The Problem with Poetry

... is one of the sublime tools of romance. After all, the poetry in Dead Poet’s Society was only secondarily used to inspire young men to greatness. Its primary use was in wooing young ladies. Poems have been long renowned for their ability to make women swoon, and it’s much harder to appear sensitive and loving when one can’t properly scribe a verse. Poetry-writing skills remain, like guitar-...

Hi ^_^

...I like tennis, shooting, Taekwondo, and I hope to be able to play the bass or drums one day. I usually get well with guys, but I get along with anyone really and while I do write a lot of poems, stories, and articles, I really suck at writing "About me"s so that's me for you :D Music: Everything, but to be specific, I mainly like Rock (all types of rock). Bands: Retrospect (Thai), Sweet Mullet,...

5 things Hotch has learned about Reid

... he was five years old with a cup of herbal tea (plenty of milk and sugar) and play like he was living in 1892. You know, turn off all the lights and light candles, cuddle up with Hotch and whisper poems he had read as a kid. Reid loved misty days because they made him feel closed off from the world, and he would put on his pajamas and those adorable glasses, tie his hair back and, for once, act ...

SOP

... on the Dean’s Honour List. I wrote my Honours Thesis on the language of Marianne Moore, and the ways in which her copious idiom hides and then continually re-frames the meaning of her poems. Continuing my education, I hope to further my understanding of the modernist period by researching on modern cities and their relation to the body and self in modernist works. I have already done previous ...

who'd have thought art history could be the most depressing class ever?

...and stuff, but I guess since I grew up in an environmentalist family of park rangers, I got used to those issues. Granted, I might not have been as stressed out. And I did cry when I read the Gary Snyder poems. But my friend Melissa got really upset by the whole thing, and i felt bad for not getting that upset. I guess it's my turn now. I was doing fine until I got to Van Gogh and Gauguin. Well, ...

Кладбище

На окованных оградах наших трепетных жизней Засиделась что-то стая черных воронов греха Наши души ежедневно подвергаются тризне Мы твердим себе упорно: покаянье – чепуха. Добродетельности нашей слишком редкие снежинки Укрывают в самом сердце застарелые шрамы Все эмоции разумно подготовлены к поминкам, Замещаясь равнодушьем. Счет на миллиграммы. А под камнем нашей ноши, обнимающей за ...

24 Poems

Over at my poems blog , you'll see I made it to 24 poems in November, six poems off the hoped-for poem-a-day pace. I think I'll keep writing, at least until I get to 30 poems. And maybe I'll keep the habit going. I think it's been good, even if not all the poems have been good.

Poem of the day

Sailing to Byzantium W. B. Yeats, 1927 I That is no country for old men. The young In one another's arms, birds in the trees --Those dying generations -- at their song, The salmon-falls, the mackerel-crowded seas, Fish, flesh, or fowl, commend all summer long Whatever is begotten, born, and dies. Caught in that sensual music all neglect Monuments of unageing intellect. II An aged man is ...
