:52:00
It's a good effort. It touched on one
of the major themes: love.
:52:04
A major theme not only in poetry,
but life.
:52:07
Mr Hopkins, you were laughing.
:52:09
You're up.
:52:20
"The cat sat on the mat."
:52:29
Congratulations, Mr Hopkins.
Yours is the first poem...
:52:31
to ever have a negative score
on the Pritchard scale.
:52:35
We're not laughing at you,
we're laughing near you.
:52:38
I don't mind that your poem
had a simple theme. Sometimes
the most beautiful poetry...
:52:41
can be about simple things,
like a cat, or a flower or rain.
:52:45
You see, poetry can come from anything
with the stuff of revelation in it.
:52:48
Just don't let your poems
be ordinary.
:52:52
Now, who's next?
:52:56
Mr Anderson,
so you're sitting there in agony.
:52:59
Come on, Todd, step up.
Let's put you out of your misery.
:53:05
l, I didn't do it.
I didn't write a poem.
:53:11
Mr Anderson thinks that everything
inside of him is worthless...
:53:14
and embarrassing.
:53:16
Isn't that right, Todd?
Isn't that your worst fear?
:53:20
Well, I think you're wrong. I think
you have something inside of you...
:53:23
that is worth a great deal.
:53:26
"I sound...
:53:29
my barbaric...
:53:35
yawp...
:53:40
over the rooftops...
:53:42
of the world."
:53:46
W.W. Uncle Walt again.
:53:50
Now, for those of you who don't know,
a yawp is a loud cry or yell.
:53:55
Now, Todd, I would like you to give us
a demonstration of a barbaric "yawp."
