Living w the ghosts of poetry

I really don't know anything about poetry

(true confession)

most of it I can't understand or not gonna bother with

Sorry great poets :!

Christopher Smart ( was he kookoo? I think so)

That one about the sea creatures/ it goes on and on

 and the one about his cat Geoffrey- pretty good

The Drunken Boat - Rimbaud?

   What's with Native American reference - Indians!

 Leaves of Grass 

   Classic - which he changed like umpteen times - couldn't leave well enough alone-

Auden, Elliot, and whatshisname sorry couldn't do it

I lack certain tenaciousness verbosity

Ahem

Jabberwocky - fuck yeah

Two Roads Diverged by an old white New Englander

Dickerson- gloomy New England spinster rides the horses heads thru eternity

Baudelaire? Balderdash

Gloom and doom most of these guys need a good shot to the gut (kidding)

Rilke?

I wish I wasn't such an a-hole
