The March of Death

Internet photo of various famous poets from the past 600 years.

Poetry is difficult. 

Like many, I am awestruck by the likes of Shakespeare, Auden, Tennyson, Wilfred Owen and  Dylan Thomas, just to mention those that spring to mind.

Some like Kipling are frowned on as unsuitable for modern times. Tosh!

So called 'blank verse' often seems to be an excuse for those who cannot be bothered to write prose properly.


For me, combining meter, rhythm and  rhyme seems impossible.

A Bill Dark doom-filled favorite poem is 'This be the verse' by Philip Larkin.
