So I quickly realised that 3 poets would have no chance in covering me, so spent the last hour learning off a Derek Mahon essay.
I'm PRAYING that one of these four will come up;

Shakespeare
Hopkins
Plath
Mahon

If they repeat Rich and Kinsella this year. I'll be outraged......internally.

Rich can be fairly straight forward for learning quickly, if you want a basic outline of a fifth.

We never did Rich and there's zero notes on her in our poetry book.
I'll do a quick run over of Lizzie Bishop in the morning, we did her in school the very last week so I have some idea of her poetry.

Do a really quick run over, just to have an idea. (Is it obvious I don't want any of ye turning into me?)

I have til two in the afternoon anyway. I'm not doing engineering so it'll be grand. :pac:
A 7:30 start, a mug of tea and Lizzie Bishop. Sure Thursday mornings couldn't get any better. :cool:

Also, ODHead makes me sound like a drug addict and I find it quite amusing! :P

I have to admit that, glancing back after I had typed it, I was coming up with an even worse interpretation! :pac:

(Sorry! )

And for Lord's sake, don't simply write "Phillip Larkin was known for his poems revolving around English life." One. Mark.

Especially as he's not on this year! :pac:

Definitely glance over the 5th poet guys, you don't want to risk it. Even if you look over the 5th in the car to the way to the exam it will do no harm really, when you open the paper and (hopefully) see your poet of choice you can forget everything you glanced over on the way to school; if not, you have the 5th poet there, fresh in your head to get a few points down on him/her and some marks at least (a lot better than no marks!).

Listen to us auld ones! :P

Personally I reckon they're going to leave out Plath Bishop and Mahon, so.....

Hopkins
Wordsworth
Willy Shakes
Kinsella or Rich

Sean1996

rugrats

Predicting and hoping for:

Bishop
Mahon
Wordsworth
Shakespeare

All the facebook statuses are praying for Bishop/Plath. If they come up and I've wasted my precious time on 5 poets..........I will not be impressed. Awful as it may sound, I'd prefer for neither of them to come up so that everyone around me will descend into panic while I quietly continue with my Hopkins/Shakespeare question, Mahon at a last resort. I have a sneaking feeling about Shakeapeare appearing.

Slow Show

Was just about to say, Plath is trending on twitter. Ughh I really love her and would love to answer on her but I don't want to answer on the same poet as everyone ever.

I actually hope you're right. Hopper and Shakey fo' eva 2kaii13

Hopkins, Shakespeare, Plath and Mahon. Not sure if that's hope or prediction :P

Edit: Mahon, Plath and Hopkins all came up in 2004 My new prediction is Kinsella, two of either Plath, Hopkins or Mahon, and Shakespeare.

Where are you seeing people on fb paying for bishop or Plath all I'm seeing all over twitter and fb is Mahon

Okay I'm guessing it could go something like this :
Wordsworth
Hopkins
Bishop
Kinsella

Squidgy Black

It's Plath's 50th anniversary and the last year Shakespeare is on the course so I'd go with:

Plath
Shakespeare
Mahon
Wordsworth (hasn't come up in 17 years so there's always a chance, and he was on the mocks)

are you allowed to bring hmmtb into the exam?

Of course not. You're only allowed to bring pens, drinks and sweets, not a chance they'd let you bring in a book or notes

Plath
Hopkins
Shakespeare

Really? My brother is currently sitting this paper, and while he was covered poets-wise, he desperately wanted Plath. He was extremely confidant with her!:p He messed up his timing yesterday and ended up not being able to even start a QB so I really want today to go well for him!
