My Favorite Poem

Ok so this section is empty so I'll start off with posting my fav poem. Its by Langston Hughes (my fav poet) and it's titled:

"Genius Child"
This is a song for the genius child.
Sing it softly, for the song is wild.
Sing it softly as ever you can -
Lest the song get out of hand.

Nobody loves a genius child.

Can you love an eagle,
Tame or wild?
Wild or tame?
Can you love a monster
Of frightening name?

Nobody loves a genius child.

Kill him - and let his soul run wild.

Too much violence... although it DOES rhyme.

LOL too much violence?

LOL Yeah too much killing.

LOL ... you're cracking me up

LOL... Do you like any Edgar Allan Poe?

I love Edgar Allen Poe... here's my favorite Poe:

Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of ANNABEL LEE;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea;
But we loved with a love that was more than love-
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsman came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me-
Yes!- that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we-
Of many far wiser than we-
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling- my darling- my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea,
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Yah thats a good one. My fav is Alone.

Alone is awesome also

Enjoy the poems. Annabel Lee was pretty cool, ashame that his love died. Even in death, love survives .
Keep putting them up. I never was literary guy, I wish I had been.

Literature is my #1. I was a literature major... (never finished though)

I love poems, books, words etc. I'm glad you're enjoying them eq... that makes me happy. I'll keep posting them.
