Goldilocks ;)

The poem I found that is too easy for me is called "A Pair of Potatoes Were Talking" by Kenn Nesbitt. It's too easy for me obviously because it's written for little kids. I can understand all of the words.

A pair of potatoes were talking, 
discussing what might be for lunch. 
One turned to the other and told him, 
"I think that I might have a hunch. 
As long as we stay near the kitchen 
and don't wander too far afield, 
I'm sure that we'll see what they're serving. 
We just have to keep our eyes peeled."

The hardest poem I saw was called "Elegy in a Spider's Web " by Laura (Riding) Jackson.
It is too hard for me because-well, look at it!


"What to say when the spider 
Say when the spider what 
When the spider the spider what 
The spider does what 
Does does dies does it not 
Not live and then not 
Legs legs then one 
When the spider does dies 
Death spider death 
Or not the spider or 
What to say when 
To say always 
Death always 
The dying of always 
Or alive or dead 
What to say when I 
When I or the spider 
No I and I what 
Does what does dies 
No when the spider dies 
Death spider death 
Death always I 
Death before always 
Dead or alive 
Now and always 
What to say always 
Now and always 
What to say now 
Now when the spider 
What does the spider

Dies when then when 
Then always death always 
The dying of always 
Always now I 
What to say when I

Dead spider no matter 
How thorough death

Death spider death 
The genii who cannot cease to know 
What to say when the spider 
When I say 
When I or the spider 
Dead or alive the dying of 
Who cannot cease to know 
Who death who I 
The spider who when

Oh pity poor pretty 
How thorough life love

The knowing of always 
Who these this space 
Before after here 
Life now my face 
The face love the 
The legs real when 
What time death always 
What to say then 
What time the spider" 

Lastly, the poem that is right for me is called "Why am I Thinking of You?" (No author cited.) I understand it well, it doesn't take too much thinking, nor too little. The words just make sense to me.

Your eyes and your smile shine on me
But I am a stranger you only see
From time to time in an unchosen place
Your voice has a lilt that interests my ears
And though I have you by a few years
I could answer your song if not your grace
 
Your impish smile and your shining eyes
Are in themselves enough to hypnotize
Me so that I forget being slightly gray
But soon I'll be leaving for another State
And I'll be a fool if my heart won't wait
Though what tomorrow will bring, I can't say
 
So, why am I thinking of you
If that will only leave me blue
And not the blue of jasmine scented skies?
For though my heart longs for the chance
To reacquaint itself with the glories of romance
Perhaps I should forget your lovely shining eyes
