I'm a big fan of poetry, off the top of my head some of ones who's poetry I enjoy the most are; Dante Alighieri, Edgar Allen Poe, Octavio Paz, T.S. Eliot, Matsuo Basho, Robert Frost, Federico Garcia Lorca, William Wordsworth, Emily Dickinson, Nazim Hikmet, Charles Bukowski, William Blake, Dylan Thomas, Homer, Li Po.
Thoughts about Violence and Pain plauge the conscious
there isn't any change or thought of precaution
Only the music and instincts function
Feel the warm grip, the thoughtless demented thoughts drip
With a smile in his face he potrays no remorse
He came to the intersection and chose none of the roads
As I'm here, subjected to his actions with no chance to stop this
Tomorrow scapegoats will be brought to the forefront rather than the thoughtless
That's a poem I wrote, I could stay here and write a long post about this poem, discussing it and what not but I'd rather not. It has a concept, if you read it carefuly it's actually pretty easy to grasp. I wrote it from the prespective of something that you could say has a big impact on the outcome of some cases that sometimes are used as examples when discussing the influence of music on the human consciousness. I hope that some of the people that read it (even if it isn't many) get what the poem is about, if you don't then I will gladly expand on it and break it down.

You are very good!!!!! I realy like it. I did not think you wrote it intel the end that you said "That's a poem I wrote"
Randy...I think the power in your poem lies in your great ability to manipulate words and create contexts that could have multiple meanings. I see from your intro that you read great poets. I look forward to having you in contemporary literature next semester as we read and respond to poems, stories, novels, etc.
