Poetry matters? Awright!

posted by joel

Well, mighty fine, Cenk reminds us that poetry and poets are real, and worth our time.

Please, no replies to this posting--just a grateful acknowledgement that Cenk and David spent some time commenting positively on this part of life.  (David had never said anything negative about it, that I'd heard.)

Thanks, guys....  Young Turks!

Either way (3.67 / 2)
If you don't want people commenting, there's no need for the thread. So I'd like to see one of two possibilities happen here:

1) This thread becomes a fun-time party for us all, with anybody and everybody posting what ever comments they'd like, damn the torpedoes, please

or

2) This thread disappears forever and we all pretend not to remember it.

Doh! (none / 0)

Somewhere in my mind, I knew that.

Nowhere accessible, of course.

Thanks.

Poetry's like regular writin for folks who don't have their heads screwed on too tight. Those guys is looney

What rhymes with "Cenk"? (none / 0)

Maybe we should start a Young Turks poetry contest... or maybe a Haiku.

Have at it, Hoss! (none / 0)

The thread actually has a separate existence, as my acknowledgement that Cenk and Dave had clarified the official TYT position on poetry as: buyin' it.  Thus, its life is perpetual.

However, TYT motto #17 states: Let's have fun!

I therefor endorse the proposal that this thread become a repository for whatever, especially poetical whatever.
