Sarcastic Poetry Helps People Vent

When people think about poetry, many people think of emotional tales. Others think about rhyme schemes, as well as making a big statement. However, poetry can be whatever you make it, and that’s part of what makes it so special. If you want your poetry to make people laugh, it can absolutely serve that purpose. That is just what one woman is doing in Santa Cruz, California.

As reported by the Santa Cruz Sentinel, Jorie Henrickson is the author of “Fukiu: Seventeen Syllables of Sarcasm, Scorn & Spite.” It is basically using haikus to deal with the pet peeves of every day life. Topics in the book include bad drivers, noisy neighbors, human rights, and more. Perhaps best of the all, the book also includes illustrated journaling pages, so that everybody can create their own masterpieces. Which pet peeve will you turn into poetry form?

It doesn’t matter whether you want to write a poem about emotions or sarcasm – just do it!

C.K. Williams Poetry

Every so often, a community loses an extremely important member. That recently happened to the poetry community, with the passing of C.K. Williams. The poet, who won a Pulitzer Prize for his work, tackled issues ranging from war to poverty. He had a big impact on the poetry world, and his memory should live on. For that, today’s poetry excerpt comes from C.K. Williams’ “Butchers.”

“Thank goodness we were able to wipe the Neanderthals out, beastly things,
from our mountains, our tundra—that way we had all the meat we might need.

Thus the butcher can display under our very eyes his hands on the block,
and never refer to the rooms hidden behind where dissections are effected…” C.K. Williams

As the poetry community moves on, there is even more reason to write out your thoughts. However, if you need help writing a poem, you can ask Express Poem. All you have to do is fill out a simple form, and our poetry experts create something specifically written for your situation. It has never been easier to have your thoughts turned into poetry!

Soccer Club Hires Poet

There is little doubt that soccer is less popular here in America, than in many other countries. The passion for the game burns bright in many places, and it is the most popular sport in a lot of areas. Some people even go so far as to call soccer “poetry in motion.” Whether or not you buy that, one team is determined to take this statement to the most literal level. Selkirk Football Club has officially hired a poet-in-residence.

As the BBC piece discusses, Thomas Clark will be the official poet for Selkirk, in Scotland. Though it sounds like the role is unpaid, Clark will discuss many topics surrounding the game. People take “football” very seriously over there, and having a poet should bring a new dimension to things. Clark’s poetry will be published in game day programs, and should be high in demand. It will definitely be interesting to monitor the situation as it unfolds.
