Interesting - you come to this place to disparage Utah Phillips, a great story teller and hero of the working class, by casting the lablel of Communist on his life. Then you compare him to Hitler. You must not have been paying attention to Utah Phillip's stories or you would know he disliked organizations- Government, business or social, that support the bosses and corporations by taking from the working man. The key to learning is listening, not dismissing the experience of your fellow human.

actually he was an anarchist and a pacifist and a wobbly, but never a communist.

@MikeJomara You are STILL a FOOL. The Spirit DOES MANIFEST DIVINE BEAUTY, my GRIPE (As YOU-IDIOT-Fail To Grasp, ) is CALLING TRASH "POETRY" to CREATE "MARKETS" for PUBLISHING TRASH, under the FALSE IMPRESSION that TRASH is ART.  I Also have a STRIDENT DISDAIN of TELEVISION EVANGELISM, "The School of P.T. BARNHAM: there's a SUCKER "Born Again" Every Minute, WE ARE GOING TO GET THEIR CA$H!" YOU, idiot, OBVIOUSLY "think" WITHIN the Marshall McLuhan: "The Medium is the Message"

@boxcarro i don't care what you learned in english class. i'm talking about self expression. the human spirit does not manifest itself in either a spondee or a dactyl.

[boxcarro]

Meters with three-syllable feet are ANAPESTIC (x x /): And the sound of a voice that is still DACTYLIC (/ x x): This is the forest primeval, the murmuring pines and the hemlock (a trochee replaces the final dactyl)

Each line of a poem contains a certain number of feet of iambs, trochees, spondees, dactyls or anapests. A line of one foot is a monometer, 2 feet is a dimeter, and so on--trimeter (3), tetrameter (4), pentameter (5), hexameter (6), heptameter (7), and o ctameter (8).

[boxcarro]

English poetry has five basic rhythms of varying stressed (/) and unstressed (x) syllables. The meters are iambs, trochees, spondees, anapests and dactyls. In this document the stressed syllables marked in bold type rather the tradition ." Each unit of rhythm is called a "foot" of poetry. IAMBIC (x /) : That time of year thou mayst in me behold TROCHAIC (/ x): Tell me not in mournful numbers SPONDAIC (/ /): Break, break, break/ On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!

@boxcarro though i suspect by now that you are just trolling and probably around 13 years old, i thought i might address your qualms with modern poetry. Though I can see why you think that young people are culturally idiotic, I ask you to consider this: is it the youth or the culture? The culture is certainly idiotic in some respects, but who among us isn't a product of our culture, of our environment? Also, poetry is about self expression and knows no imaginary parameters like rhyme and meter.

shit

@boxcarro It DISGUSTS ME that the POET GUILD has lowered the acceptation of "trash mudbeldy goop" as Poetry, FOR CA$H. To encourage FOOLS into Poetry Clubs to SPEND CA$H...they call schizophreniac word salad and long silly siloquietys POEMS. Poetry is NOT FOUND in Poetry Clubs anymore. (Hot Springs, Arkansas, We heard young females talking about and to their Vaganias....Oh GOD!) Keep that thing in your SKIRTS! Out of your MOUTH! It has no HextraMetre. It is DISAMBULIOUSLY DEFRAGGIDOCIOUSLY

[boxcarro]

The sad thing, is, Charlie Goodnight & Oliver Loving are people of Texas Lore from the Greatest Days of America. I am 62 Years old, and find that 100% of the Young People "Totally Culturally Idiotic" They KNOW NOTHING, the Schools teach then NOTHING. I grew up Reading Books. BOTKIN: The Anthrology of AMERICAN FOLKLORE, Every Elizebethian Poet, up to EA POE, I passed LITERATURE with a CITATION. What passes for Poetry now-a-days is TRASH. No meter, no rhyme- just GOOBLE-DAY-GOCK.

@publiclandowner

Utah was never a Commie.

He is an Anarchist, not some Stalinist's minions.

Long Live The Union.

Long Live the Anarchists.

RIP Utah Phillips.
