Poet Laureate

The Queen opened a thing today
Nobody saw

There was a great parade I'm told
Nobody heard

The nation won a great award
Nobody said

So with great skill and craftsmanship
With public money spent
He'll speak of where you do not care
and who it was that went

 

Heh, I like this a lot.

 

Ooh that's good

 

ta

 

Write another one I liked it too...

 

lol thanks.
I've nothing much new at the moment.
But if you're halfway mad enough to read them, There are lots of my old ones on my website.

Assume the standard disclaimer about my opinions on my own poetry

 

I really like those theyre funny...I love the wordsmith one.. youre talented I think..very good...

 

Aww! I have to cycle to work carrying this ego y'know, we don't want it getting any bigger

Glad you liked them

 

All great poets never believed they were that good.....

 

lol it's not so much that I don't like what I write, it's just far removed from what I class as really great poetry.

I write amusing verse, but my stuff is to poetry what the spud gun is to a kalashnikov.

The stuff I really love is things like the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, or Shakespeare's sonnets, or the early work of Donne.

That stuff leaves burn-marks in the soul
Mine leaves holes in socks maybe.

They're just different creatures if ya get where I'm coming from.

 

I do and I agree, but compliment never hurt encouragement..I myself love Rimbaud..Hes very raw and real...
