Nyugodt vagyok.

Bár a pofáján betörném, aki felrakta.

Evlia C'elebi, török íródeák gyönyörűeket írt Budáról.

Erre ez a dohányfüstös, whiskyszagú haláltáncos ideköp egyet !!!

well, I agree with you, but a poem doesn't need to rhyme?
thats one of the tings thats so great about poetry.! It can be everything. Billy Collins do have his own style, I'm not a fame of how he reads his poetry, but I do like the words, and would like to read it for myself.
do you have a fav. poet?

yes, I do have a favorite poet, or in fact two, but they both are hungarian so I don't think you know them :) (Radnóti Miklós and Kosztolányi Dezső - if you are interested). But, to say a foreign one too, I liked The Raven from Poe very much when we learned it... and then I read some other works from him, and found both the epical and lyrical ones amazing :)
how about you?

cool.. ;D
Whitman and Poe, but I guess thats kind of cliché? I don't know.. (and the raven is awesome!)
Hemmingway ;D I went to his house this summer and to his favorite bar too ;D
anyways. I guess I'm kinda cliché, but... I write a little myself.

but its kinda hard for me to find the time.

why did sb rate this comment like a 'poor comment' ?!
that's the truth..this poem is not about Budapest.. the writer just mentions our capital city in the last few lines..

maybe sb should enclose a hungarian translation for the hungarian people..
i suppose that would be nice..:)

by the way you should visit Budapest once! in my opinion it's a fascinating city.
