Robert Service

I have many of his pieces put to memory, including many of the famous ballads he wrote like The Cremation of Sam McGee

My Grandpa used to tell me poems as a kid and it just kinda stuck. I've been writing/memorizing/reciting all my life.

Just keep Ginsberg out of this thread--I think that's fair ground rules.

People will probably say it's cliche or whatever, but I'm a huge Emily Dickinson fan. Much of her stuff is really dark, but she has just as many funny poems as she does sad ones. And most of her poems are pretty short and accessible, for whatever that is worth.

Quote:
I taste a liquor never brewed –
From Tankards scooped in Pearl –
Not all the Frankfort Berries
Yield such an Alcohol!

Inebriate of air – am I –
And Debauchee of Dew –
Reeling – thro' endless summer days –
From inns of molten Blue –

When "Landlords" turn the drunken Bee
Out of the Foxglove's door –
When Butterflies – renounce their "drams" –
I shall but drink the more!

Till Seraphs swing their snowy Hats –
And Saints – to windows run –
To see the Tippler
Leaning against the – Sun!


Quote:
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag today
Can tell the definition,
So clear, of victory

As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break agonized and clear!


Quote:
A wounded deer leaps highest,
I've heard the hunter tell;
'Tis but the ecstasy of death,
And then the brake is still.

The smitten rock that gushes,
The trampled steel that springs:
A cheek is always redder
Just where the hectic stings!

Mirth is mail of anguish,
In which its cautious arm
Lest anybody spy the blood
And, "you're hurt" exclaim



--------------------
After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action.  If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it.  - Ernest Hemingway

If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it.  In the law courts, in business, in government.  There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent.    -Cormac MacCarthy

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.  - Aeschylus

Gaius Valerius Catullus (ca. 84 BC – ca. 54 BC) was a Roman poet of the 1st century BC. His work remains widely studied, and continues to influence poetry and other art.



Catullus 97
(metre: comic anapests)

I'll be damned if I thought that it mattered a bit
if I smelled Emil's mouth or his anus
No more maculate this nor immaculate that;
Yes, I'd label his anus less heinous!
'Cause it's toothless, but sesquipedalian fangs
fill his gob, and his sagging gums flutter.
And his gangrenous grin makes me think of the cunt
of a jenny in rut making water.
So he fucks all the girls and he plays mr. cool,
and he's not mucking mules as a gangman?
Any female who'd touch him, why shouldn't we think
she'd lick ass on a pox-rotten hangman?

If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison

Nice translation.  :handth:

It's good to see people standing up for human nature through the ages of distant Empires. 

People just want to fuck, basically.  Have a home and a family. 

Well done, sir.  Thank you for your contribution.

So bend an ear and hear my tale

And thrust myself right up his backside;
You really should have heard him shout!"

Henry Rollins is kinda funny in an I-take-myself-way-too-seriously way.
Observe:

"I wish I could meet a woman that could
show me something
One who could make my blood stop screaming
It feels good to kill a mosquito
A female that sucks your blood
Smashed against a wall, legs broken

I want to fall in love with a woman
One who loved me
One who could show me I could trust her
One who showed me
That I don't have to be on my guard all the time
Don't touch me
I'll feel too good
I'll fall apart
The only thing holding me together is my pain "

Henry Rollins

hahaha, that's guys a ton of fun I tell ya'.

Here's some modern verse, from Benjamin Zephaniah

Bought and Sold

Smart big awards and prize money
Is killing off black poetry
It's not censors or dictators that are cutting up our art.
The lure of meeting royalty
And touching high society
Is damping creativity and eating at our heart.

The ancestors would turn in graves
Those poor black folk that once were slaves would wonder
How our souls were sold
And check our strategies,
The empire strikes back and waves
Tamed warriors bow on parades
When they have done what they've been told
They get their OBE's.

Don't take my word, go check the verse
Cause every laureate gets worse
A family that you cannot fault as muse will mess your mind,
And yeah, you may fatten your purse
And surely they will check you first when subjects need to be amused
With paid for prose and rhymes.

Take your prize, now write more,
Faster,
Fuck the truth
Now you're an actor do not fault your benefactor
Write, publish and review,
You look like a dreadlocks Rasta,
You look like a ghetto blaster,
But you can't diss your paymaster
And bite the hand that feeds you.

What happened to the verse of fire
Cursing cool the empire
What happened to the soul rebel that Marley had in mind,
This bloodstained, stolen empire rewards you and you conspire,
(Yes Marley said that time will tell)
Now look they've gone and joined.

We keep getting this beating
It's bad history repeating
It reminds me of those capitalists that say
'Look you have a choice,'
It's sick and self-defeating if our dispossessed keep weeping
And we give these awards meaning
But we end up with no voice.

ASJ Tessimond has some cool stuff. kindof a romantic poet. some pretty naturalistic stuff though

Birch Tree

The birch tree in winter
Leaning over the secret pool
Is Narcissus in love
With the slight white branches,
The slim trunk,
In the dark glass;
But,
Spring coming on,
Is afraid,
And scarfs the white limbs
In green.


Black Morning Lovesong

In love's dances, in love's dances
One retreats and one advances,
One grows warmer and one colder,
One more hesitant, one bolder.
One gives what the other needed
Once, or will need, now unheeded.
One is clenched, compact, ingrowing
While the other's melting, flowing.
One is smiling and concealing
While the other's asking kneeling.
One is arguing or sleeping
While the other's weeping, weeping.

And the question finds no answer
And the tune misleads the dancer
And the lost look finds no other
And the lost hand finds no brother
And the word is left unspoken
Till the theme and thread are broken.

When shall these divisions alter?
Echo's answer seems to falter:
'Oh the unperplexed, unvexed time
Next time...one day...one day...next time!'




into a lot of beat poets too of course... keats and yeats and wilde as well, for sure.

Speaking of getting drunk and reading
poetry...(a drunk WILL TALK, there's no
stopping that...)I used to have this sauced
friend who'd come over and we'd read
Nabokov's Pale Fire for hours.

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

-thanks for reminding me jewunit.

Bluebird

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.

Charles Bukowski
