Poetry in Song

Carl Solomon, Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs

National Poetry Month is here

Shift your brain into high gear

Ponder a song that was ere a poem

Plenty to choose, I'm sure you know 'em

In the comments have them arrayed

After nine you'll hear some played

 

Here's what we played:

The Libertines "Gunga Din"
Rudyard Kipling "Gunga Din"

The Byrds "The Bells of Rhymney"
Idris Davies "The Bells of Rhymney"

First Aid Kit "Stay Gold"
Robert Frost "Nothing Gold Can Stay"

Sinéad O'Connor "I Am Stretched on Your Grave"
Anonymous "Táim sínte ar do thuama"
