Day 89: Shakespeare's High School Poetry

Found poetry is a type of poetry created by taking words, phrases, and sometimes whole passages from other sources and reframing them as poetry by making changes in spacing and/or lines (and consequently meaning), or by altering the text by additions and/or deletions. The resulting poem can be defined as either treated: changed in a profound and systematic manner; or untreated: virtually unchanged from the order, syntax and meaning of the original.

I love The Cure. Their songs are definitely nothing you should listen to if you don't want to sully a good mood. Their lyrics are complex and ridden with emotion. I took this week's poetry style and applied it to a song that I always thought would make a great poem. It's a rip off of a song that I cannot name (mostly because the title eludes me right about now), but it's a good one. Due to its nature and deeply personal meaning, you will need the correct user name/password to open this classified file. Good luck, dear reader.

instead i leave you with this video by... not the cure.
