~My Answer:
First off...WOW! This is my first #FF in MONTHS!! It's crazy I know...I have definitely been slacking! So sorry guys! :D Same with #WOW's. Those will be starting up again too I promise! Its summer and I have more time on my hands!! :)
I am not a HUGE fan of poetry and I am terrible at it! Seriously. The last poem I wrote was atrocious to say the least. I mean I guess if I put more effort into it I might not be half as bad but its definitely not something that flows easily for me. So, that being said I am just gonna tell you about my favorite poems.
Where I am not talented in poetry, my cousin and best friend is! I love getting to read her poetry. Its amazing and so true to her. Its brilliant!
I do have a favorite poem that is well known but...I can't remember the title or author. Ya, I suck. I could point it out if I saw it but I can't recite it. It has to do with a dark lake and a woman lost. Its darker and a little creepy just because of the setting the author portrays and the words he uses but its rather beautiful. Something about the fluidly and haunting tone gets to me everytime!

Hi, I'm Nova! You probably haven't heard of me. I'm going out of my way to be more social (@NovaBlogder on twitter... Trying to tweet more.) That being said...
ReplyDeleteHm... Not sure which poem you're talking about. Is it by Edgar Allan Poe, perhaps? I feel like he's good with all the creepy stuff.
Anyway, this is my first F&FF ever... Like Ever. So don't worry, you aren't alone.
Followed!
My feature... Don’t forget to follow!

Hi Nova! Being social is a toughy for bloggers sometimes! I remember having the same problems! (still need to work on my bloggy social skills!)
DeleteI think it might be. He IS known for his creepy poems1 ;D
Well, its not my first...just my first in MONTHS! I totally started slacking on the memes! It is horrible! But WELCOME TO FOLLOW FRIDAY!
I'm not good at poetry either, but I took a shot with the book spines. It was kind of fun (though not necessarily good. :D) Now following you via Networked blogs as well as GFC. My FFs are at Musings on Fantasia and LKHill. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteIt looked like fun but I was in a bit of a time crunch as well! xD Hahaha Thanks for the follow! :) Happy Friday!
DeleteI just tried to group spines together that sounded okay, but I'm sure mine isn't the best! Welcome back to the FF!

I like it but its not a passion of mine. Its not something I go seeking for. I do have an appreciation for it though. Both because I know I could never create something so great and because sometimes they are so beautiful and lyrical. I tend to like the darker setting ones haha creepy!! ;)
DeleteHappy Friday! Thanks for stopping by! :)
Great Post
ReplyDeleteHopping Along, Have an awesome Friday!

Hi!! Its been awhile since I've seen you around! Probably because of my lack of FF posts! xD Thanks for blogging by! :)
DeleteI used to love poetry in high school and spent so much time in that section at my local bookstore. For some reason I don't as much anymore
ReplyDeleteYa, I've never been a huge fan. Like I said before I have my appreciation of it and can find myself enjoying them but its not something I take passion in like Young Adult lit.
DeletePoetry's not my strong point either, but I had fun with this one anyway. You can find my poem here.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower via GFC and Networked Blogs (since GFC is supposedly going away).
What!!? Since when!!? I have not heard about GCF going away!! That is terrible!! NOT cool! So what am I supposed to do with all my followers? D:
DeleteSorry, haha great poem! Thanks for the follows! Happy Friday! :)
Hey! I have a hard time with poetry but I enjoy reading it! I attempted my first spine poetry ever last night! I'm pretty pleased with it being my first. Happy Friday :)
ReplyDeleteNew follower! Amber @Nala's Book Corner
