Contemporary british poets. Their grasp of the english language is just poor and they get by on being codal and "avante-garde" (mostly through onomatopeaia or repetition). Such poets im talking about are simon armitage, seamus healy and carol ann duffy. They dont write 'em like blake nowadays.

By the way, APS, nice to see you're not dead. Cuz, you're always away on AIM. - DeadReligion.

That must be Marco Borsato, I'll translate my 'favorite lines' he ever wrote:

Today red, is the color of your lips
Today red, is what red is supposed to be
Today is red.
The red of red white and blue
From my entire heart to you...
Scream of the red roofs that I love you
Today red is nothing but the love between you and me

This guy is considered being a genious over here.

One for Ethan...

Why did I dream of you last night?
Now morning is pushing back hair with grey light
Memories strike home, like slaps in the face;
Raised on elbow, I stare at the pale fog
beyond the window.

So many things I had thought forgotten
Return to my mind with stranger pain:
- Like letters that arrive addressed to someone
Who left the house so many years ago.
