New Poetry Recommendations

[Angeline]

i'd like to also recommend SunrockSin . he has six poems on litland so far and i'm really looking forward to reading more of his writing.

I just went and read his poems on your recommendation here and I'll third it. Some very clever stuff. I like Misericorde best.

Tuesday 18, weird weather in Seattle

Happy Tuesday Poets.

Well, it must be the lack of caffeine in my system because I'm persnickety this morning so I only saw a few fair to good poems out the dozen that hit the New Poems page today.

Some familiar poets, My Erotic Trail's, A Beautiful Soul and bluerains', Apocalypse and not so new, budding poets like joeys-game with his The Hole and The System, the latter of his two he posted today was more to my liking and befitting the theme this week in the US. joeys-game has also taken my 30 poems in 30 days challenge and hasn't cursed me yet, but I expect he will by poem number 12 or 15.


That's it folks. Have a good rest of the week!

pweasels is a new poet to me, and well worth reading.

pweasels is a new poet to me, and well worth reading.

I'll second this. I just enjoyed today's new poems and I can recommend you spend some time discovering this poet.

Joey's_game is also making his presence known over on the poetry lists and you'll be happy to see lobomao penning a couple of alliterative poems that, although not 100% to my tastes, are sure to please many readers.

Have a good Saturday afternoon.

Tuesday's recommends for your viewing pleasure

Hello Poets, good morning (kinda) you.

On the New Poem page I found an erotic eye-catching titled poem by sensuall, Sweatered Pump Lagging On and another erotic, Morning by CanadianM. Both poems I recommend today for a read, vote, comment what have you do to support the community.

That's it folks. If I missed one you liked, you can mention it here as well in the New Poems Reviews thread. Have a fabulous day!

I agree with you neo and I recommend this poem.

Wednesday 2006.04.26

Good morning, all. (Well, it's still morning for me, anyway.) It's Wednesday again. Looks like we have 33 new poems today, including six illustrated ones.

I'm not a big fan of the illustrated poetry category. For me, the picture tends to distract from the words and I find the odd fonts that are sometimes used hard to read. So you might want to take my opinion on these with a grain of salt. For that matter, you might want to take my opinion on anything with a grain of salt. Anywho, of the illustrated poems posted today, I found crimson tide by 4degrees and Haiku-Shades of Color by bearlee of interest for their words. Odd pictures, though. Took me a while to figure out what they were.

Of the non-illustrated poems, many are multiple submissions, so there are only 16 separate authors for the remaining 27 poems. Here are my suggestions:

• Marathon is a compact little poem by vampiredust that has some vivid images in it. Worth a read.

• William Stafford's Lost Gun is very interesting, both thematically and stylistically. Sex&Death has written something that looks like a "normal" poem but which reads more like a prose poem, at least to me. Thematically kind of odd, too. Using a gunfighter as metaphor seems a strange choice for a poem about a man who was a conscientious objector during World War II, but it works in a funny way. One of the more interesting poems I've read here in some time.

• Then there's our green 'E' poem, Goliath said by Lit's own Ignatz Mouse, MyNecroticSnail. I'm sorely tempted to just say "I like Goliath. enjoin your rite <winkz" but that would be pandering. What I will say is that I find it interestingly constructed but thematically bankrupt. Kind of like a Bertolt Brecht play. C'mon MNS, haven't you flogged this theme to death? Let's move on with life, bud. Offissa Pupp should just put you in the Coconino County jail.

Ah, OK. Enough of that.

There are a bunch more poems out there, people, and you're sure to find some other ones of interest. Go RVCing, 'K?

Finally, I will be unable to continue the Wednesday reviews in another two weeks or so. If someone would like to step up and offer to cover Wednesdays, shoot me a PM. Thanks much.

Bye!

I enjoyed reading imperfect by
lobomao

 

[Sex and Death]

The Dread Named "Strife" by WickedScribbler. Not usually partial to rhymes. Harder to do than they seem. Works here. Epic. Allegorical. Takes a stand. Men. War. Death. Loss. Courage. Awakens the warrior heart. Need more poems with these themes. Lost virtues. I understand the message of the poem gravitates toward anti-war, but it made me reflect on just exactly what is worth fighting for and dying for. Strife has a purpose, too.


Dopey's Lament by MyNecroticSnail. A brilliant and absurd giant parade balloon of a poem designed in collaboration by Snail's internal workshop elves, Picasso and Duchamp! Grabbed my imagination for quite a duration. Well written and wryly creative.

S&D

Monday Reviews~

This morning finds several pens by this author ...this being one I favored...has a nice wispful feeling of lost time...

memory in White by thewordsmith2590

That's all for me today...anyone else have a view..please follow thru...

 

[Sex and Death]

Insect Song by Ygraine is a glorioulsy fun, with a touch of taunting mischief. I read it with my children and we chanted it several times, building energy, while they capered about and dramatized it, with a great release of energy at the end. Pagan undertones. Samhain ritual.

Liar's Pangaea has been mentioned, deservedly so, and I will mention it yet again. Last stanza made me make a joyful noise. Way to bring it home!

S&D

 

[Ygraine]

Insect Song

I'm really glad you and your children enjoyed it, Sex and Death. It was written for a children's concert in Cornwall and recalled the previous day when we had been stone circle hunting and the men had been chased off Boscowen-un stones by the flying ants.

I should like to thank the person who has left comments on the poems - they have been really helpful. I shall definately be rewriting The Drink as a story. When I wrote the poem, back in the 90s, I hadn't started writing short stories and needed to find a way to commemorate the traumatic events of that time. All my poems have stories attached, as is usually the case.

I have some other performance poems, Sex and Death, let me know if you would like to see them. I haven't posted them.

Best wishes

Ygraine

Wednesday 2006.05.03

Good morning, all. It's another Wednesday and time for me to ruthlessly slice and dice my way through the new poems posted today. Let me find my William Logan memorial penknife and I'll get right to work, humming a merry tune through the 25 offerings today.

• Stepandfetchit seems to have been spending perhaps too much time in some of the local gaming establishments, which has left him feeling Drawn & Quartered. Poor guy. At least the experience gave him something to write about.

• I can't tell whether My Erotic Trail is having breakfast or dinner at the candled cafe'. Judging by the last strophe, it may even be dessert. Whatever it is, it's apparently tasty. Try a nibble.

• Now, now clutching_calliope! You're pandering to my tastes. You must know that I can never resist a poem called The Marvelous Lime Green Bra, especially this early in the morning. Have you been lurking around in my dreams?
  
  Not that that would be bad, mind you. So long as you aren't dating Freddy Krueger.

• Finally, let me sneak across Wednesday's boundary and mention song for the corn, a poem posted Tuesday by lobomao. I'm not a farmer, but it sounds like corn fields like twisty lyrics and a hip-hop beat. Try reading this one out loud fast. Great diction exercise.

That's all I have to say for the day, but there's a bunch a poems just waiting for you all to RVC some love. Pick out something I missed and tell us about it.

I have to go catch a plane. Where's my coffee?

 

[Angeline]

Another from Wednesday, May 3

you are my poison by lobomao is worth at least six reads to get all the lovely nuances of meaning that weave through the word play. Really well done.

 

[Liar]

I don't know whose day it is to review, but I'm just gonna sneak in and recommend Java by Tom Collins. Just because it has a line that goes

Inhibiting phosphodiesterases

and one that goes

Liberating mononucleotides

and makes it work.

That's worth a cookie.

 

[flyguy69]

As long as I'm here I might as well review New Poems (though I did retire, than you very much!).

There are only a few today so maybe you'll want to stop over and read them all. If you've only got time for one, I recommend cheetah83's Body Parts Haiku. A 5-7-5 structured corpus that will make you smile.

 

[annaswirls]

vampiredust has two today that are well worth the read. My favorite of the two was
Theory of Flying


I wish more people would comment on new poems. Myself included. It makes me sad. I think I am going to start a thread about my sadness.

We have no choice but to tease those

pull fringes of an imaginary rope, frayed.
