What, more recs, so soon?

[sophia_sol]

I have a thing about William Carlos Williams. That is to say, I have an issue with him and his poems. So much so that I, um, have one of them memorized. In my defense it's really short and I didn't mean to? *headdesk*

So yeah.

"So much depends upon the red wheelbarrow glazed with rainwater beside the white chickens." Whatever, William Squared.

As a result I have been working on a collection of fannish poetry that has been written as a pastiche of or reaction to him, usually of the one about the plums. They are AWESOME. And here they are, as recs. If you know of any others, PLEASE do share! They make me strangely joyful, despite my antipathy towards William Carlos Williams himself.


This Is Just To Say, by toft. A Mythbusters version!
(ETA: And in the comments of the LJ version of Toft's, as a sort of sequel, a Mythbusters version of the wheelbarrow poem too, by shimere277!)

FORGIVE ME, WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS, by asimaiyat. A series of White Collar versions, that together form a fic!

An experiment in translation, by skalja. A lolcat translation!

With All Apologies To William Carlos Williams, by lannamichaels. A fandom version! Of both the plum poem and the wheelbarrow poem!

Do you mean The Unknown Citizen by Auden? In terms of poetry finding comms, you could try on poetry. :)

Alas, no, that's not it! It a poem that was actually structured like the index to a (nonexistent) book, with page numbers and everything.

I was actually thinking of trying poetry already, but I wasn't sure if that would be something that would fit within the parameters of the things the comm is intended for; I didn't want to hijack it or anything, since its stated purpose IS just for the posting and sharing of poetry.
