Probably the only role, outside of NEO, that I liked Keanu in. And please, don't say "What about Point Break," which so many often do in defense of Keanu. The movie was great, but the acting stunk.<br /><br />Yeah you should write a new adventure- Orlin Vs. the minions of the devil and somehow he runs into Drazin bragging how cool he is to the devil himself.- Would be funny indeedAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885047796180529498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-32322056446638515362011-10-15T08:59:49.570-04:002011-10-15T08:59:49.570-04:00beautiful Job.beautiful Job.The Noiseless Cuckooclockhttp://thenoiselesscuckooclock.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-33645680476759640862011-10-15T07:03:04.845-04:002011-10-15T07:03:04.845-04:00Fred,

Alt...Well, I'm pleased with the response here. Although nobody guessed the poet I used, lots of neat mentions that I'll have to follow up on, and very flattered over the names many thought of.<br /><br />Well, who was the poet then?<br /><br />I really had trouble deciding which poet to use, I like so many of them. So I started by looking at my favorites:<br /><br />Favorite writer of all-time is a pretty close tie between Poe and Kundera- But Not the biggest fan of Poe's poetry- they're good but since we're discussing Poetry and not fiction I couldn't go in that route. Although, Nevermore was a clue I used, as My poet does have a link to Poe.<br /><br />So then I went to my favorite poets: The list is pretty long but I was able to cut it down to four: Rilke, Garcia-Lorca, Rimbaud, and Baudelaire<br /><br />So I briefly thumbed through each as I tried to make a choice. I was almost forced to jump off-course when I ran across a wonderful poem by Paul Verlaine, that just happened to be stuck on looseleaf in one of my Rilke books. But I chose against emulating You believe in Tea-Leaves and then simply chose against doing another Mythologically infused piece, as I probably would have headed in if I chose Rilke<br /><br />So, the next was Flowers of Evil and I never made it to the others work. I refreshed my mind a bit and remembered how much I loved Baudelaire's work. It was pretty easy at that point.<br /><br />Anyhow, I tried and glad you all seemed to enjoy it.<br /><br />By the way, for those that don't know, Baudelaire translated Poe, and there you have the connection. Thanks again to all, twas fun<br /><br /> The Poem was supposed to embody the style and a bit of the thematicsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05885047796180529498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-30255779598211081282011-10-14T18:03:11.100-04:002011-10-14T18:03:11.100-04:00Dee- Thanks glad you enjoyed the piece, I'll m...Dee- Thanks glad you enjoyed the piece, I'll mention the poet in a few<br /><br />Mama Zen- thanks, glad you enjoyed the piece as well<br /><br />Claudia- Nope not Bishop- but flattered to be mentioned next to her, there- Yeah it was my first Meeting the Bar-won't be my last either- thanks again<br /><br />John- wow, awesome feedback- I love how you played detective- that's something I normally do to myself as well-always trying to break things down. I really appreciate that-if you're like me you probably go nuts trying to answer a question that you hear. Not any of who you mentioned, but I love Dickinson-who doesn't right? And Eliot has tons of work I absolutely love- never been too into Pound though-but that I have to admit I'm very limited on the reading there- just never got to reading Pound. Think I might have to now.

Secondly, hard time figuring out who this is emulating..... because of the mortality and physical worldly nature in stanza three I was tempted to think of my favorite poet, of course, Emily Dickinson, but no..... You're using inversely rhyming couplets, popular by early 20th century modernists.. TS Eliot comes immediately to mind. But his was more of a simple, less ornate speech.... so wild guess here: Ezra Pound?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-89166436920359848462011-10-13T22:18:19.629-04:002011-10-13T22:18:19.629-04:00nice...devour vanities dance...also really like th...nice...devour vanities dance...also really like the creation turning sand into glass...i am ignorant in poetry so i could not tell you where it came from...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-12514618504700222062011-10-13T21:55:57.249-04:002011-10-13T21:55:57.249-04:00Fred, I'm so, so glad you did step up to the b...Fred, I'm so, so glad you did step up to the bar and did it brilliantly. I can't begin to guess which poet is your source of inspiration. I'm not as well-read as many others in this group. But your ability with meter and rhyme would lead me to guess one of the more classic masters. In any case, there is no hint for me of plagiarism and I think you should just be proud and let your work stand on its own. Bravo, Maestro. I do hope you'll let us know evenually.Victoriahttp://liv2write2day.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-91702462835250454072011-10-13T21:35:07.310-04:002011-10-13T21:35:07.310-04:00My poetry education is woefully lacking - I hope s...My poetry education is woefully lacking - I hope someone identifies the poet who inspired this piece because I love it.

Gerhard Richter, a German artist who paints in wildly divergent styles from nonrepresentational to photo-realistic and often obliterates traces of his own ‘style’, sees style as something that is adopted for a particular kind of work. Something, like technique, that can be acquired and used as another tool in the box, discarded when another style would better serve the work. I too have avoided influence and embraced it, tried to piece out what attracts me. In Art and Fear the authors talk about the difference between the experience of art and its creation. We can never reproduce the shock we receive from another’s work. I like how you talk about the creation of it here.
