Another meme, gacked from Mrs Tater
You Should Be A Poet |
![]() You craft words well, in creative and unexpected ways. And you have a great talent for evoking beautiful imagery... Or describing the most intense heartbreak ever. You're already naturally a poet, even if you've never written a poem. |
Well, I do write poetry, though I doubt that it will ever appear here (apart from the infamous angioplasty sonnet which I wrote for a bet). But I try to steer clear of heartbreak (I save that for my fan-fic). And I think Donne, Marvell, Milton, Byron would have objected to the picture they've chosen as the Epitome of Poetry. (is it supposed to be the Muse? I hope not) I think I do, too.
As for TS Eliot...
I would also like to point out that there's more to poetry than throwing some metaphors at a page and hoping they'll stick.
