A Friday Fun One - The Best Poem Ever!
July 27th 2007 00:17
This week started out kind of slow in the world of celebrity news, but then thankfully Lindsay and Britney took it upon themselves to give us plenty of tabloid fodder to digest. But after the excitement of Lindsay's arrest and Britney's meltdown, I need something a little less 'sensational' for Friday.
Today I have a special treat for you. Poetry is a popular topic here on Orble. For some brilliant advice on how to write poetry, or to see some outstanding examples of poetry visit David's Mindorgasm's blog, or see Ash's work (just two examples of the many talented poets found here on Orble!). However, if like me you can't write poetry to save your life, never fear, you'll still enjoy today's Friday Fun! Miswanderlust pointed me in the direction of this brilliant piece of poetry featured on Spout Blog. The piece below is by a young lady named Erin and is her tribute to Allen Grinsberg's 'Howl'. For those of you unfamiliar with this poem (and to those people I ask the question "what the hell were you doing during English literature people?") Click here to see the original text of a number of Grinsberg's poetry, including Howl.
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!

I thought you might appreciate that. I love the idea of someone doing something really clever like that. Kind of highbrow celeb reporting.

I love this girls accent.
Loved the other poetry too. I`m quite embarassed to admit that I studied Lit at Uni and don`t recall this guys work... GASP!!!!! I know, but I never took any modern classes so may I be forgiven?
