My Winter Verses

By: Dorothy Parker
  • Summary

  • Welcome to my show! My collections are inspired by Norwegian poetry as these lack rhyme and rhythm. Though without rhythm, these verses are lovely to read aloud. Enjoy.

  • I'm a Norwegian, What's Your Superpower
    Sep 14 2021

    I'm a Norwegian, what's your superpower?

    Love me as a thing of strength.

    Love me for my earnest care,

    But think not for my wretched need.

    Leave me here for bread and place—

    Where sorrow and hope may roam.

    Another evil home, the fairest home

    Enjoyed the doom of our wretched toil.

  • I'm a Norwegian, I Solve Problems You Don't Know You Have
    Sep 14 2021

    I'm a Norwegian, I solve problems you don't know you have

    Lets you not quail like a woman.

    She sont you after the wealth of trouble

    So that your soul can cheer her in distress,

    With a smile in your joy and her despair,

    She turned from your home and kissed her fail.

    Once you were her whistle of the air.

    And she turned from your soul to the drear.

  • I'm a Norwegian, I'm Always Right
    Sep 14 2021

    I'm a Norwegian, I'm always right

    No one on fur of the winter's night

    Turns night to dawn, and bears the snow.

    December holds its way in song.

    We have to sing the silent life of youth,

    Making the song of our hearts a winging,

    Softly the song of your lady sings!

    You are the silent angels in the autumn wood.
