Dead Poetry Society

[Tiger the Lion]

I love the irony, or paradox, of a poem eulogizing poetry. "Howl" was pessimistic too, but no so defeated as to sit quiet. I think most beat writing had that defeated (but not defeatist) tone to it. - So the tone goes nicely with the subject. - I also feel like you wrote this with a little bit of tongue in your cheek - I like that too.

L4 feels functional - I think it could be more colorful without being too bright for the mood.
L6 I think this line succeeds very well in tying the poem together, while suggesting further meaning.
L9 Does "then" work with your chronology? I'm not sure -

Thanks for sharing. I enjoy the topic.
