I believe Poetry has an image problem.

Thoughts?

Sunday afternoons when my hubby and daughter are out and about and I can relax on the couch with some tea, Bach and the Bronte sisters.

It just need to be express and explored to be understood.

The classics are best

Mary had a little lamb,
She also had a bear,
I've often seen Mary's little lamb,
But I've never seen her bear.

Old mother Hubbard,
Went to the cupboard,
To get her poor dog a bone,
But when old mother bent over,
Rover drove her, 'cause,
Rover had a bone of his own.

Mary had a little watch,
She kept it in her garter.
And when the boys asked her the time,
She knew what they were after.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall,
All the king's horses, and all the king's men,
Has one fucking big omelet.

The boy stood on the burning deck,
Having a game of cricket,
The ball rolled up his trouser leg,
And hit his 'middle wicket'.

From a mirror tied to a ceiling,
A delectable damsel of Ealing,
Saw certain sights, Which enhanced the delights,
Of the things she was hitherto feeling

A pity poetry hasn't moved with the times, it seems like a dying artform.

Dead Poets Society and this part of the forums are the only things that have reminded me of poetry in the last 20 years. Sad huh.
