Brian McGackin<p>POETRY<br />So I’ve been reading the collected John Donne, and yeah I guess he was pretty good at poems but he was also a huge prick! Almost every poem is “my love is real and pure and true but you’re a woman and not to be trusted.” Like dude chill tf out. Apparently he eventually becomes a priest and only writes poems about God and then cuts out poetry altogether good riddance. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>poetry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/JohnDonne" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>JohnDonne</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/HistoricalAssholes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HistoricalAssholes</span></a></p>
