I can probably speak enough German to get the gist of what you're saying. Can't really read or write much though. :laughing:

Gist? That's not enough! My masterpieces must be appreciated in full!

Nah. :laughing:

Here's one.

Auf einer leeren Erde werden Lieder klingen
Und Farben werden blühen in der Nacht.
Und leise, herrenlose Schwingen
Befördern weiter sorgsam ihre Fracht.

Die seltene Absentia der Bitte
Lebt in des Äthers Klagen fort,
Verweste Bretter spüren noch die Schritte,
Zertrennte Saiten flüstern den Akkord.

There is only one language and that is English. Google translate to the rescue.

On an empty earth songs will sound
And colors will bloom at night.
And quietly, ownerless Swing
Transporting more carefully their cargo.

The rare Absentia asking
Lives in the ether continue lawsuits,
Decayed boards feel even the steps,
Severed strings whisper the chord.

That's the first thing I tried before posting it, since I knew you guys would.
Pretty accurate at times, at others hilarious.

I especially love this one: Lives in the ether continue lawsuits.

"Lives in ether continue lawsuits" is probably one of the more accurate ones.

Of course it is. I'm jewish after all.

Read some Frost, but his style and themes did nothing for me. Although I did partly like "After Apple Picking".
Keats is a magnificent wordsmith, but he's too old timey and again, the themes don't interest me much.
I feel like an ignorant dick saying stuff like that about two great poets. Maybe I'm just a stupid peasant when it comes to English poetry. I'm also sure that I don't 'feel' English well enough to appreciate poetry in full.

T.S Eliot doesn't really rhyme, but definitely read Lovesong of J Alfred Prufrock. I feel pretty much the same about Keats, fwiw. His poems grow on me after thinking for a while but the best poetry for me hits me in the short and long run.

I've enjoyed some of Waste Land, just bits and pieces here and there, couldn't make it all the way through. He's pretty amazing. Will do.

That's a fun one

My favorite poet is Sylvia Plath by far. Lady Lazarus is the #1 poem to check out if you're interested in giving her a shot
