Hi! My name is Katie. This is my very first post at "blogging" which is all new to me, so please bear with me while I find my feet. I love poetry so many of my posts will include poems. I also love most crafts, books, collecting teddy bears old and new (see some of my huge collection in my sidebar)and plan to write posts about all the above plus the silly things that I get up to @ Home where I live with my two children, dog and cat.
I am starting off with one of my favourite poems which reflects life today

Leisure
WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

What does this poem make you feel about life?
It makes me feel as if life passes us by far too quickly and I'm sure it does!
That's all for now.....
Warmest Wishes
