(I had my History of Poetry final today, and this is how I felt. LOL. Anyone who wants to add onto this with a final 'horror' poem of their own is more then welcome. Call it a challenge.) "To the Virgins Make Much Ado?" Nothing but Shakespeare and Emerson too, Colridge and Shelley; Housman and Poe, "Of Life in a Raven?" Was that Thoreau? Donne, Milton, Virgil, "Batter my Knee!" Tells of Beelzebub, and his voyage at sea! No wait that's Aeneas! and Paradise lost, "Tiger and Ice." Was that Blake or Frost? Good God! I'm lost! ...Daysleeper... "We prefer to do things comfortably" said the Controller. "But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin." "In fact," said Mustapha Mond, "you're claiming the right to be unhappy." "Alright then," said the Savage defiantly, "I'm claiming the right to be unhappy." -Aldous Huxley "Brave New World" |

Daysleeper: I really like this one. It's so laid back  ~AF~ "Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement." Christopher Fry |

i like this little poem you got here. Seems like it took a little thought. Very creative the way you stuck all those poets and poem titles together. There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line. -- Oscar Levant Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats. -- Howard Aiken |
