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.

Okay, I know this is an old post, and I'm gonna shamelessly pimp myself, but to actually have someone say 'I want to read some poetry', makes my heart sing... I have found that people tend to shy away from reading poetry, even when it is set in a fandom!!

My original poetry can be found HERE, and my drabble poetry can be found HERE

I hope your interest in poetry is still alive, and I definitely recommend Shakespeare, not everyone's cup of tea, but the old style language gives me shivers... and I got to see James Marsters play MacBeth twice in the same day!! At the matinee performance I was on the front row, right near centre stage, like 6 foot away from James!! *melts at the memory* and he was a real lusty MacBeth too, kissing up his Lady's arms, before kissing her mouth (with tongue!!) and yes I was close enough to say there was definitely tongue!! And we got to see a nice bit of stomach when he was throwing his arms around when he was getting passionate during one of his speeches too *sighs*
