A Little Called Pauline by Gertrude Stein   A little called anything shows shudders. Come and say what prints all day. A whole few watermelon. There is no pope. No cut in pennies and little dressing and choose wide     soles and little spats really little spices. A little lace makes boils. This is not true. Gracious of gracious and a stamp a blue green white     bow a blue green lean, lean on the top. If it is absurd then it is leadish and nearly set in     where there is a tight head. A peaceful life to arise her, noon and moon and     moon. A letter a cold sleeve a blanket a shaving     house and nearly the best and regular window. Nearer in fairy sea, nearer and farther, show white     has lime in sight, show a stitch of ten. Count, count     more so that thicker and thicker is leaning. I hope she has her cow. Bidding a wedding, widening     received treading, little leading mention nothing. Cough out cough out in the leather and really feather     it is not for. Please could, please could, jam it not plus more sit     in when. Today's poem is in the public domain. About this Poem: Stein's home, 27 rue de Fleurus, was a gathering spot for many young artists and writers including Henri Matisse, Ezra Pound, Pablo Picasso, Max Jacob, and Guillaume Apollinaire. Sherwood Anderson wrote that her writing "consists in a rebuilding, and entire new recasting of life, in the city of words."   Gertrude Stein was born on February 3, 1874. Today is her birthday.  Poetry by Stein Tender Buttons Poem-A-Day started as a National Poetry Month program in 2006, delivering daily poems from newly-published poetry titles.   Due to popular demand, Poem-A-Day became a year-round program in 2010, featuring original, never-before-published poems by contemporary poets on weekdays, and classic poems on weekends.   Browse the Poem-A-Day archive for selections since 2010.  Thanks for being a part of the Academy of American Poets community.
