I enjoyed both Moore's What Are Years and Steven's Emperor of Ice-Cream.
They are both very lyrical in context. There is a fast pace and even flow to both poems. I can easily come up with a heavy rythm guitar base for both of them, they would definatley work.
They both use colorful language as well. I found Moores to be a little less fragmented and easier to roll, but Steven's makes up for it with the poems depictions and obscurities. Comparing Ice-Cream to a woman dying in bed is pretty wild, where Moore goes right for emotions and depths (emotional). Moore breaks her lines as we would break our sentences. The lines easily lead in to another, usually with a comma. Steven's makes you work a little more for it.
"The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As the are used to wear, and let the boys"
Moore's poem was easier to follow than this. And just what is it in them cups?
