I see a lot of classicaly applauded poetry and I see a lot written by internet hacks and I honestly can't tell the difference. For fun - I'll post two poems here - were they written by poets or hacks?

I swallowed my words twenty weeks ago,

A web so well-woven,

I circled the edges,

amazed at how you survived.

I laughed and I cried,

and you'll never know.


Today I smile when I see your picture -

and I feel all the love of a friend.

Tomorrow, forgotten, another arisen,

The end of the cycle,

The start of the circle,

I'm swallowing words once again.

Cristobal Colon, in the USA known as Christopher Columbus, was a spanish Jew from Barcelona.

In Spain all educational books state he is from spain. I know that in the USA the school books state he is Italian but that is false.

Cristobal Colon's JOURNAL, written in Castilian, is considered by far the best account left by a navigator of that time. Why didn't he write it in Italian??

Hi married a spaniard, he lived and died in Spain. He is buried in a Seville cathedral. The only reason why Spain kept a secret his identity was because they where expelling the Jews from Spain at the time, so his identity was always left a mystery. But everyone knows he was a Spanish Jew. He came from an important family of Jews. Why would the Queen and king of Spain invest so much money and power on a poor Italian from a poor family? Think about it.

There are no records of him in Italy, only theories that some guys made up, mostly American Italians?

Why do Americans still believe he is Italy?

I'm a 23 year old male who doesn't know what to read or what authors are worthwhile. I'm also afraid that if I pick up a random book from the library that I'd pick something that might snap my recent dedication to reading. Angels and Demons got me hooked, then the Da Vinci Code and the Bourne Trilogy kept me going and got me excited, but I'm out of ideas. I think I'm looking for adventure or excitement and I am a fan of twists or deception. I think ultimately I just need something that SOUNDS like it could be interesting, but again, I don't know what's out there. Any suggestions are welcome, especially if they are your personal favorites or had some kind of impact to you.

Alright, here's the deal...

I've applied to Tisch School of the Arts in New York, and I want to audition for the musical theatre program. I already have my monologues ready to go, but I still need sixteen bars each from two songs from musicals (a ballad and an upbeat song).

Anyone have any suggestions??
