Title: Who is the best poet?
Post by: Fresh Prince on August 15, 2011, 08:34:28 PM: I think Byron. Don Juan is pretty good. Sure he screwed his half sister but at least it was consensual.

Look at him. This beautiful bisexual bitch god.

Look at this he calls out other poets: http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Don_Juan_(Byron)/Dedication
Not like that taco Keats.

I also wonder if that where Kanye got the bear going to college from. Kanye did English in college didn't he?
