@@ourspoetica Hi Paige, All these videos are great! Shailene's video is always easy to recommend to people in the mood for love. I've been an admirer of Sarah Kayes videos on KZitem for years aswell. But I love "Poetry" read by John Green. It's a great depiction of a poetry writer and the flimsy foothold poems have on the disingenuous reader. Plus, I think Poets can really dislike poems most days. Love the channel.

Im sixty one. Hearing that poem brought back so many memories. Every night, with me as a child and later as a teenager, I hear my mother in the evening saying allowed, the time has come the walrus said etc, before going to bed.

I'm so glad you read The Walrus and the Carpenter. I'm a 6th-grade teacher, and I use this poem during my figurative language unit. My students love the poem because it's so wacky! They are always confused after reading it independently, but when I read it aloud or play a recording, suddenly all the lightbulbs go off! I can't wait to add this video to my figurative language unit!

A QUESTION OF FLOWERS I. Generations, I cling to the image: bougainvilleas breaking away. Slow descent into palms of children unable to fly kites. Summer heat and translucent visions. Where are the sparrows, hope's usual metaphors? I love the sound of "crushed petals". Children, stare at the residue, at apparent lines. They are the trodden paths of Coleridge and Villa. They are your footprints foretold. Bloodied, ever flows. Wash your hands with the scent of forest fires, remnants of undoing. Play with me, in memory of generations past who tilled whatever left by crows and bugs. II. Play, that I admonish you with the ways of drunken poets. That we're in the company of yellow bells, santan, dama de noche. They must be parables of tainted selves. How immersed in rain showering twigs and thorns! How embraced the role of visitants! Our eyes yearning for extracts! For petrichor has arrived: heaven meets earth, gloom meets sensation. Dungeon of a home: is this for collective dread for the withered, untamed? III. I missed all about innocence, excavations clanking through the garden, crumpled grocery bags. Thud and rasp and ephemera. As thunderstorms subside, as the Devil's vigilance to the slaughter of joys. You must be frightened by this inwardness. Children, listen to a bedtime story unraveled in this rainy day. Imagine a rocking chair silhouetted against the fireplace, against souls thrust and battered. Imagine a soliloquy in eternal thread. A tale in stitches: measured to scare, woven to beguile, torn again to last. The moment the sun grins with his obstinate rays will I crush the remaining petals, surviving shadows of Cirilo and Sylvia. Phantoms might hoard from me, little souls might trick me into hide and seek. The gods might punish with oblivion's beauty. Here come menacing fingers watched by fog and the creaking of chaos. The question of flowers is one of endless love. Suffer. Ooze with exclamations. To baptize the unborn. [03 May 2020]
