Poetry - mostly old stuff - the language meant more back then - Longfellow, Wordsworth, Keats and of course Will Shakespeare..

Lawrence Binyon's "Burning of the Leaves" and Ernest Dowson's gloomy rhymes.. "..the days of wine and roses"

Ted Hughes has a good go at the language, though... "Stars sway the tree/ Whose roots/ Tighten on an atom."

..and Philip Larkin's middle-class claustrophobic nastiness is just hilarious.

- and don't forget dear old Spike Milligan, who's child-like vision sets him way up on high...

- Do you read any poetry...?? :whistling:
