Lorca: Canción del Jinete (Other) by Sasha

In the blackened moon Of the horseback bandits Spurs chant out a song: "Swarthy little pony Where are you and your dead rider going?" Sturdy spurs, and strong Of the stirless bandit Who let the reins down: "Chilly little pony What a dagger-blossom! What aroma!" In the blackened moon Dusky Peak was bleeding, Bleeding from a wound. "Swarthy little pony Where are you and your dead rider going?" Then the night with spurs Kicked its sable sides and Pricked itself with stars: "Chilly little pony What a dagger-blossom! What aroma!" In the blackened moon Shrieks and screams!- Intoning Of the bonfire's horn! "Swarthy little pony Where are you and your dead rider going?"

No. Now I must run the risk of arrogance, which I am quite willing to do. I probably know these literatures (with the exception of spanish literature, which I am still working at) much better than you ever will. Don't even think about telling me about my "poor perspective" on literature when I have sampled a far greater variety of poetry from a far greater number of cultures and languages than I'm sure you have.

I can't write?
Phew, felt that.

At least I can capitalise the first-person pronouns in all of my poems.

I don't compare myself to the "greats" as you call them. I am merely stating that what you so blandly and generally lable as plagarism has been done by most of the world's poets. Then again, poemranker is the last place I'd go to for serious opinions on my writing.
