Rudyard Kipling

I remember growing up reading 'The Jungle book', Rikki-tiki-tavi was always my favorite...

In my opinion Kipling was a man who had The Common Touch and a wonderful insight to the feelings that make us human.

very unique. A ballad of burials is a well written poem of his

If American schools still taught reading and writing, Kipling would be a good start for the kiddies. But I'll never forget the look on my college writing prof's face when I named my lifetime favorite poet (then; over half a lifetime ago.) He had to massage his stiff upper lip so that the spectacular sneer wouldn't cramp up and set in place.

But I learned so much from Rudyard Kipling. He was a product of his time, but he kept his inner child alive, thanks to the early abuse of strangers in loco parentis. Some of his work, especially after the deaths of his children, are rending. Life did not treat him as kindly as he treated it, or others.

Kipling is indeed unique and novel in terms of poetic style. He's one of a kind. You need to have an open mind to understand his views and concept of the world. I admit, I also learn from his style.

i think that Rudyard kipling is a cool guy and room 106 5th period rocks

I did not like Mr Kipling's protryal of india in some of his poems.

Mr Kipling might have born in India, but i did not in some of his poetry like the potryal of India.
