Here's for a little bit of fun.
Do any of you enjoy personality quizzes? I personally love them! I've got one here about poetry which you could all do for a bit of fun. I know people don't usually share the results they get on personality quizzes, but I was wondering if you can share your answers for the sake of chat. You don't have to.. If you have an opinion on personality quizzes, you could share that too!

Re: Personality Test: What Poetry Book Are You?
The Valley that Calls is your personality match for your laid back, personal nature and satisfies your natural thirst for adventure. When it comes to remembering poetry, you tend to do so subconsciously and you love repeating lines because they play to your memory.
One thing that draws you most to the valley is your love for the color green and the beautiful scenes they paint; your love for green fields, gorgeous starry nights, sunsets around the campfire and the fact that the moments that you enjoy the most are really quite sensual. As far as modern poetry goes, you're also quite futuristic.
You curled up with a book under the gorgeous blanket of a starry night paints a picture serene!
Now I need to go look up that book!

Re: Personality Test: What Poetry Book Are You?
I never could do these things. Probably my personality is too unstable to be able to say what my favorite X is or whether I like to read a book or take a hike. I can't make the choices--like in the Myers-Briggs. That one drives me nuts to take and I ended up not caring what it told me about myself. But lots of other people find that kind of assessment helpful.

Re: Personality Test: What Poetry Book Are You?
same here DWill, i sit there and pick one then i hesitate and think ...mmmmm i could pick that other one too.
plus i hate being defined
A picture of you enjoying warm, fuzzy feelings and having a cup of cocoa indoors while it lightly snows and dreaming about the love of your life raises a smile.
It doesn't really matter what time period poems are from as long as they're about love. Love, afterall, is infinite, constant, possibly the only poetry even worth remembering, so why should time-period even matter? You do have a habit to tend to memorize poetry that you like and it usually is about love!
A poetry book written by many different poets from every time-period and all writing about your favorite theme is your perfect book match. Oh-la-la!

Re: Personality Test: What Poetry Book Are You?
Spring Cherries
These berries come to me in perfect red
The smell of the season, they're Spring cherries.
In sight, I perceive them the sweetest fruit
And in taste too, the most succulent juice.
I sense that around the corner Summer
Resides. Only into the freshest Spring.
The creation of life, only in Spring
The birth of the sun - bright-orange and red -
Prematurely, leads way to our Summer
We wait for it by breed of these cherries
Making the most of this brightly churned juice
With it bestows a tall season of fruit.
The world's most colourful basket of fruit
Shiny reds, greens, browns, yellows is the Spring.
Squeezing every last drop of orange juice
Apples, strawberries, cherries, all in red,
And squeeze the juice out of many cherries.
Breed the finest fruit juice for the Summer.
We have to look forward to the Summer,
For it will soon produce a lot more fruit
That Winter denies us, like theses cherries.
'Look forward to Summer,' tells us the Spring,
'And every other fruit produced in red.'
Pomegranates, watermelons, sweet juice
Of berries. To eat raw or drink by juice
Savouring all flavours of the Summer.
I put on my lipstick - colour in red -
And go to the garden to pick out fruit
I see early signs of figs, budding Spring
And wash out a basket of pure cherries.
Every moment, savouring the cherries
Slowly sucking out all its sweet red juice
Breathing in wisps of the fresh water spring.
Moments of the arriving warm Summer
Savoured. Let me draw this basket of fruit
So I'll remember how it stands in red.
The life of the cherries, glories of red
Sweetening juice, carefully hand-picked fruit
The fresh water spring streams through for Summer.
From The Valley that Calls by Deniz Besim
I don't know if I agree with that, there were a couple questions that were all the same, and some that I didn't want to choose only one answer...
The poem itself is a pretty one, I like the springy feeling I get from reading it (especially now in the throes of Winter in Minnesota)

Re: Personality Test: What Poetry Book Are You?
I got... The clock. But didn't copy it as I prefer The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost. I've loved Frost's work since having to write a paper on him in high school
"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.”

Robert Frost is my all time favorite poet. I can't say which of his is my favorite, there are so many that I like.
