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.

Oh I have a quote by Ezra Pound in my purse, it goes along the lines of:
If a man isn't ready to stand up for his convictions, either he or his convictions are not worse it.
(I guess it's a pretty bad translation.)

Somewhere on someone's journal (could have been yours) at the side I saw "Funeral Blues" by W.H.Auden and immediately printed it out, I love that one.

And I will check out the links you provided, thank you.

Hehe.

I hope you find the links helpful - i love all that stuff.

And no, i didn't post that poem, but it's very well known.

*smooch*
