Hey I'm new here... just wondering if anyone else was into Beat Poetry, and if so what poets or poems. I'm fond of Allen Ginnsberg myself...
"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving
hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for
an angry fix
angleheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavently connection to
the starry dynamo in the machinery of night
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in
the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats flating across
the topes of cities contemplating jazz,...."
Thats from his most famous poem.. "Howl"
also love Jack Kerouac....
Haiku:
"Came down from my
ivory tower
and found no world"
what do you guys think that means?
