Super User Root beer Posted February 16, 2009 Super User Posted February 16, 2009 Writing about poetry sucks! I picked this poem, because it was about death and that how I feel when I got to write about poetry or any paper in general. I nearly turn that in to my professor. :-[ :-[ Quote

Super User Long Mike Posted February 16, 2009 Super User Posted February 16, 2009 ODE TO TEENS Young men do try to demean those things they've never seen and places they've never been. They know they are ignorant. That's why they're belligerent. But then as time passes they notice young lasses with their cute little passes. Of those young ladies you now dream of those things you've never seen and those places you've never been. Quote

Super User Bassn Blvd Posted February 16, 2009 Super User Posted February 16, 2009 Give poetry a chance. I took it in college and at first I thought I would hate it. I was fortunate to get a good professor who went above and beyond teaching it. It turned out to be my favorite class. Quote

What the heck do I care? I mean I don't want hurt people feelings that do love poetry, but it just not for me. That all I'm saying. The only poetry I like are music, but I don't want to write a paper on it. Reason is...I feel I'm more productive doing other things rather then writing papers on poetry. All I'm saying. Quote
farmpond1 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 My contribution to this thread: Eric the half a bee (by Monty Python) A one... two-- A one... two... three... four... Half a bee, philosophically, Must, ipso facto, half not be. But half the bee has got to be Vis a vis, its entity. D'you see? But can a bee be said to be Or not to be an entire bee When half the bee is not a bee Due to some ancient injury? Singing... La dee dee, one two three, Eric the half a bee. A B C D E F G, Eric the half a bee. Is this wretched demi-bee, Half-asleep upon my knee, Some freak from a menagerie? No! It's Eric the half a bee! Fiddle de dum, Fiddle de dee, Eric the half a bee. Ho ho ho, tee hee hee, Eric the half a bee. I love this hive, employee-ee, Bisected accidentally, One summer afternoon by me, I love him carnally. He loves him carnally, Semi-carnally. The end. Cyril Connelly? No; semi-carnally! Oh. Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 18, 2009 Super User Posted February 18, 2009 Poetry is retarded. Songs are poetry. Metallica plays songs. Therefore, using Dave's logic, Metallica is retarded. ;D ;D ;D Quote

daviscw Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 Here is an actual poem we studied last week in American Literature. The Red Wheelbarrow so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens Hmmm.... What the F kind of poem is this? Yeah, I have no idea. Quote
dallas0996 Posted February 19, 2009 Posted February 19, 2009 check out some Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Kubla Khan, Ryme of the Ancient Mariner) or Whitman or ee cummings some of that stuff is really cool Rush and Iron Maiden both did kick *** songs based on Coleridge poems (see above) and Whitman is totally a "man's" poet as is Longfellow ee cummings just wrote some really cool alliteratives Quote
Super User Muddy Posted February 19, 2009 Super User Posted February 19, 2009 Looks like a Westernization of Haiku. Every Course we take does not have to equal a dollar value on the outside. Classic Western Study turns out well rounded students You will be surprised how much there is to learn how we think through the poets and great writers of the past. From Keats to Joyce and Frost and beyond there is an inedible amount of literature that explains how we got here. Which is important for figuring out where we need to go Unless of course you fellas think anything old is not worth studying and if you think every course has to support your major and should be job related.

Super User Root beer Posted February 19, 2009 Author Super User Posted February 19, 2009 Unless of course you fellas think anything old is not worth studying and if you think every course has to support your major and should be job related. Exactly my belief. Only thing old that is interesting is Ancient History. Those mad Romans were FUNNY! Quote
