Romantic Poetry

<p>Ahhh, I'd always thought of poets as obscure losers, but apparently Keats, Blake, Arnold, Coleridge, etc. have pretty admirable skillz lol. Strangely enough, I enjoy reading their poems/quotes/insights.</p>

<p>Any favorites from you guys? :) At least Google something now and pretend to have known it all along...</p>

<p>I like some of Shakespeare’s sonnets. Right now I can’t remember any of them 'cause their titles are numbers lol.</p>

<p>You are very nice.</p>

<p>I do enjoy your comp’ny</p>

<p>I have to leave you.</p>

<p>Brilliant.</p>

<p>The wind starts to blow.</p>

<p>All is quiet but the night.</p>

<p>We begin again.</p>

<p>I am a poet. = DDDDDD</p>

<p>I like Leaves of Grass by Whitman. But it’s not really romantic.</p>

<p>Just a small town girl.</p>

<p>Living in a lonely world.</p>

<p>She took the (mid)night train.</p>

<p>Just a city boy.</p>

<p>Born and raised in South Detroit.</p>

<p>He took the (mid)night train.</p>

<p>= O lol it works for the first 2 lines.</p>

<p>*We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy</p>

<p>I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand</p>

<p>Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry, never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you*</p>

<p>Josie’s on a vacation far away
Come around and talk it over <------ since she is on a vacation we talk it over…?
So many things that I’d like to say <---- she’s on a vacation… not life altering.
You know I like my girls a little bit older <---- lolwut? random?
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don’t wanna lose your love tonight</p>

<p>I ain’t got many friends left to talk to
No-one’s around when I’m in trouble
You know I’d do anything for you
Stay the night - we’ll keep it under cover
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don’t wanna lose your love tonight</p>

<p>As you leave me please would you close the door
and forget what I told you
Just 'cause you’re right - that don’t mean I’m wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I just wanna use your love tonight
I don’t wanna lose your love tonight</p>

<p>I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!
-Good 'ol Percy Bysshe Shelley</p>

<p>Story of my life.</p>

<p>^ that’s a big DUH moment there. Of course you’re going to bleed. Who did he think he was? Wolverine?</p>

<p>^As far as I can tell, Wolverine bleeds too, though he has those sick regeneration powers. :frowning:
Maybe Nightcrawler would’ve gotten away, though. Or the other fellow who can go through solid objects–what was his name?</p>

<p>We had a Romantic poetry unit in 10th grade… and after the test, I forgot it all.
:(</p>

<p>^ I shed a tear for you = (.</p>

<p>jajajaja I’m ■■■■■■■■ so hard right now.</p>

<p>Edwin Arlington Robinson… Even though he is post-romantic</p>

<p>lol just stick with Blake, Byron, Wordsworth, and Keats for Romantics. I find Shelley to be a bit to informal</p>

<p>For modernists, Pound, Williams, and Eliot are all absolute geniuses, and I also love Marvell, Milton, and Ben Jonson, as well as the variety of Petrarch translations around</p>

<p>Art thou pale for weariness…</p>

<p>lol I forgot that I also enjoy Mapleleafs26’s HSL inspired poems.</p>

<p>He who binds to himself a joy
Doth the winged life destroy.
He who kisses the joy as it flies,
Lives in eternity’s sunrise. </p>

<p>Blake.</p>

<p>[skulks back into the abyss]</p>

<p>We just started doing Keats in English. WIN.</p>
