Tim Burton's poems

So it was one fine day at the Taka Kinokuniya that i came across this book. I have been interested in poems since my Creative Writing class. It was so funny i read the entire thing all at a go. Yea, i noe what u r thinking: I didn't buy it.

So thinking that i was so cool to have discovered a new, interesting poet, i looked to see what other stuff he wrote. A work by him that is commonly known would be Big Fish. cos it made it to the big screen. So i found out that he is indeed rather accomplished and that i'm so uncool to have found out so late. To make matters worse, a simple search on the internet reaped many many sites related to his poems. There were fan sites for his poems, fan sites of the characters of the poems, sites selling toys and many many more. sigh. uncultured i am.

He actually wrote quite a lot of stories and most of them made famous. Pretty cool huh? What i like best about his poems is that they are not the sort that u have to think real deep, decipher and play around with words to decide what the poet is trying to say. Perhaps if u dug deeper, u mite find more meaning. However, with my time constraint and simple mind, i found the poems really fun and extremely creative. Another source of inspiration.

Well, wanted to copy and paste a peom for all to see. But yea, it's not posted online. Mayb after i buy the book i'l share it with u all. For now, this is the site to visit:
