Do you rank Jim Morrison as a poet?

Do you rank Jim Morrison as a poet?

Lyrics are a form of poetry are they not?

yes, but would you rank him amongst other pure poets?

You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta thrill my soul, all right
Roll, roll, roll, roll
Thrill my soul
You gotta beep a gunk a chucha
Honk konk konk
You gotta each you puna
Each ya bop a luba
Each yall bump a kechonk
Ease sum konk
Ya, ride

Yeah sure, "poetry".

Do you rank Panda Bear as a poet?

Honk, honk Motherfucker!

"You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta thrill my soul, all right
Roll, roll, roll, roll
Thrill my soul
You gotta beep a gunk a chucha
Honk konk konk
You gotta each you puna
Each ya bop a luba
Each yall bump a kechonk
Ease sum konk
Ya, ride"
-Pound, Ezra

done, pure poetry

you've never read pound

Crystal Ship is a pretty good poem though
and The End tops everything, bu its more like spoken word

Yeah I rank him as shit-tier

explain

not him but jim morrison was a classic example of a dudebro who realized that farting out vague pouty gibberish can get you elbow deep in audience pussy if you know how to look dreamy as you say it

I looked at the lyrics of these and they sucked.

>L.A. Woman
>L.A. Woman
>L.A. Woman
>L.A. Woman

People are strange when you're a stranger
Faces look ugly when you're alone
Women seem wicked when you're unwanted
Streets are uneven, when you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name

woah dude, it's like, an anagram.

Don't be stupid. He was in a blues band, fag.

Wow, I'm sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain
South
Cruel bindings.
The servants have the power
dog-men and their mean women
pulling poor blankets over
our sailors

I'm sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the TV
Tower, I want roses in
my garden bower; dig?
Royal babies, rubies
must now replace aborted
Strangers in the mud
These mutants, blood-meal
for the plant that's plowed.

They are waiting to take us into
the severed garden
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful
comes death on a strange hour
unannounced, unplanned for
like a scaring over-friendly guest you've
brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all
and gives us wings
where we had shoulders
smooth as raven's
claws

No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems by far the best
until it's other jaw reveals incest
and loose obedience to a vegetable law.

Yeah dudes a good poet in my eyes

His lyrics are fucking great, but that's not the same as poetry. I love The Doors, but his poetry was shite (just think of Horse Latitudes).

>DUDE LSD LMAO

Yes, every person who writes poetry are poets.

He is part of why poetry in English is dead. It stopped trying to rhyme or have rhythm like real poetry.

BOOGIE WONDERLAAAND

Now that's an ancient bait

Both Iggy Pop and Patti Smith saw him and we're inspired to create. Not because what he was doing was amazing but because they realized you can be as drunk and stupid as you want and still perform.

Jim Morrison was a drunk masquerading as a poet. His legacy comes from the acts he inspired; not because he was an exceptional artist but because he proved you can be untalented, loaded, and bait your crowds into violence as a performer.

maybe you sucked reading them

>Horse Latitudes
wat, i love this one

TRUE SAILING IS DEAD

>you can be untalented, loaded, and bait your crowds into violence as a performer.
sounds great

Do you rank Bob Dylan as a poet?

More so than Jim Morrison? Yes. I don't know if I like calling songwriters poets though.
