Posted 2006-07-14 21:04:00 | Comments (1)

Two great poetry sites that have world reknown poets are: www.poets.org. Here some of the poets read their own poetry ... you can hear them free. www.poemhunter.com .. .this site has poetry and song lyrics. Cat Stevens is here with his wonderful Morning Has Spoken. Www.poesie.it is a great site for italian poetry and poems translated into italian. You can mail poems to your friends at all of these sites. Through reading poems can increase your vocabulary and help you learn expressions of a given language. Please tell me some of your favorite poets. Mine are Pablo Neruda, Federcio Garcia Lorca, Mya Angelou, Langston Hughes, George Tillier, Alice Walker and Walt Whitman. Thanks for your anticipated responses. Lela:)

Hmm, unfortunately I usually don't read poems :( I read Willium B Yates in my university but they were sometimes too difficult to enjoy everything in it because of rhymes and unusual word orders. Well, here are some Japanese famous poets. Mitsuo Aida is the most popular poet between Japanese young people today. His poetry is maybe too short to call a poetry but very straight and very deep. Here are some of his works. http://www.mitsuo.co.jp/museum/profile/collection.html Tomihiro Hoshino is also very popular poet. His body has paralysis, so he holds a brash in his mouth and draw paintings and letters. http://www.tomihiro.jp/pic/index.htm Both of them writes about how human should be and how we live.
