She'd be a RIP...ooh, that wacky Maggie Atwood! She'd be a RIP at a party, wouldn't she? Oh man, now I kinda remember that poem! It made me cringe the whole way through, but isn't that what decent 'art' is supposed to do? <br /><br />I too remember our teacher reading the Dylan Thomas poem the way it was meant to be read. It made quite an impression on me. I liked the Romantic poets when I was learning them in 19th century lit: Tennyson, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Christina Rosetti...etc. One of my favourite poems of all is Mariana In The Moated Grange by Tennyson. <br />Have you read any Sylvia Plath? Or Emily Dickinson? <br /><br />Here's a goody: http://www.poetryarchive.org/poetryarchive/singlePoem.do?poemId=8670<br /><br />I'm nutty for the poetry. I could go on and on. One day my diskette effed itself, and could no longer be read. Tons of poems I'd written were on there. Luckily they're still here, there and everywhere, on little scraps of paper. I even had a poem published in Poetry Canada, which was a highlight! Then my Mom died and I am incapable of writing it any longer for some reason.karensomethingorotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476544335741075497noreply@blogger.com
