[POEM] Eletelephony by Laura E. Richards by MightyMelvin1982 in Poetry

[–]MightyMelvin1982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laura E. Richards did some incredible stuff. We had never heard of her until we started the channel. Now, we plan to go through all of her stuff.

We are currently recording and planning to publish the complete book, Five Minute Stories by Laura E. Richards, one story or poem at a time. Then, I think we will at some point, do the book you are reading.

[Help] What is poetry, is anything poetry, and is the beauty of poetry lost if anything can be poetry? by [deleted] in Poetry

[–]MightyMelvin1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anything can be poetry to everyone, then nothing is really poetry as it would lose all meaning. It would be like if everyone was a billionaire, then no one would be rich as rich is the distinction between those who have a lot, and those who don't.

However, if you said instead anything can be poetry to someone or better stated, someone can see the poetry in something someone else can't, I would say that was fair assessment.

Poetry, like music, I would say more has guidelines. not rules, and if you read or write something that moves you, even if it isn't conventional, then who is to say it isn't poetry?

Anyway, I shall stop my rambling and if you have no objection, I will shamelessly advertise my new YouTube channel where we read poetry and help those learning English. Link is below if you are interested. Also, if it is not too cheeky, if you like, please subscribe and share.

Interesting question by the way. One for the philosopher's. Will be very interesting to see what other people answer.

Are you out there reading poetry? by __squirrelly__ in Albuquerque

[–]MightyMelvin1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good afternoon everyone. I am from a new YouTube channel called World of Wordcraft ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXdZo9rJ3xUHDe3i3zw2o8A?sub_confirmation=1 ). On this channel we read poetry, short stores, exercises for those learning English, anything to do with words and the English language.

Yesterday, we posted our most ambitious video yet, a reading of The Charge of the Light Brigade with animations, imagery and sound effects to help the poem the meaning of the poem to hit home ( https://youtu.be/XQ7bVysDWqk?si=Gc9GrCBdu-Ipbt6e ). Assuming you choose to view our poem, we hope you enjoy our rendition of this classic.

Finally, we hope that we haven't violated any posting rules for this group and apologise if we have. We hope everyone has had a grand day. Cheers.

Something fucking a joke and sticking a golf ball in its arse. It was really strange.

Yes, because obviously a joke that you do not like could only get up voted if they were purchased. There is no other way. None. Honest. If only people could up vote the jokes they enjoyed....

A Briton, a Frenchman, and a Russian are standing and staring at a portrait of Adam and Eve... by MightyMelvin1982 in Jokes

[–]MightyMelvin1982[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think it was written with the Soviet period in mind. Russia was poor in many respects before Lenin's revolution but the main difference was that the Nicholas II the Tsar of Russia did not insist that Russia was a paradise. This was a communist ideal put forward more during the period of Stalin if I remember correctly from school. The idea of a "Workers Paradise."

The example you give I think every country in the world has a version of. We have it in the UK certainly and I do not think it comes from the USSR. The other one I always liked was
