mills.]]> 2017-02-27 15:22:20 UTC https://padlet.com/10013/ax5h990yffh7/wish/156437162 mood https://padlet.com/10013/ax5h990yffh7/wish/156440306 These two poem are very vague and not centered on a certain character or idea. They are told with deep meaning and thought. They keep the reader of balance and never specifically directs where the story is going. ]]> 2017-02-27 15:29:12 UTC https://padlet.com/10013/ax5h990yffh7/wish/156440306
