Poetry is word art...

[lozenger8]

April is apparently poetry month and we're supposed to share poems, so I shall share two of my favourite poems by other people and one I wrote myself.

I'm not really much of a poetry person, but I like them all. :)

I never, ever understand how anyone could not be a poetry person, but I am glad you liked these.

"Life as Sheep" is such a fun one to speak out loud.

[foolieonthehill]

Poetry is less "I don't like it" and more "I don't get it" with me. And also "I can't write it unless it's deliberately silly".

I can only imagine reading Life as a Sheep to a group of kids. How fantastic. :D

Here's one I've adored since I was little.

And a silly limerick a friend and I wrote in a biology class:

There once was a crayfish named Sushi
His insides were very mushy
We cut out his eye
And sliced him like pie
All that's left is a glob; rather squishy.

HEEEE!

That was wonderful.

That pig statue is pretty cool. I don't think there's anything that impressive at the malls around here.

There are four of them. They actually are very cool. Rundle Mall is an open-air mall - it's a street, really.
