Poetry and its Meme

smashsc had this on her journal, so I am yoinking it over to mine. You put a poem (or lines from a poem) in your journal. Comment, or take the idea.

First off, poetry is a tricky one with me. Most moden poetry comes off contrived IMO. After the early 70s, haven't been many poets I've gotten, outside of the music world. My two favorite modern poets are Langston Hughes and Gary Snyder. Simple, evocative, and they speak to something in me.

If you need to blame someone, start with chantal87 who pointed out the bad fic. Unintentional bad fic. Spuffy AU (which isn't a bad thing) where the metaphors and similies come cheap. crazydiamondsue and I have been spamming each other's e-mail with laughter, and now I BRING IT TO YOU.
