I COULD HAVE GONE ..... I was invited
but I had nobody to go with
To Go or not To Go ~ that was the QUESTION ?
we talked endlessly about Wind Turbans
elegant or ugly ..... curse or blessing
what about the fish ? nobody ever considers
their feelings ~ and im a pescatarian !
and so are all my CATZ ~ they all love FIIIIIIIISH !
Im also allergic to Saxaphones ~ a silly instrument
neither flute nor fluglehorn ~ I hate all instruments
which prevent me singing ~ I hate oysters
for the same reason ~ and my labeeeeeeedo is high enough !
I enjoyed the filum ~ paradox of humour & horror
some walked out at half-time ~ raining so some walked in ?
Max Umbrella is a lightning conductor ~ and always was
sorry to miss croquet & buffet ~ *say la vee !*
Could I have gone ? invited ? I was !
but who to go with ? that is the QUESTION !
Thanks for enjoying ~ welcome comments ~ BRIAN the BRAIN
If a Modern Poem has lines (some don't) there is always an
odd number ~ preferably prime 11 13 19 23 29 etcetera
this will prevent the Muse Police from dividing them into
a neat presentation of even stanzas or rhyming couplets.
A modern poetry should have neither rhyme or reason and
the above almost qualifies ! The BEAUTY of Modern Poetry
is indeed its BEAUTY ! Why not write one yourself ? !

You mean the Royal Wedding? You could have gone, but you turned down the invite? I'm going! lol.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhh ~ We are not supposed to broadcast our invitation ! ANGELA is related to HARRY ~ but she will be in AUCKLAND (NZ) on the day ~ so I promised I would not go without her ! I'll be watching it in the House of Commons TV Room with my friend Jeremy ~ a chip butty and a Pint of Golden Hen ! Will look out for you in the CROWD ! Your BRIAN
You are right it certainly does not have rhyme or reason but is great fun to read.
My ENGLISH LITERATURE Tutor was a Modern Poet and she taught us that our Poems should have MYSTIQUE ~ their subject should not be immediately obvious ! Because I am a Scientist by profession ~ most of my poems are CONCRETE and lack MYSTIQUE. Pleased you enjoyed my Modern Poem ~ I don't understand it either ~ a shared enigma !
The time has come ~ the Walrus said
To talk of many things ~ of Ships and
Shoes & Sealing Wax of Cabbages & Kings
And why the Sea is boiling hot ~ and
Whether pigs have wings ~ or NOT
Modern / Nonsense Poetry always FUN
Thanks for you comment ~ BRIAN
A fun read Brian - must look into the form.
Ahhhhhhhhhh MISTER MIKE ~ as Jango Rheihardt would say ~ Zer is no score (form) it is all in ze \'ed ! To many that IS THE BEAUTY of Modern Poetry ~ no structure ~ no rules ~ no grammar ~ no rhyme ~ no reason ~ AMEN ! You will find plenty of other examples on MPS ! OUTLOOK was a great protagonist ! Thanks for the comment ~ Yours BRIAN
Very nice poem brains as always It seemed somewhat whimsical, Keep up the good work

THANKS THETA ~ It is of course intentionally "whimsical" to make a point about Modern Poetry. I found it much more difficult to write than my "normal" Poems which are replete with both Rhyme & reason ! Yours BRIAN
A fun read-you listed it under "fable" but now I guess your secret is out. You got an invite? Lucky you! An interesting read. Sister Christina
THANKS SISTER ~ I listed it under FABLE because there is not a FABULOUS catagory ! Pleased you liked it ~ it was more difficult to write than a "normal" Poem because it is so enigmatic and non-sensible ! There are many levels of invitation to a ROYAL WEDDING but I will watch it on TV and Angela will also watch it on TV on the other side of the World at midnight ~ I don't like time zones it makes conversation between the UK and the USA & New Zealand etc more difficult as you know ! Thanks for your comment ~ HUGS ~ Hermanos Angela y Brian @@@@@@@ (7 perfect cuddles !)
This is a great read! You make great poems!! Can’t wait to see more from you!!
HI ADRIANNA ~ Love your CAT ~ I like TABBIES ! I'm a Scientist so my poems are generally very OBJECTIVE ~ I find it difficult to write MODERN POETRY without rhyme or reason ! Thanks for adding me as an MPS FRIEND ~ Yours BRIAN
