Ethnography Poems | Examples


Nocturnal

Yesterday
I strayed way to the arches of her mind,
She knows the ethnography of the sun and she tells me in her research she has seen Icarus gliding by,
We are two nocturnal creatures that know no doctrine,
We love the darkness like two fireflies with the Fourth of July in the crotch of their belly’s.
But today the mind is at guilt,
For sometimes I love her a little more than Zeus loved Hera,
And then I feel like we destroy Olympus when we touch,
The most misused words a lover utters is that I would die for you,
But trust me when I say on that I bet my life,
And to purchase your heart I am paying with everything I hold dear.

Roaring Words

Ethnography...
Linguistic contour...
Versus a mouthful innocence
Of roaring words full of empty sounds.

Poetry As Ethnography

Here in poets' glory, we bask....
Not long ago, a bard did ask,
"When did poetry become ethnography?"
Verse is part of human anthropology,
Even part of Christianity,
Millions of folk read their Koran,
As part of their faith of Islam,
Poetry is a sweet and sour dish,
You can interpret as you wish,
Each verse is a snapshot of society,
Part of cultural anthropology,
So, "When did poetry become ethnography?"
This muse has set us a task,
Good question to ask, good question to ask,
As here, in poets' glory, we bask......

It's a Matter of Fact!

It's a matter of fact to know something as a history
Of subject and how does it act - to have a deep and
Interesting outlook on the knowledge that we can find
As a real book, all people that decided to know the science
Of geography, history and traditions, of ethnography,
Modern arts and competitions in the human spaces of happy
People and their congregations in the more wide aspects
Of happy new civilizations! Like it, learn, find and enjoy
As the really wonderful facts of our culture, science,
Philosophy and congregation, joy
Of all nations, their customs and wonderful celebrations!
Let start now but with those young people who are thinking -
How to make it more pleasant and smart after studies, learn
Many languages as a part of modern travel and linking,
It's more fast thing than to sit in the past and the dust
Of traditional thinking, so let have voyage from one book,
Country or city to interesting another - have a fresh look:
From library to library, from one thought to dozen!
