stupid realization of the day

[whitereflection]

Again I note how it's so freaking easy to find poetry on the web. Want to read some book, most likely you can't find the complete text--but say, feel like you're in a Walrus and the Carpenter and Rime of the Ancient Mariner mood (like say I am right now), bam, it's *there*. Rime I have in one of my books at home, not sure if I have Carroll's poetry or just his Alice works, but it'll be so easy to just plop down at the computer as I get set up for raiding stuffs, and quick read the both of them, without digging through my bookroom.

I dunno why this always amuses/pleases me so much, but it does. Poetry fans really do have a benefit in that regards I guess. (Which reminds me of my pondering recently to buy some Kerouac and cummings and Elliot...like duh, I'll just peruse web-stuff, feed the craving now, and buy collections laters.) Yay, internets~

Maybe I'll make this a project, start exploring more poets since it's easier. Been wanting to investigate Ginsberg and more Hughes, too...could use some recs if anyone has any? (Hm, right, note to self, Dad was always Dylan Thomas fan, don't think I've read almost any of his works, maybe that, too) Ignore me, I get in moods like this :|

They rock my socks. They are very good about tagging all the poetry.

*glee* I so have to join that o_o (Yay, did so :D!) Now I just need some time to go digging through it. But sounds like a great place to start exploring.

So glad someone else on my flist is a poetry fan. :o
