Doris Lessing

Anyone here ever read her? Any of those she might classify as science fiction?
Golden Notebook?

Too much literature and I have to catch up!!!

Because boyo is ill

And Mr. Fry has more poetry than I.
And he has one for a Bruno, because Brunos live right around the corner from the Anacreonic Society, in our London.

From his chapter on poetry of Classical origins: Anacreontics

Syllabically it's seven
Thematically it's heaven
Little lines to celebrate
Wine and love and all that's great.
Life is fleeting, death can wait,
Trochees bounces along with zest
Telling us that Pleasure's best.
Dithyrambic measures traipse,
Pressing flesh and pressing grapes.
Fill my glass and squeeze my thighs,
Hedonism takes the prize.
Broach the bottle, time to pour!
Cupid's darts and Bacchus' juice
Use your magic to produce
Something humans can enjoy.
Grab a girl, embrace a boy,
Strum your lyre and hum this tune--
Life's too quick and death's too soon.

7 syllable trochaic tetrameter (dropping the last slack syllable in the line)--or sometimes full trochees in 8 syllables---but it must be about living life to the fullest, that's the most important!
