I see. A loose definition of poet. Poetic licence I suppose.

 

[top_biller]

Yes, how ignorant of me not being fully appraised of the colloquial names of every part of South London.

I really must spend more time poring over local history books.

Thanks for helping with my query.

 

[T & P]

I wonder if the branding of the area as 'Poet's Corner' was coined by estate agents...

but they all wrote verse poetry...

Spenser is a poet, granted.

Shakespeare is predominantly a playright, whilst Chaucer was principally an author, albeit a poet in his off season.

Fuck it, I suppos Poet's Corner isn't too far wide of the mark, I just didn't know where it was.

hold the bloody phone!

Shakespeare wrote 154 sonnets - some of the most famous poetry of the time:
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
"Let me not to the marriage of true minds, admit impediments"
"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun"
And five extended, epic-style poems. "Venus and Adonis", "the rape of lucrece" etc - anyone studying English renaissance poetry will tell you he has to be considered a poet.

While the Cantabury tales is one long bloody poem, beginning to end.

see also Paradise Lost.

I don't deny it's a bit poncey, the Poets' Corner tag - but it's accurate.

Do not question spangle's knowledge of Shakespeare. End of

I'm afraid it's a sloppy description and I'm going to continue to refer to it as Assorted Wordsmiths (Prosaic, Poetic And Dramatic) Corner.

Although it's technically a grid rather than a corner, but I don't want to open that can of worms.

 

[Orang Utan]

They ARE poets - you are just wrong

 

[Orang Utan]

Perhaps they should call it Writers' Block then.

I prefer Kindred - good old fashioned bakers.

Kindred is well pricey.

Some things are nice there though, but some sandwiches are silly money. Tea is overpriced too.

 

[SubZeroCat]
