This is the result of a writing project where we took 20 lines from famous poems and turned them into one poem that made sense. None of the lines are my own words, but I configured them as I saw fit. If it's bad, that's ok, I was trying to work with what I had. ;D Enjoy! Bonus for you if you can guess what some of the poems are that I dug through for lines.
We love the things we love for what they are
Something there is that doesn't love a wall
And he said, "Why not?"
I thought of questions that have no reply
It is curiously true
How often I have blest this coming day.
Only this and nothing more
A silence you could almost hear
Banished with bacon and beans.
I saw the strange position of his hands
"My name is Ozymandius, king of kings,"
The angel wrote; and vanished.
Go and catch a falling star
One, if by land, and two, if by sea,
Yet do not; I would not go.
But the queerest they ever did see
The incalculable sadness
Whether they work together or apart.
Now they say we've lived our last
Dig the grave and let me lie.
A Medley
We love the things we love for what they are

Only this and nothing more
A silence you could almost hear

But the queerest they ever did see
