I just read a great poem, by Myrhaf, whose posts we re-blog on the meta-blog. If you like poetry, check it out. (HT: B.Royce)

The Towers of Ilium by Myrhaf...

My first initial gut response to this poem was negative; I don't like it. It is a tired subject and could've been written by a high school student, it lacks the professional punch, if that is what you would call it -- very few of the poetic devices that make a poem a poem. For example, I love apt metaphors, but there are none. Definitely not a sense of life affirming poem now is it?! I prefer happy poems and themes of blood and hell and death don't really do it for me.
