I love poetry! One of my requested "canons" is RPF about Enheduanna, most famous for being a poet; another is The Jewels of Aptor, where one of the main characters is a poet; another is "Sam Jones," a song. Poetry slots right in to the stuff I like.
Main gift OR treats as poetry/filk are both good with me!
Mycenaean History RPF Mesopotamian RPF Akkadian Empire RPF
Sam Jones - Leslie Fish (Song) The Jewels of Aptor - Samuel Delany (short novel) The Pasithea Powder (podcast)
I would love poetry for any one of these!
My favorite thing about poetry is fixed forms, and being creative within them. Sonnets are wonderful, as are more esoteric ones - the villanelle, the rondel, the sestina, the ghazal. But any kind of lyricism, including free verse and shaped-poems, are a delight. Whether it is a gift in itself, or is incorporated into a fic.
Filk, in the form of a song parody, is also super cool. ("Sam Jones" is a filk song after all! An original tune one, but filk nevertheless.)
