Poetry meme

Well, there's that poetry meme going around. First off, I must direct you to this wonderful Cheese sestina that I read over at [livejournal.com profile] chzmongrrrweeps. I laughed. I cried. It was like they were writing about my life.

But, in the spirit of things, I'll type one by George Kauffman.

May Day Unsung 

Pardon us,
     we seem to have taken
     a wrong turn. May Day
has become unsung,
    the Red Square 
silent and the technique
    of the West
has overcome the will
    of the people.
    We are six workers
          in search
    of a revolution,
          and we shall
               bury you.


now go post some poetry in your own LJ.

slight tutoring, no biggie

I'm not sure how you personally post/edit your LJ entries, but in this case I'd go to the edit link (should be http://www.livejournal.com/editjournal_do.bml?journal=gordonzola&itemid=166164) and find the beginning of the poem. There, before the <b> tag, put a <pre> tag. Then, at the end, find the </b> tag and put a </pre> tag after it. Then it'll look better.
