I believe Poetry has an image problem.

Thoughts?

--Poetry - what images conjur up when you read the word?--


overly earnest young adults in independent coffee shops.
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
Good ones DB

Old guys with white hair, Universities, libraries.

A pity poetry hasn't moved with the times, it seems like a dying artform.
well if it can progress if we make it more lively.

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.
