Stone Poetry





I guess they won't be approaching me to be the new Poet Laureate then?

Well, if not the Poet Laureate, I will definitely nominate you for Poet Fridgeate! Are they all from the same of from different stone inscriptions? And where are they from? I like it! I think we should collaborate on a Dadaist poetry project!!

I have a thing for grave stones..(without being too morbid). i used to live next to Père Lachaise cemetery in Paris and it was a pleasure to read the inscriptions on famous writers and poets graves..
but it's mainly in Ireland that i love graveyards...

I like Anairam's idea of a dadaist poetry project !

anairam - Poet Fridgeate... I love it. An even greater honour! These words are cropped from a selection of three inscriptions I photographed when I was wandering around a lovely little old cemetery last week (attached to the church in the pictures below). I just love beautiful text, wherever it's to be found!
lala - I like cemeteries too (usually beautiful and peaceful places) and I agree that Père Lachaise is a particularly special one for inscriptions!

Oh yeah girls - I'm definitely up for a dadaist poetry project! How should we go about it?
