and yet another upsetting verse for you can guess who

May 9th 2007 11:28
Perhaps if I feed a certain jealous / cranky blogger enuff verse he 'll choke on his own nastiness?

What he has to be jealous or cranky about I dont know so he gets more votes for his blogs than my blogs do! Perhaps its cos I'm not interested in joining his mutual admiration society.

This was written in 1987. I was waiting for a late night bus , after studying at the library.

It was one of those cold frosty nights when the stars seem both distant and close.

Rather mixed meter of alternaitng syllabic counts

I was trying to shape the ideas and images and feelings into a something like a Japanese waka / tanka.


I stand so small

Below the high bright stars

Nothing and less

In the darkness

Between their distant fires

But even so!

O! the beauty!

Yep, I know EXACTLY who you're talking about now.

Well he claimed I cant write! On top of other charming remarks and insinuations! True my spelling can be erratic sometimes but there's a reason for that !

Floating blind spot in my visual field!!! along with another problem that gives me a tendency to reverse syllables!

Satire and parody should be addressed to the world's evils ... like Paris Hiltons' Get me Out Of Doing Time Petition. Now the phrasing of that does deserve a parody!

don't mind him, he's the kind of guy who thinks he's above and beyond everyone else around him and unless you give him your full unwavering support that he is a brilliant writer he won't so much so throw a bone at you.

post script

A note for others lurkers : guess who

... and at least I can write about something apart from sex ... OVID did it better and CATULLUS!

Donne Marvell dozens of othe rpoets of both genders

I dont want him throwing anything at me

... bones bad verse synopses film scripts tantrums ...

I reckon his little game and I' ve seen this before on the net is to goad the other person into snapping at him and then go on and on an don to his clique about how nasty the other person is even when he started it !

Ohwell if worse comes to worse there's always the option of doing a parody...

to the tune of
G&S ...yes that's Gilber t and Sullivan

I am the very model of a modern major general

I am the very model of a pesky pomo p***k
I abuse assonance and alliteration
My public persona is an abomination
I am the very model of a disrespectful d**k

I'm so obsessed with making out with the other sex
that I've managed to bore my readers far faraway
they wish I'd find something with which to play
cos I've a bigger ego tha a Luthor named Lex!

I've no respect for learning or scholarship
but why I can t confess so I make myself a pest
so I pick on some poor philosophic poetess
and never have given the nine ladies true worship!

I've gotta claque! I gotta clique! but I 've got no grace
I have no grasp of chivalry or true gallantry
But I'm got my popularity so f*** morality
I'm lord of my very little so limited blog space!

Parody is too easy!
