[livejournal.com profile] angevin2 has been posting a poem a day for Advent (hey, why not?).

Consider An Infinite Number of Monkeys, by Ronald Koetge, about the great concerns of monkey literature.

And Five Ways to Kill A Man, a charming poem about time and death by Edwin Brock.

And today's dose of awesome, A. E. Houseman's The Colour of His Hair, written in response to the arrest and trial of Oscar Wilde.

"The Colour of His Hair" is awesome! I loves it, yes.

I like His Hair, and I like the story behind Five Ways, but I don't like the style of the first two. Actually, I really don't like Monkeys at all :(

I remember studying Five Ways to Kill a Man in 9th grade and being the only person in the class who enjoyed it (everyone else was OMG too cool for poetry)...then I forgot all about it. Ahh, the memories it brings back. :P
