QOD Thursday 12-13 "POETRY, MAN"
Poetry, yay! Poetry, yay? Well, it shouldn't be too awfully bad.
Here you get some lines from a pretty well known poem. You provide the next line (or so). You'll know when you've done enough, it completes the rhyme (I wouldn't be mean enough to give you free verse. Ha!). I'm also giving you the name and author of the piece. I thought about doing bonuses for the poet, but I figured if you knew the line, you'd know who wrote it.
I tried to give the lines from a part of the poem that's quoted or whatever, because you might recognize a poem, but you don't know the whole thing taken out of context. Like I can recite like the first four lines of "Trees" (and the last two, ha!) but the rest is a muddle.
I'm not going to be all Hattie Hardass on you and count you wrong for using "has" instead of "hast" or a misplaced punctuation mark (God knows, I can never get the punctuation right on them), but you have to have the general gist of the line.
Wow, this is a long explanation for a fairly simple quiz!
12/13 POETRY, MAN
1. The Road Less Traveled - Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
2. Because I Could Not Stop for Death - Emily Dickinson
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
3. O Captain! My Captain! - Walt Whitman
O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done.
The ship has weathered every rack,
4. Eldorado - Edgar Allan Poe
Over the mountains of the Moon,
Down the valley of the Shadow,
5. To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time - Robert Herrick
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying.
And this same flower that smiles today,

Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

2. You really have stumped me.
3. The prize we sought is won.
4. Well, it's not "rode the 600." How about "Beyond the baleful glare of Noon, the hearty conquerors ride." I just made that up, in case you can't tell.
5. Tomorrow will be dying.
QoD: Only know two Eliot poems by name, and The Wasteland seems too obvious, so I'm going to say The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.
Bonus: Only know one slide/lead player who died too young, so I'm going to guess Duane Allman
If it's Duane, then it's Dickey Betts.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that made all the difference
2. Because I Could Not Stop for Death - Emily Dickinson
Because I could not stop for Death
He kindly stopped for me
The carriage held but just ourselves
and a plate of beef jerky

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done.
The ship has weathered every rack,
the prixe we sought is won
4. Eldorado - Edgar Allan Poe
Over the mountains of the Moon,
Down the valley of the Shadow,
You bit me too soon
5. To the Virgins, To Make Much of Time - Robert Herrick
Gather ye rose-buds while ye may,
Old time is still a-flying.
And this same flower that smiles today,
tomorrow will be crying

You would think so, wouldn't you? Taint necessarily so!fantine33 wrote:Poetry, yay! Poetry, yay? Well, it shouldn't be too awfully bad.
Here you get some lines from a pretty well known poem. You provide the next line (or so). You'll know when you've done enough, it completes the rhyme (I wouldn't be mean enough to give you free verse. Ha!). I'm also giving you the name and author of the piece. I thought about doing bonuses for the poet, but I figured if you knew the line, you'd know who wrote it.

Dear Ms. Hardass: What about the one that don't rhyme with the part you quoted? 
1. And that has made all the difference
2. And immortality
3. Something about the prize being won, but I don't remember exactly.
4. Nope, not even a good guess. How about a joke answer of "I used to know this tune...But now I sing too baddo"?
5. I should know this, but don't. "Will soon be closed and dying"?

Dear Mr. Squishy Tomato: Huh. When I wrote that, it said "you'll know when you've done enough because it will either rhyme or complete the thought". But I had a long ass opening, so I edited to consolidate it some to make it shorter and it ended up "when the rhyme is complete". Which I guess I thought meant the same thing. But I guess not. Ha!KillerTomato wrote: Dear Ms. Hardass: What about the one that don't rhyme with the part you quoted?
PS That one doesn't rhyme because I wanted to use the most well known part of the poem. See if I go easy on you guys again! Either that or I need to start writing my openings sometime before I'm in the post message window. Like that will ever happen.

I tried to give the lines from a part of the poem that's quoted or whatever, because you might recognize a poem, but you don't know the whole thing taken out of context. Like I can recite like the first four lines of "Trees" (and the last two, ha!) but the rest is a muddle.
I'm not going to be all Hattie Hardass on you and count you wrong for using "has" instead of "hast" or a misplaced punctuation mark (God knows, I can never get the punctuation right on them), but you have to have the general gist of the line.

My captain does not answer.
His lips are pale and still.

Fallen, cold and dead.
I dint remember as much of that as I thought I would.
