Poetry Corner News

I don't know if anyone is interested but I thought I'd do a poetry news blog. I have read a lot of poetry here and know the poems I like and can recommend some each day or week to people with less time. Well we'll see what happens. I'll do it using links so it's even easier, you don't have to comment on the poetry unless you feel really moved to.
My favourites today for just really good poetry are as follows.
This is from Watersandthewild, he's an amazing poet and I do believe that one day he'll be published despite himself



The next is from fjamesj9701,



Well, they are the best of the poetry for today, so I suppose if you like what I like you'll like what I write and at the moment I have two poems up





Now in some ways the more interesting part of being on the poetry corner is coming across poetry that isn't really poetry, but an ongoing conversation between the poets as though they are in a large pub and shout the occasional question or answer across a busy room at each other. For instance the most lovely person in the world felt she had upset someone and wrote a poem as an apology.
The poet's name is Paloma and she's the gentlest of creatures, so I'm thinking if it was someone who is not good at english that misunderstood her that's kind of normal. But if it's someone who is really good at english, then they misunderstood on purpose to hurt or offend her. If anyone has a thought about this please say so.



The funniest 'poem' that is posted at the moment is this one by backuplover, who yea I think it's a fake profile and someone's having a laugh or a hard time but it's worth a look all the same.




Still think poetry is boring? Sometimes the comments are the best thing about the poems, they tell loads more about what's going on between the poets or characters than the poems ever do.
Have fun and a lovely day.
