poetry

[chronovore]

I think it's very strange that, as enamored as I am with language, I dislike poetry. This is not in the sense that I avoid bad LJ poetry; any sentient being with half-a-lobe devoted to self preservation will do that. I mean, I don't even like Robert Frost, Dylan Thomas, Yeats... I mean, I can't even get through The Wastelands, as much as I am of the impression that I'd "level up" culturally if I could navigate it. About the only poet I can deal with is Dorothy Parker. What the hell does that say about me?

Someday I will; and afterward, if I am inspired to embark on an epic work, as so many others have been influenced to do by The Waste Lands, I will curb my enthusiasm and bust out a kazoo.
