Nj300Njoki: Promise me no promises, So will I not promise you: Keep we both our liberties, Never false and never true: Let us hold the die uncast, Free to come as free to go: For I cannot know your past, And of mine what can you know?,Christina Rossetti,poetry,
friede: Good morning! Today we explore Christina Rossetti’s influential poem GOBLIN MARKET and the many (and I mean MANY) interpretations of this poem, from Ruskin’s dismissal of it as a “calamity of modern poetry” to the Playboy reprinting in the 1970s & beyond…

Neither I nor you:

The wind is passing thro’
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads
The wind is passing by.

FreddieBlueNOLA: New Orleans Dawn Inspiration a poem of spring by Christina Rossetti.
There is no time like Spring,
When life’s alive in everything,
Before new nestlings sing,
Before cleft swallows speed their journey back
Along the trackless track –
God guides their wing,

AidanMcWhore: When I was 15, one of the English teachers who were doing their practicum at our school saw me reading VC Andrew's Flowers in The Attic.
She asked if I enjoy reading poetry other than novels and I said yes. The next day, she gave me a copy of Christina Rossetti's Goblin Market.

Half sea, half country side;
A flat-shored sea of low-voiced creeping tide
Over a chalky weedy mat.

MBudha: Who Has Seen the Wind?
by Christina Rossetti
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you:
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.

We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?

NYGirl5757: Let Me Go
by Christina Rossetti
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared
Miss me,

PhilKlay: Woke up this morning and read Christina Rossetti’s Goblin Market for the first time and, whoa! That poem is nuts.
I laughed at the very 19th century end where it’s like, “This is just about sisterly love. Nothing weird here at all! Forget what you read!”

He spreads their table that they nothing lack, –

Before the sun has power
To scorch the world up in his noontide hour…"

RiviasHunter: Color
By Christina Rossetti
What is pink? a rose is pink
By a fountain's brink.
What is red? a poppy's red
In its barley bed.
What is blue? the sky is blue
Where the clouds float thro'.
What is white? a swan is white
Sailing in the light. >

MelanieJaxn: "I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,
If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun
And crocus fires are kindling one by one:
Sing robin, sing:
I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring."
- Christina Rossetti

RiviasHunter: A Daughter of Eve
By Christina Rossetti
A fool I was to sleep at noon,
And wake when night is chilly
Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
A fool to pluck my rose too soon,
A fool to snap my lily.
My garden-plot I have not kept;
Faded and all-forsaken, >
doom_delrey: As always, I’m thinking about this sonnet by Christina Rossetti about the woman as muse/image/consumable product

nathankhensley: Last month I asked Chat GPT to define a Petrarchan sonnet, & it did great, it knew the answer!!! Then I asked it to write a Petrarchan sonnet in the style of Christina Rossetti & it spat out 6 quatrains (??) of infantile ABAB garbage that rhymed love with dove twice
peter_quantick: I wrote this anthem for a recent competition. It's about Good Friday and uses a poem by Christina Rossetti. I hope someone will perform it sometime.
welfordwrites: Promises Like Pie-Crust, a poem by Christina Rossetti. The unsaid part of the title – “made to be broken” – is the key to this poem.
smhnshybzk: I saw the most incredible embroidered bindings today. The peacock binding was embroidered in 1894 and it covers a volume of Christina Rossetti’s poems. The second volume is a history of Charles II and the binding was probably embroidered in the 18th century.

larkmorrigan: "A hundred thousand birds salute the day: —
One solitary bird salutes the night:
Its mellow grieving wiles our grief away,
And tunes our weary watches to delight;
It seems to sing the thoughts we cannot say,
To know and sing them, and to set them right;"
- Christina Rossetti
aquotebot: “Kneel, wrestle, knock, do violence, pray;
Today is short, tomorrow nigh:
Why will you die? why will you die?” –Christina Rossetti
MelanieJaxn: I wonder if the sap is stirring yet,
If wintry birds are dreaming of a mate,
If frozen snowdrops feel as yet the sun
And crocus fires are kindling one by one:
Sing robin, sing:
I still am sore in doubt concerning Spring.
-Christina Rossetti
NoelineL: The reference to Christina Rossetti had me reminiscing about her dad, Gabrielle Rossetti, and the beautiful seaside town, Vasto, Italy, where he was born and bred. His statue stands tall in the main piazza, Piazza Rossetti.
Heckitty: I have a pair of spotted thick-knees (Burhinus capensis, aka dikkops, aka Basil and Rosemary) sitting on two eggs in my garden. Today my March lily bloomed + I realised Rosemary had the same fed-up face as Christina Rossetti, painted in a not-dissimilar situation.
