Valentine is by who
Carol Ann Duffy
Valentines quotes
I give you an onion
like the careful undressing of love
it will blind you with tears
not a cute card or a kissogram
its fierce kiss will stay on your lips
A wife in London is by who 
Thomas Hardy
A wife in London quotes
She sits in the tawny vapour
a messengers knock cracks smartly
he-has fallen- in the far south land
His hand whom the worm now knows
And of new love that they would learn
The soldier is by who
Rupert Brooke
The soldier quotes
If I should die, think only this of me
that is forever England
all evil shed away
at peace, under an English heaven
mametz wood is by who
Owen sheers
Mametz wood quotes
The farmers found them-the wastes young
the China plate of a shoulder blade
and even now the Earth stand sentinel
their skeletons paused mid dance-macabre
as if the notes they had sung
Sonnet 43 is by who
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Sonnet 43 quotes
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
to the depth and breadth and height
with my childhoods faith
with the breath, smiles, tears of all my life
better after death
Death of a naturalist is by who
Seamus heaney
Death of a naturalist quotes
Festered in the heart
gargled delicately
the fattening dots burst into nimble-swimming tadpoles
I sickened,turned, and ran
that if I dipped my hand the spawn would clutch it
