Re: poets
Huh..?
How is shakespeare a poet? Sure, in some of the scenes the lines use poetry, but by far not in all. |

Re: poets
well, he wrote two large poems: The Rape of Lucrece and Venus and Adonis and a marvellous series of 154 wonderful sonnets among other less important poems...

Re: poets
Miralys i love your quote
in his hey day Robert Plant was indeed a fine lyricist and drew inspiration from Tolkien's work...indeed Mordor is mentioned in the song "Ramble On" and so many of Zeppelin's songs have a Fantasy/medieval (for want of a better term) theme running through them... No quarter immigrant song battle of evermore Indeed many of our musical icons were tremendous poets in their own right - such as jim morrison, Lou reed and John Cale from the Velvet Underground, even Jimi Hendrix i believe dosn't receive the recognition he deserves for his lyrics. Also Kurt Cobain had an amazing way with words, and more recently zac de la rocha from rage against the machine. My personal favorite is Ian Curtis from Joy Division As far as more traditional forms of poetry goes, T.S Eliot (though he bewildered me somewhat), and Sylvia Plath certainly opened my eyes to the power of the spoken word... |

Re: poets
A short list...
J.R.R. Tolkien Lewis Carroll Ezra Pound Samuel Taylor Coleridge Lennon/McCartney Paul Simon Dr. Seuss ... and what's with the oh-so-conspicuous omission of Robert W. Service in all your above posts? |

Re: poets
So Tolkien is considered a poet. . . I personally really enjoyed the song from the Hobbit sung by the dwarves in Bilbo's hobbit hole.

I like Robert Frost -is that his name? he wrote the cremation of Sam Magee (no, not Sam Gamgee
 ) it goes like thisThere are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold The artic trails have there secret tails that would make your blood run cold. The northern lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see, Was the night on the marge of lake la barge, I cremated sam magee... It is really long, and really cool poem

That was Robert Service, not Robert Frost.
