Is it even *possible* to be a hippy geek emo goth? Since that's apparently what I am! Hee! Considering that emo is about 18 years past my high school days, that's saying something.

oh, you write poems? *perking up ears*

[identity profile] norwich36.livejournal.com 2006-02-22 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I *used* to write extremely bad poetry when I was in high school, so I checked that box. But a few weeks ago, when someone (rose_emily, maybe?) was asking in a joking way for comments in the form of haikus, I tried to write her a sonnet and failed miserably. There was a time when I was 16 when I used to be able to think in iambic pentameter, but that time appears to have passed.

that's impressive, though. i have never been able to rhyme or to write in strict meter. all my poems are free-versey and owe more to poetry slams than to the historical greats. the mailguy will be bringing me a hardback collection of t.s. eliot in a couple of days. i used to Fear Him [eliot, not the mailguy], because in college i was taught that he was Difficult; but now that i'm all grown up, i find him rapturously wonderful.

there's a scene in a film i just watched, L.I.E. (rather disturbing movie), in which the kid seduces an older man by gorgeously quoting whitman. could've been a cliche, but it wasn't. i belong to the Church of Poetry, btw. and now i'll shut up. (the waitress must've given me regular instead of decaf at breakfast, sorry!)

Does Lex recite poetry to someone in canon, or am I thinking of a story? Because I definitely have a mental image of Lex reciting poetry to Lana and Chloe, I think, and being very hot while doing it. I think it is a story, now that I think of it, but I can't remember which one. The poem is something about eating figs. Hmm. It might be that body-switching story by Rivkat? It escapes me now.

I *love* Eliot. "Murder in the Cathedral" is probably my favorite play.

[identity profile] myownghost.livejournal.com 2006-02-22 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
yes, that sounds familiar. i like rivka's stories! i'll look around to see if i can find that.

maybe reading eliot will be good for my writing. *g*

[identity profile] norwich36.livejournal.com 2006-02-22 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, it was indeed Switch (http://smallville.slashdom.com/archive/17/switcha.html), which I couldn't remember the name of this morning. And the poem is D.H. Lawrence, "Figs."

thank you! that's what i'll read this evening. :)

Oh, and another Lex-reciting-poetry story: one of Thamiris', the one where Clark has to write a paper on some Beat poet. (My memory is clearly gone this morning).

When a Strawberry Is Pushed into a Mountain? great story!
linky

i also like the story by Dogpoet that has both clark and lex writing poems. yum.
Language of Love

Ah, yes, that's the title. And I like that Dogpoet story too.
