Poetry in Song
Carl Solomon, Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs (Wikimedia)
National Poetry Month is here
Shift your brain into high gear
Ponder a song that was ere a poem
Plenty to choose, I'm sure you know 'em
In the comments have them arrayed
After nine you'll hear some played
Hear your requests weekdays after 9 a.m.
Today's set:
The Smiths "Cemetry Gates"
William Shakespeare Richard III
Lana Del Rey "Body Electric"
Walt Whitman The Body Electric
Joni Mitchell "Slouching Towards Bethlehem"
William Butler Yeats The Second Coming
