Poetry and stuff...

[druffine]

K, flist , I need your help.

I want to get to know some poetry and the likes but I have no idea where to start with that, I mean I don't even know the children's rhymes and such...

So please, if you have a moment, paste me your favorite poem or one you think I should know into a comment and maybe a few words about it.

Thanks very much.

Oh and finally... it's over.

The title is just "Lady Lazarus", btw; the "print window" bit got in by mistake!

Hm.. Again I am not quite sure what to make out of these two. The rhythm is good and the language overlapping is interessting. I am a fan of German after-ww2-poetry myself but these have kind of an accusing character, not the desillusioned/hopeless feeling I am used too.
It's pretty weird too, maybe because I don't get the methaphors and stuff, though.
