GIP + All you poem-lovers out there...

[slumber]

Well, as it said. GIP. *grins*

*loves children* Aren't they cute and adorable? *refrains from cooing*

Also, we are going to begin reciting poems this Thursday for English class. Erk. Pick a poem, the professor said, any poem that you like. (That isn't modern and is, you know, published by a known author.)

So, I am stuck. I have no real favourites, or, er, I don't know. Help, anyone? Give me suggestions for poems.. Originally I thought maybe Invictus, then maybe Sonnet 17 *giggles* but I don't know. I've got to recite it in class and stuff. er, hmm...

Lochinvar by Sir Walter Scott. Very rythmic. You read it to make your voice mimic the rythm of clopping hooves.

The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. If you're allowed to use props, there's a Loreena McKennit song which uses the poem for its lyrics. She's also done a song for Lady of Shallot by tennyson, which was recommended to you earlier.

Ooooh, thank you! :) Clopping hooves, eh? Hm, she might like that. :P

Great, thanks so much! :D

Glad to help. Our high school English lit classes were *very* comprehensive because the books we used were imported from the US. We had to rent them becaus ebuying would have been hideously expensive. though I've heard that they're selling the books now if you want to buy instead.
