Was it a WWII Russian spy greeting?

Nikolai: It's Summer in Siam.
Yuri: And the Moon is full of rainbows.

Poetry's not dead. Only that stuck in dry libraries and / or written by the Poet Laureate.

"It's Summer in Siam,
And the Moon is full of rainbows."

Guess who? (No googling). Easy enough.

Sounds like Tom Waits

Whenever I walk I am poetry in motion. When I sit down, I am not poetry in motion.

Whenever I walk I am poetry in motion. When I sit down, I am not poetry in motion.

When I sit down, sometimes my bowels are in motion! And it's seldom 'slow'!

poetry is most certainly not dead. If you can only find in dry librarys thats a shame.
Simon Armitage is a poet who is funny worldly and thoughtful. Theres a poem of his 'killing time' a part of which deals with the columbine high scool shootings. I think it may be the best thing written in this country in the last 25 years poetry or otherwise.

Cope has done some terrific stuff, (Wendy not Julian)

and yes you're right there are some fantastically poetic lyrics, Difford and tillbrook possibly the best english songwriters for years, some of the artic monkeys stuff shows promise and i think there is a distinct possibility that school children 200 years from now will be studying MM's lyrics.

So no poetry isnt dead, its just like people who cycle in the gutter, we dont always notice. can anybodys life be made worse by having poetry in it?

Poetry is dull.

And for people too lazy to write proper stories

 

[SamNichols]

I write both poetry and stories, I'll have you know. But the poetry is far more successful.

That's because people are too lazy to read your proper stories

This is just not witty,
In fact it is quite shitty.
Your posts are just not fun,
Especially the ones about your bum!
