under all that, is this pearl of unquestionable wordsmith mastery, that\'s says it all - without,
all the rage and antagonistic threads to hate...
these - here is the you I read
forgive me if by doing so I add
to those you perceive as belittling influences...
as always, I thank you for choosing to share your brilliance dear Poet:
\'in between i know that i was
always alone...
it doesn\'t matter more and more...
it\'s become an affair of
an armchair
when there\'s the body towing
the feet into a marathon distance
circa 7hours...
for the mind, though:
i\'m alone and aloof...
teasing solipsism -
as a St. Augustine
teased with his soliloquies...
but so much comfort to not idealise
love like one might:
prior to first contact with
one\'s own imperfection...
an armchair in the mind:
frozen and almost breathing with
all that\'s leather...
so possibly everything
not being in love: in love
and for all those divisions
of enterprise, expectation:
metaphysical labours...\'

black feather toys (II) / フギン & ムニン
L. B. Mek said:
1) \' that i have that i have: have...
over-stepping some marker...
even though my thoughts
are not a narrative
and are shrapnel\'
\'that i\'ve come across a brick wall -
a cul de sac of ideas:
a choke of thought...\'
\'too much of what\'s voice
is also agony:
i\'m simply tired:
this lethargy is more impassable
than impossible...
this current \"democracy\"
is too ugly to allow me to attain
stature of a cognitive nudist...
simply: i want more voyeurs
than readers...\'
2) \'in my life i focused on...
probably one maxim...
a tao maxim... i am a Taoist...
the maxim stands... unshakeable as:
if you want to help the world:
- forget the world
- allow the world to forget you...
help aid whatever...
i\'m starting to feel inclined
to state my cause:
beside the distinction
some make between
a lived life and an experienced, life:
i.e. life vs. existence...\'
\'fudge-packing celestial
constipations: a worth of a year\'s worth
of stars:
life, this bothersome loan of
things: privy of words...
that all life is a loan...
a most excruciating exercise in
peak ownership before
a grand disavowal...
like into a funnel:
into a recycling of matter and matters
yet to lodge themselves
into:
the invasion of space
by inanimate \"beings\":
can you call anything
animate and not being?
aren\'t all inanimate \"things\": things?
classical trip-up...
between a res cogitans (thinking thing)
and a quod cogitans (thinking being)
how can i classify myself
as a \"thing\" if: the chair is more
animate than me in a painting (etc.)?\'
\'what was admired: ancient Greek...
never became the admiration
for a life-support machinery of
what was Byzantium -
hardly hymns of praises...
the quest of the roman empire
never teased the arousal of \"my\" peoples...
such pronoun jargon junctions...
some variations of \"my\" and \"who\"
and what is not...
it\'s not conversational hanging-leash...
it\'s not \"in on a\" privy...\'
3) \'cue: any: agonised purpose...
better to beast up on having
punctuation: like one might
have diacritical markers...
to lease the least: and think just as much
of a more...\'
\'these little details of this little
world...
strictly antithesis nomadic
these ol\' prunes
these glistening gob garbs
of sizzling runny-fat
\"sires\"... having to:
muster the mustard seeds
for [patience:
how someone, anyone...
would have to make themselves
\"recommendable\":\'
\'existence: out of every instance...
there\'s this, a me and the moon...
life and all that bullock-whipping
and controversy and: the hell of others
that have strapped a crab-bucket
to their craniums calling it...
a fucking crown of the third eye...
fame without either of Odin\'s
フギン
& ムニン
(crows)...
is all but the same old:
c.c.t.v. cocktail with mr. paranoia
and still no red carpet avalanche
of paparazzi epileptic fits
of strobe... or...
a midnight walk...
piercing the pavement
with all the glitter of frost
with every tilting of the head...\'

indeed, it be a world of Knight\'s and Kight\'s, we inherit and bequeath...
I\'m in awe, as ever - what a mind!
\'now depict me: ♘♞ :
it\'s not a white horse and a black horse:
it\'s a (k)night vs. k(n)ight...
while the (gh) becomes lost
when the TAU is stressed with hyphen

the etymological roots of english are not
enough for me!

it\'s not boredom

oh! and what a sketch of \'unfiltered genius\': you paint...

you dine with those poetic Olympiads of Milton and Gertrude etc.

Really interesting poem. Looks like MyPoeticSide supports kana, and in one instance, kanji. I\'ve managed to post short text in pointed Hebrew, Farsi, and Russian, and seen someone else post in Devanāgarí (probably Hindi). Looks like it\'s got Unicode fully enabled.
Looks like you had some trouble getting it to justify the kana lines correctly.
Had to look up who Rupi Kaur is. I know a couple of people on Facebook who are getting their poems read that way.
You belong to a distinct minority on MyPoeticSide who know what a poem is.
How do I contact an administrator? I want to do a revision of the bio on one of the individual poets\' pages, Aaron Southwick, who just happens to be my great-grandfather. Most of this page\'s material is cribbed from a bio I posted on the Web about 15 years ago.

i either sit here and waste a perfectly

pretending to ooze out an aflation...
clearly i\'m not: brain-fudge-fidgety
yes... custard for thought and
oozing nuggety gravy too, yes...
all that\'s missing is a rubric /
slanting linear of some verbiage
baggage (un)like a rhetorician invoking
tautology...
the air should be refreshing
since it rained all night...
yes... come to think of it...
these legs will give me more ease
by being put to use than these fingers\'
well I\'m grateful, you chose to gift us a small sample before turning to your long walks for some \'ease\',
a brilliantly - rollercoaster journey of a read!

a cocktail of bravado &

Absolutely Brilliant!
You seem to be at your best after a brief (3 hours) walk. I admit I have read little of Lawrence\'s works but I remember this passage that might help endear him to you a little, from \'Don Juan\':
\'Here this round ball of earth
Where all the mountains sit
Solemn in groups,
And the bright rivers flit
Round them for girth.
Here the trees and troops
Darken the shining grass,
And many people pass\'
Stay safe and thank you for giving us another glimpse of your unquestionable talent.

GUT MITWOK CONRAD ~ Brian here (I share this site with Angela my Wife since MARCH ) Thanks for an epic Poem ! Most Members like short poems so you will get READERS but not REPLIES which is a pity ~ because it is the ability to COMMENT & REPLY that makes MPS a Proactive Site. I am a Food Scientist so your title intrigued me *CHEMICAL STRAWBERRIES* I downloaded the Poem & read it and I have pleasure in commenting on the STRAWBERRY SECTION. There are many Srawberry Farms in Essex (its the soil & climate) and the handwritten P Y O signs are very inviting in the season. Also it give one the opportunity to eat one (or three) straight off the BUSH ! English Strawberries are UNIQUE as is their FLAVOUR & TEXTURE ! Strawberries should be eaten Uncooked in Season (they dont freeze) and as you point out Spanish Strwberries are Anathema and should be banned ! The flavour of an English Strawberry consists of over 50 chemicals in a perfect genetic proportion which is impossible to achieve synthetically ! Bush Boake Allen in their *Strawberry Essence* use about 25 compounds - and that essence is used to flavour *Strawberry Sweets* by MAYNARD etc etc. These taste far superior to Spanish Strawberries but not English ones ! Both the *Taste & Texture* of an English Strawberry are important but some of both are lost by freezing - bottling - canning - cooking etc ~ unlike some other FRUITS. The only answer for *Year-round English Strawberries* is JAM & Tiptree Jams have cracked that one and are available Worldwide. *Little Gem* is revelation !
Thanks for sharing *CHEMICAL STRAWBERRIES*
Peace & Joy to You & Yours

to have been cheated so
Stephenwbd said:
Just read your poem and a few others on this site. I like your poem; I think it is the only poem of those I have just read that is not sentimental tosh or a product of a lifetime having pop music shovelled in your ear. I enjoy this kind of mobility:
i itch with skin i tease
myself over an asset that\'s these eyes...
i sip a glass of water,
And this, the way you switch images and the humour, great:
if it was oh so simple
that we were all born turtles...
with knowledge of plumbing apparatus....
I imagine you sitting, drinking: the poem mixing your life and geo-politics, Baltic history thrown in, more alcohol, more fragmentary. Edit it: short verses, stabs of phrases 5-10 lines, don’t try to make a point, the point will happen. Keep it tight – the verses; keep it loose the verse content. Good Poem. I wish you luck.

my dear \"father\" the fog!
my dear grandiosity: the moon,
the fog and your shadow!

that i too will follow down your

but sip these last remnants of life greedily,
and let that be your legacy...

i have to thank you
for the grief: i drink less!

here\'s me looking

make strategy with
a semi-colon...
new paragraph?
new chapter - or altogether

Please - both vocalisation and written script are about communication. So what exactly is it that you are communicating?
Perhaps some background in your profile would be of assistance.....

a date with death
L. B. Mek said:
1) \'seems like: perhaps i was a boy then...
and the beloved dog of the family died
and one were allowed to weep over so much
animation and nuance in a bark:
but soulless the essence died... nonetheless...
even then... the man who is about
to die ventured to restrain himself in giving
me the news when i was having a sleepover
since: boys don\'t cry...
it\'s funny-numb: it\'s teasing tears that
are not supposed to be shed...
in the last years of his dementia he would still
remember... that same dog...
a mongrel-esque tease of an alsatian
by the name of Bella\'
2) \'it is unimportant for the lineage
of this man to have survived:
after all... i have not \"bothered\" to keep
it... rejuvenated... i had no... lineage
quest... no family name...
although... if i invoked my mother\'s
maiden name: Batuk... almost resonates
like Bathory... origins in the Czech sphere:
- and he implored me to call him
once a month to talk any sort of crap
with him - i hardly ever did:
we came to an understanding that
to talk... a conversation would require
facial features contorting, eyes...
probably some hands too...
is that a regret?
it could very well... but not really...\'
3) \'i have to \"man up\"... there\'s the wait:
from the hospice to the shallows:
grave being the riddle and as he stressed
countless times: death the great leveller -
the only democratic auto- prefix:
that no one can \"just\" veto...
and by all standards of mortality -
born 1939: herr! bite bonbon! circling
around 82 isn\'t bad for a man...\'
4) \'next up on the chop-a-block of: inevitable...
my grandmother...
and isn\'t that going to be a woozy...
a new definition of division...
my mother a daddy\'s girl...
my uncle a momma\'s boy...
my father? abandoned by his parents
is beside stoicism:
i\'d pinch a suggestion
at psychopathy - now news of death:
just this... working up to cul de sac certainties...
hours from now and i\'ll be
bed-side at the hospice talking
to a vision of a corpse not yet formalised...\'
5) \'let me join the ranks of those
already sentenced to the base reality
conundrum:
that death is a liberty and that...
i have no fear of dreams per se...
otherwise: thank whoever it is i have
to thank for the least of my talent being
exposed:
there is no: go gently into that good night...
blindness for one...
is not the cobweb of smoke
and mirrors of dementia: the latter...
i have to cherish the exactness of my
gargoyle face to keep these last remaining
tremors of life being gifted with:
an old curiosity...
i will not rhyme what\'s already
a technical matter...
that i want to wed my eyes my breath
with that of death impeding
and find him there: old joseph batuk...\'
6) \'ol\' grandfather and me...
i liked to test horses for a gallop...
he would... tease some others with
an apple and a sugar-cube...
a life so completed but having
to leave one so fucking empty...
i don\'t care if death is so benevolent in her
praises of justice:
as blind as deaf and as tongueless as
she wants to stress herself to be...
i will not dare to cry...
perhaps... a year from now...
when my own presence in this world
is gravitating toward a new assemblance
of anonymity:
when... already...
my neighbours are hollow ushers...
imps and diabolical idling...
at the hospice i want to see death
give birth...
.
.
.
how the death of my grandfather
is less than
the grief already testified by his daughter:
my mother...
and how my father is this...
fucking limbo rubix cube of cipher
decipher cipher decipher...
numb...
when i supposedly burry
my father i will have to borrow burrying
someone else...
but before all that:
i want to chase death and laugh:
you\'s one siding antithesis shadow!
you\'s a shadow!
ha ha! i want to become this
inglorious... fester...
as to how death is defeated...
it\'s appreciated too literally...
it needs to be...
i can\'t allow death its grandiosity of
metaphors and church / clerical whimsical churns...
death is death is...
the beauty of the scents of autumn...\'

For what end do \'they\' strive to besmirch all these geniuses, surely its not purely because \'they\' -themselves couldn\'t cultivate a shadow to hold-up in the face of such wordsmith masters, with what feeble effort\'s they could muster...

All stemming from our unending fascination with context: \'see, if I demonstrate my understanding of why or how this writer was influenced by the circumstantial timeline of events circulating around the date the writing was conceived, then clearly if I had been there and been under those same influences = I would have easily penned this exact same classic - most assuredly, I guarantee with my logic\'s assembly-line Degree of sanctified certainty...\'

This BS is worse than the games those Political kindergartener\'s play, at least they have the ability to throw it back at each other!
😤 ahem... excuse me for \'going off\' in your comments section, but I own both these books and each have their own unique merit!

walking, \"again\"

1) \'that painting is all eye
that poetry is all ear and perhaps
the tongue too...
oculus per oculus: eye for an eye...
i allow myself to drink to excess
tonight,
because what i really want to write
is what i gathered from this
afternoon...
autumnal promenade...
these trees and the sunlight raising
them... to trans-natural realism\'s heights...
it does \'elp to merely take
a stroll...
it\'s beyond comparison:
i dared to think: and if i took a photograph...
no... a photograph would
make me sulk...
i would keep it as something
both horrid and both saddening -
mind you: my memory bank
is running dry and i much prefer
to take photographs with
a blinking of an eye
to expand my memory hoard(ing)...\'
2) \'it was never an intended piccadilly circus
bulwark of rape neon...
insomnia neon and incognito -
the middle of this drab
of london bothers me from time to time...
from: time to time...\'
\'i\'ve already chosen anecdotal
points of familiarity...
celebrity trees -
trees like signatures like:
everything else that is also a tree
but is so generic it can\'t stand alone...
it needs a canvas a window or a view...
then those trees that... i swear they are
so: unto themselves that
i wouldn\'t require a mirror to peer
at myself...
sure... upon reaching a pinnacle
of cubism... painting new abstract:
a best a verbiage and forever this extension
of psychoanalysis -
at best this verbiage and...
what is it that they called it:
base: introspection of the self...
well... that\'s already a doubling of
the act...\'
3) \'i want this orgy of verbiage...
to impress details of fracture
and \"fiction\"...
i want to return to the ancient
vernacular...
for all i want i must not never
hope to conceive as: outright will...
to hell with a freedom
so ill-advised...
in these pastures where old
ergonomics: horses - graze...
i heave a thumb... a fattening

1) \'that painting is all eye
that poetry is all ear and perhaps
the tongue too...
oculus per oculus: eye for an eye...
i allow myself to drink to excess
tonight,
because what i really want to write
is what i gathered from this
afternoon...
autumnal promenade...
these trees and the sunlight raising
them... to trans-natural realism\'s heights...
it does \'elp to merely take
a stroll...
it\'s beyond comparison:
i dared to think: and if i took a photograph...
no... a photograph would
make me sulk...
i would keep it as something
both horrid and both saddening -
mind you: my memory bank
is running dry and i much prefer
to take photographs with
a blinking of an eye
to expand my memory hoard(ing)...\'
2) \'it was never an intended piccadilly circus
bulwark of rape neon...
insomnia neon and incognito -
the middle of this drab
of london bothers me from time to time...
from: time to time...\'
\'i\'ve already chosen anecdotal
points of familiarity...
celebrity trees -
trees like signatures like:
everything else that is also a tree
but is so generic it can\'t stand alone...
it needs a canvas a window or a view...
then those trees that... i swear they are
so: unto themselves that
i wouldn\'t require a mirror to peer
at myself...
sure... upon reaching a pinnacle
of cubism... painting new abstract:
a best a verbiage and forever this extension
of psychoanalysis -
at best this verbiage and...
what is it that they called it:
base: introspection of the self...
well... that\'s already a doubling of
the act...\'
3) \'i want this orgy of verbiage...
to impress details of fracture
and \"fiction\"...
i want to return to the ancient
vernacular...
for all i want i must not never
hope to conceive as: outright will...
to hell with a freedom
so ill-advised...
in these pastures where old
ergonomics: horses - graze...
i heave a thumb... a fattening
of it... i experience creases best known
to the advent of the corruption of paper...
but i am not using any of it (i.e. paper)...\'

I\'ll highlight what you try to hide:
1) \'my new earned pleasure:
to walk is better than to talk...
yet even i found myself talking
to the wind:\'
2) \'words architecture,
words architecture...
word... ugh... architecture...
words grammar architecture...
it\'s not that it\'s ugly...
it\'s just so well-arrived-at...
it\'s pristine... unshakeable...
words, grammar... architecture...\'
3) \'it\'s not merely... impossible...
this of the fewest least...
it\'s this rugged tease of
an avalanche...
a stampede...
when in fact... it was merely
a wriggling of a centipede.\'
4) and sex has become one of those: metaphors...
drawing water from a stone...
i\'m too tired of wanting what isn\'t readily available...
in the availability of a harem...
i\'m too tired to want
what i must, most necessarily
never have...\'

you will scare away a lot of readers by the simple scope of your ambitious efforts and the bold authenticity of your brave - self-defining remarks,
still though: it is their loss, for you hide unquestionable gems amongst the rough aesthetic of your writes,

oh my, what a talent you\'ve let us glimpse with this monumental effort!
yes this work is raw, yes it is four or five subjects - themes worth of poetic content stuffed unceremoniously into one unravelling and (at times) ramblingly opinionated work, BUT!
just purely by its poetic ambition alone, this is a great read, if we then take the time to break-down and highlight some of its brilliant sections, this is some of the best poetry I have ever read!
Please, please continue to write and fine-tune your skills so that you can let the world sample more of your enormous talent...
(1) \'passed from one sentiment (ladder) to the next gluttonous serpent... as much as there was a \"search\" and a... \"lost time\"... missing the train...\'
(2) \'there\'s the same sterile prone to state brick: beside those that crease plumbing gifts and grit...\'
(3) \'there is no shape for rummage among dough of stone sorrow settled for the eternity of rain: and rhyming...
a borrowed journalism of sort:
an extract at best...\'

Wow. Loved the bits they shine like the sun striking crystal.
e.g.,
this exile of primo ego...
this grief this first tongue learned...
this harnessed last of all
possible tenures...
how i wished to escape
this gravity prone soviet -
this magdeburgian oath...
this late berliner to the party...
my macbeth my tired sorrow...
a song of ditched woe to have wed:
assorted choice of gowns!
I will need several reads to parse the wonder of the whole adventure through history. Good job.
