  • Definitely not. His poem "Funeral Blues" is one of my favourite poems of all time, and it ALWAYS makes me cry: Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone. Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message "He is Dead" Put crépe bows round the white necks of the public doves Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song, I thought that love would last forever: 'I was wrong' The stars are not wanted now, put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good.
  • Poetry does not move me nor does it play on any of my emotions, so I'd have to agree
