What Mystery Has Poesy
ANGELA & BRIAN said:
THANKS TSB ~ for a fine POEM on POETRY !
Here is my Poetic Ripost ~ OK
POETRY has licence ~ Poetry is COOL
PROSE has to be factual
And obey all the ROOL
Poetry is AURAL ~ something to recite
While walkin* through the Jungle
Or round the FIRE at Night
Poetry allows us to be in BOLD SO EMPHATIC
I can include a hiden message
BOLD ~ COLD ~ ENIGMATIC
I was born in LIVERPOOL we has Aural Tradition
WE spoke DOUBLE ENTENDRE to show our erudition !
Our insults were ephemeral ~ blowing on the wind
Not written down to make you feel your reputation skinned !
The moving hand doth write
BUT if it is NOT written
BUT only thought with Aural VERSE
You can recite ~ but cant be smitten !
So if I want to castigate
And censure with a frown
I resort to AURAL POETRY
AND NEVER WRITE IT DOWN !
Round the CAMP FIRE we composed 100\'s of verses of Poetry but NEVER wrote it down or recorded it ~ we just let it blow in the WIND. That is the beauty of spontaneous Aural Poetry let it blow in the WIND and it never comes back to haunt you. From an early age in Liverpool we were trained & tutored to think and speak in meter & rhyme ~ OK
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Yours ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡

“Time and Space”: A Sequence of Tanka Poems
ANGELA & BRIAN said:
THANKS *SB* ~ For FIVE perfect TANKAS on Cosmology. Tankas give 10 extra syllables which is appropriate to the SUBJECT.
1. YES ~ We are all *Children of the Big Bang* ~ But still subject to *The Laws of Physics !*
2. The Milky Way has thousands of SUNS ~ but there is only ONE Solar System !
3. YES indeed ~ WE do live in a very Dynamic Universe !
4. Planet Earth ~ is (probably) the only inhabited Planet in the Milky Way
5. YES indeed we are *Children of the Comos* However if by Global Warming ~ Deforestation ~ Plastic Pollution of the Hydrsosphere ~ Increasing Technology & Urbanisation we render OUR PLANET UNINHABITABLE ~ Thats the END ~ There is nowhere else to BOLDLY GO !
Thanks for sharing & caring !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
