I had a poem ready for today: "Prelude to a Break-Up". I also thought about posting a short story: "Perfection" or maybe "Paul and Jeremy". I considered a post about paintings.
In the end though, P is for Poetry. So let's get to it.
Robin Williams, in Dead Poets Society:
"Nirvana", by Charles Bukowski. Read by Tom Waits:
"The Raven", by Edgar Allan Poe. Read by Christopher Walken:
"Lovesong", by Ted Hughes. Read by Florence Welch:
Leonard Cohen:

A poem is a mirror walking down a strange street. - Lawrence Ferlinghetti

You nailed the P, my friend. Totally nailed it.

DeleteI love that line from DPS - The play goes on and you get to contribute a verse. What will your verse be?
ReplyDeleteYeah. That was a popular movie when it came out. Before your time.
DeleteLOL! You sweet talker, you! I remember DPS, for I was in high school when it came out. You are more than welcome to continue mistaking me for a younger person anytime.
DeleteExcellent post because poems are so personal and beautiful
