I love to write and read poetry. My favorite is Emily Dickinson's poem which begins "If I can keep one heart from breaking, I shalt not have lived in vain..."

    words are a shield from pain, a dance to get rid of the rain. words are power for the weak, so why do we get punished for what we speak? (i love poetry)

    I like some. I'm not into rapish poetry or any rap really. I will have to take time and try and listen to what he was saying, My self preservation stopped me from hearing it. I give a thumbs up to the Marines, I'm sure what he was saying was probably really good!

    Whose woods these are I think I know.
    His house is in the village though;
    He will not see me stopping here
    To watch his woods fill up with snow.
    My little horse must think it queer
    To stop without a farmhouse near
    Between the woods and frozen lake
    The darkest evening of the year.
    He gives his harness bells a shake
    To ask if there is some mistake.
    The only other sound's the sweep
    Of easy wind and downy flake.
    The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
    But I have promises to keep,
    And miles to go before I sleep,
    And miles to go before I sleep. --by Robert Frost

    Is it possible that one could not enjoy that?? That's one of my all time favorites. =)

    One of my favorites. Do you know "Nothing Gold Can Stay?"


    Nature's first green is gold,
    Her hardest hue to hold.
    Her early leaf's a flower;
    But only so an hour.
    Then leaf subsides to leaf.
    So Eden sank to grief,
    So dawn goes down to day.
    Nothing gold can stay

    They are mostly from a german songwriter, i would have to add a translation to it, and even then it would be hard to understand, i suppose. :)

    that's a pretty awesome video. that's poetry/rap. but it was great.
    as far as poetry itself, yes, some. some is too far out for me. some doesn't even make sense. i used to write it alot, but that was a looong time ago.

    Depends on the poem.

    I have a friend that writes poems that I love, but I've tired to read some other poetry and don't understand it. :(

    Langston Hughe: Mother To Son, James Weldon Johnson: Go Down Death (afuneral sermon), it is one of the most powerful poems ever. I also like Paul Lawrence Dunbar: my sort o' man.
