Dear poet may I suggest you should
write in a way that’s understood
so try and get it into your noddle
there’s nothing worse than pretentious twaddle.

.............. absolutely .. well said sir
In the poetry I am referring to what is applauded by some is actually corrupted by a cacophony of twitlessness leaving only a sense of nihilism and the unlikelihood of a new order where temporal forms become reconfigured through emergent and critical practice and the reader is left with no clue to the possibilities of the verbiage.
We see pretentious twaddle all the time - oh no that is not poets it is politicians!
Andy
We do see it here on MPS from time to time.
Ohhh, let's waffle! Let's use 20 words when 5 will do - every time. But Miss Berles won't let us! lol.
Absolutely - let our waffle start out as hope but with the chance that it will be finessed into a carnival of defeat, leaving only a sense of decadence and no possibility of a new beginning as wavering derivatives become distorted through diligent and academic practice, and the reader is left with an epitaph for the edges of our culture.
Hear hear!
Dave
Pardon?
You are pardoned - but don't let it happen again............
Twere as if his words were soup
served up in a dish
of gobble-de-goop.
May i take this opportunity to loudly applaud the sentiment of your post today.
Thank you for your shimmering applause it resonates as forms become frozen through studious and repetitive practice leaving us all with an insight into the inaccuracies of our condition.

Love Angela Brian & Smokey ! ! !
The mother board has risen into a twaddlefree zone i hope - thanks A&B.
Ah, but I adore many of the contributions that are not easily understood. I understand wanting to push a few toward a somewhat more decipherable output, but there is a place for pushing the envelope. But your position, at least in this poem, is clear enough! LOL
And in your drawing why is the man in the moon trying to set off a bomb with a rock hammer in one hand while dangling a set of measuring spoons in the other?
He's run out of sand to complete the sand castle. 🤔
I should have figured that out!!
yikes, I must reflect on the sense of guilt that resonates deep within, from reading your words, duly noted Michael... what are friends, if not mirrors - reflecting, our shortcomings eh, lol
wonderful write and poignant picture (a one - two punch, measured to help shake some of us with our heads in our arse's: loose, I guess)
No need to feel guilty on your part LB. Doesn't apply to you but there are some whose heads are so far up their own that their faces appear out of their mouths. lol
