I don't think there has been one for Favorite Poet/poems and if there has we can always use another.I really like < Allen Ginsburg's Howl > and < John Keats > had a cool life and wrote some good stuff before he died at 24. ------------------ Posted by miNus on Jul. 23 2001,11:32
< If > by Rudyard Kipling is my favorite poem, and my favorite poet would have to be... Shakespeare.

Dylan Thomas. And Shakespeare, of course.

"The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe.That poem 0wnz. And for a poem to 0wn, it's gotta be fucking amazing. Posted by Vigilante on Jul. 23 2001,19:59
Once again, Stomper calls it like it is.I'm also partial to Poe's Annabel Lee. Posted by Dark Knight Bob on Jul. 23 2001,20:32
pam ayres is some fubar poet ------------------ Posted by shifter on Jul. 23 2001,21:04
I'm not a big fan of romantic poetry and all of that. Sort of boring. I find prime-time media broadcast live-via-sattelite in true-to-life-color to be much more exciting.

I don't have a favorite poet or poem really. I like deep stuff that you have to read a few times to understand. You know, the kind you can sit back and reflect on.

I'm with Stomper and Vigilante on this one. Poe just kicks ass.------------------ Posted by damien_s_lucifer on Jul. 25 2001,04:50
Mine would have to be < The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. > Here is a sample :

More or less the only poetry is something I or someone I know writes. I don't know why that is, but if I had to pick someone known I guess it would be (can we pick song writers?) Paul Simon.Anyhow, here is something of mine, enjoy. A silent strum, muted by the coy, And still I sit, alone and tired, Alone and tired, I sit at wit's end, Still sitting here, alone, so far I return again, that hand still ------------------ Posted by Pickle Therapy Lady on Jul. 26 2001,23:21
DAMN THIS THREAD!!! Robert Frost...my absolute fave. Then I had to look through some to find a favorite poem/short story and damn if I didn't get sucked in! I think Birches, Barn Burning, and The Road Less Traveled are my original favorites but I just finished re-reading Mending Wall and that was fitting for my current state of mind so I am currently taking partiality to that 1. Damn this lit topic. *rubbing hands together greedily* |
