LJ and Six Apart -

I'm curious, does Symposium have artistic merit? What about some of Lord Byron's poetry? Walt Whitman?

Continues on in my Journal - complete with images ^_^

Poetry that MAY HAVE technical merit but where is the ARTISTIC merit?

Hard as hurdle arms, with a broth of goldish flue
Breathed round; the rack of ribs; the scooped flank; lank
Rope-over thigh; knee-nave; and barrelled shank --
                              Head and foot, shoulder and shank --
By a grey eye's heed steered well, one crew, fall to;
Stand at stress.  Each limb's barrowy brawn, his thew
That onewhere curded, onewhere sucked or sank --
                                              Soared or sank --,
Though as a beechbole firm, finds his as at a roll-call, rank
And features, in flesh, what deed he each must do --
                             His sinew-service where do.

He leans to it, Harry bends, look.  Back, elbow, and liquid waist
In him, all quail to the wallowing o' the plough: 's cheek crimsons;
        curls
Wag or crossbridle, in a wind lifted, windlaced --
                             See his wind-- lilylocks --laced;
Churlsgrace, too, child of Amansstrength, how it hangs or hurls
Them -- broad in bluff hide his frowning feet lashed!  raced
With, along them, cragiron under and cold furls --
                            With-a-fountain's shining-shot furls.
