What is the relationship between the “poetry of Thomas Newton” and Urban Legends?
Folks do not go to Snoops for poetry.
Nah, they go there to search for spy cams. I go to Snopes for Urban Legends.
It all started when I Goodled “Conservative Poetry,” and found a thread in the “Book Corner” of snoops.com titled, “Good Conservative Poetry?”
“I went to a poetry jam recently, and thought it was terrific—really political, really passionate, really exciting (way more visceral than monotone renditions of “The Daffodils”). Anyway, my SO denounced the experience as “an hour and a half of socialist crrrrap!” This got me to thinking about politics and poetry, and I’ve been trying really hard to think of good conservative/rightwing/republican modern poetry ever since. To no avail. And I don’t know if I can’t find it because it doesn’t exist, or if I would just not see it as “good” poetry if it proposed ideas and beliefs I disagreed with.” —Chloe, snoops.com, Book Corner.
What a surprise she had when one showed up!
Now we know the answer—it is banned.
