ERASERS, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Erasers are the nicest things! Last Line: "and three small words, 'I love you!' / can erase the worst heartaches" Subject(s): Erasers;errors; Mistakes;fallacies | |||
Erasers are the nicest things! Of that there is no doubt. We write wrong words. A few quick swipes -- And big mistakes fade out. And you will find erasers, Of a very different kind, Extremely helpful, if you will try To bear these facts in mind: When you bump someone in a crowd, And almost knock her down, A soft "I'm sorry!" may bring smiles And rub out that old frown. Apologies, invariably, Obliterate mistakes; And three small words, "I love you!" Can erase the worst heartaches. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AGAINST EXCESS OF SEA OR SUN OR REASON by WILLIAM MEREDITH LIVING WITH MISTAKES by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE A MORTIFYING MISTAKE by ANNA MARIA PRATT UNREALITY by MERCEDES DE ACOSTA THE MISTAKE by HARRY RANDOLPH BLYTHE DISILLUSION by GLADYS CROMWELL MUSOPHILUS: DEDICATION TO MASTER FULKE GREVILLE (2) by SAMUEL DANIEL TO DELIA: 46 (2) by SAMUEL DANIEL TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
