i love poetry. i think it's good that you write it and post it here.
i admit i haven't properly read these yet. i have to be in the right type of mood to read poetry, i can't do it just any time. but i have my eye on this thread and i intend to read this at the right moment.
PS. Walt Whitman is one of the worst ''poets'' ever in existence. his work is so tedious and such a long-winded nonsense, that i can't get through a page of it without becoming frustrated. i have read his Leaves of Grass, and it took a tremendous effort on my part just to finish the mere 180 pages. it felt like my neurons were fried after i'd finished it. that is not what poetry feels like.
my poetic sensibilities were built up on Baudelaire, Lorca, Rimbaud, Verlaine, and Musset, to name a few. Whitman is proletarian compared to them.
