Where have all the poets gone? by ~silent-fire:iconsilent-fire:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Satire > Open


Sanity where art thou?
Fare-thee-well as you drift into the morrow.
It seems poets will always steal...(nay! To borrow!),
from others - more original ideas.

Literature where art thou now?
As sequential works of Sappho lie; laying about,
in dust filled attics -
These children know not the sublties of semantics.

I'll tell thee where our works have gone,
Standing, aloft a well-worn soap box -
heart don't fail me now.
Yet then, that is just allegory.
I suppose all poems are.

Waha! Very nice! Coming from a poet that likes to take trite ideas and breathe new life into them, I can most definitely appreciate that the mundane "God hates me, Mom hates me, I hate me, look I'm bleeding" is hated by at least ONE other poet on here!

Besides, there are lots of really bad poetry out there that's just imitations of good poetry, like you deftly pointed out -- I lost count of how many Dickinson wannabes I've seen.

Very nice! I like it a lot. Yes. :+fav:!

this is really nice. it has that classic feel to it. not too many poets can write like that nowadays. now all i hear is "my life sucks, i want to die, i'm so lonely, everyone hates me, i cut myself at night sitting in a dark corner with candles burning all around me". that kinda shit irritates me. this is really lovely. sorry about going off on a tangent like that, lol
