Phoebe Cary ( 1824 -July 31 ,1871) American poet

WHEN LOVELY WOMAN
WHEN lovely woman wants a favor,
And finds, too late, that man won't bend,
What earthly circumstance can save her
From disappointment in the end?

The only way to bring him over
The last experiment to try,
Whether a husband or a lover,
If he have feeling, is, to cry!

George Charles Manner , (1947-2010), US poet
Blue
To be, what?, six or seven and approaching
your mother's seersucker wrap-around skirt
in the absolute quiet of your concentration
over a question that has just nudged you away
from play (Why is the sky blue?); to reach her
and tug; to look up into her blue eyes and ask;
to get no answer but, at the same time, to know
you are loved. To have your son and daughter
come up behind you and tug; to turn and look
down into their eyes as they ask you why
you look so blue; to kneel on one knee and gather
them in your arms, holding them so close they
can't see you; to feed them some nonsense that,
because they are wise, they accept; to have them
turn away, walk away, convinced that you
love them. To have your father, old now,
look up from his hospital bed, searching
your brown eyes for the light blue lines
of his long-dead wife's seersucker skirt;
to tell him the only thing you can
by turning away.

Bonus Poem:
Oneata

A hilltop sought by every soothing breeze
That loves the melody of murmuring boughs,
Cool shades, green acreage, and antique house
Fronting the ocean and the dawn; than these
Old monks built never for the spirit's ease
Cloisters more calm—not Cluny nor Clairvaux;
Sweet are the noises from the bay below,
And cuckoos calling in the tulip-trees.
Here, a yet empty suitor in thy train,
Beloved Poesy, great joy was mine
To while a listless spell of summer days,
Happier than hoarder in each evening's gain,
When evenings found me richer by one line,
One verse well turned, or serviceable phrase.
by Alan Seeger
