Alan Tudyk on: playing a rooster on a boat like hamlet

its a poem call shackled leaf and was very big with the Japanese kamikaze. worth at least a one time read.

idk if this is it, but this is kamikaze death poetry, i generally hate poetry but this is moving and haunting at the same time

Oh damn, that IS haunting as hell.
Just curious, why do you hate poetry? I'm personally indifferent to it, there's good poetry and bad/cringy poetry and in general I definitely prefer prose, but I've never heard anyone say they *hate* the whole genre.
Edit: oh btw speaking of haunting poetry, one book of poetry I've always liked was Kytice (translated into English as A Bouquet of Folk Tales) by Karel Jaromír Erben. They're short horror stories written in poem form and most of them are really haunting. The book came out in 1853 and it's since become a staple of Czech literature. I honestly don't know if the English translation holds up but you can probably DL it on LibGen so I recommend checking it out.

definetly gonna do that, and as for poetry idk its just reading but more complex, and everyone says its deep and shit but like bruh what if they just wrote it as it is, and there are no hidden meanings. evryone just overcomplicates it so much

Yeah that's definitely true, although it's probably less of a fault of the genre itself and more of like... idk, asshole literature teachers? My HS teacher had us look for hidden meanings in fucking everything so I understand the frustration. But you're right it's definitely a space which can be and often is infiltrated by pretentious pricks, so finding poetry that is actually deep and not "deep" is like finding a needle in a pile of shit-stained hay.

couldnt have said it better myself, because i suck at saying stuff like that lmfao
