Inspiration for the New Year

Humpty Dumpty sat on a Wall.

Humpty Dumpty had a Great Fall.

Humpty Dumpty wasn’t so Humpty Dumpty.

Original poetry from myself–no need to thank me. It’s so profound, I had to share it. Feel free to add to it in the comments.

  1. I met a traveler from an antique land

    Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

    Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,

    Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

    The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:

    And on the pedestal these words appear:

    “My name is Dumpty, king of kings:

    Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”

    Nothing besides remains, Round the decay

    Of that colossal shell, boundless and bare

    The lone and level sands stretch far away.
