English - Your Favourite Poet?

Haven't a Clue

All changed, changed utterly.
A terrible beauty is born.

But yeah, Yeats did seriously need to get laid...

L2joke mate. You won't get far on these boards if you're going to start flaming peeps every time they make a joke. Lighten up.

No, I chose to take a cynical look to every poet trying to take out any bit of humour i can. I call it: piss-taking.

Obviously Yeats and Kavanagh couldn't have posted on a forum, the internet having yet to be invented for them! But I'm sure they would have, had they the chance. Or would they have held back, and realised I'm going to be a famous poet one day! I won't succumb to modern technology!

'filthy psuedo-intellects...'

Talk about jumping to conclusions, from one or two posts about a poet. You've got problems.

Yeah, typical attitude, oh my God two people who actually don't hate poetry, they MUST be geeks.... Let's "flame" them and gain internet-respect :rolleyes:

If your real life skills with people are anything like your internet skills, cotwold, it's no wonder you look to message boards for respect!

Just need to point out that a poetry lover is more commonly associated with the term "Nerd" which is indicative of an Individual who is highly, almost obsessively concerned with academia/hobbies to the extent that no benefit is acquired from the area.

A "Geek" In comparison is an individual interested mainly in one sole area of study/interest(Cars, Tech etc.)
where the knowledge gained is applied indirectly or directly to benefit the individuals life.
Geeks generally aren't socially inept just to add.

(off topic but I am a little bored:))
