Poems

I have never been one to like the romantic crap in silly rimes, or the heroic deeds written with rythm or any other type of poem. Well, for most not. But once you put a melody in, good artists, vocals with a nice voice, gitars and drums and pianos, I love it. Music is a big part of my life, probabl bigger than books is. And how does this belong on a book-blog? Well, it IS poems. Odd how much better they get, once you can sing them.

But there is one type of poem I like without music to, the poems with no meaning. Those that don't make sense. Or those that is just there, not really saying anything of importance. Those I like, those there's no analyzing or thinking about for hours and hours, no hidden meaning. They are easy and often fun to read, they make you laugh of their sillyness instead of cry for tragedys. They are simply a little piece of laughter and light in our dark world.

An example;
"Speak roughly to your little boy,
And beat him when he sneezes:
He only does it to annoy,
Because he knows it teases.

Wow! wow! wow!

I speak severely to my boy,
And beat him when he sneezes:
For he can thoroughly enjoy
The pepper when he pleases

Wow! wow! wow!"
     picked out of Lewis Carrolls "Alices adventures in wonderland"


But as this is my opinion, what do you think about poems?
