Paper garden blues...

Gygz · Post by **Gygz** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 9:21 am

My â€˜poetryâ€™ on the subject of forums and the internet..

Written in the last two years and collected together from various threads in no particular order.. Some are just quick sketches written on the spur of the moment and some took hours.. Sadly you canâ€™t really tell one from the other.. hmmm.

~

THE TROLL..

Once I saw a troll; who sat beneath a tree.

He told me he was better than I could ever be.

I said not a word but smiled at this **** poor repartee.

â€œYou say nothing?â€ He said â€œ: so I think you must agree.â€

â€œNothing is what Iâ€™m telling you Troll. Try talking to the tree.

If I respond to f**king stupid, how stupid would that make me?

~

THE SPAMMER.

Mediocrity let's lose your bastard child.

Theyâ€™re typing crap, Theyâ€™re spamming wild.

Spewing words like verbal suppositories.

Retching up endless written atrocities.

Quoting sweet scented wisdom, piety in pornocracy,

to mask the stench of teenage hypocrisy.

Mediocrity lets waste this waste of breath.

Before they bore us all to death.

~

PAPER GARDEN BLUES..

So drops the acid fairy,

Into the mind of the unawary.

Intoxication bated my willful breath;

As cool the rise of a lingering death.

And so it was with I.

All shod in sunlight and with lips to thigh.

Dressed in her many splendid lie.

Drowning in the inviolate beds;

Of the paper garden blues, and reds.

So stops the acid fairy.

There to find the foolishly wary.

Poisons to steel the breath.

Death by black silk lingerie no less.

Or so it seemed to me.

All grown in a mystery she lies.

Each last breath, each lover sighs.

In the luscious garden hues,

of the paper gardens reds, and blues.

~

IDLE WIRE

F**k are we bored tonight.

Are the words to ebb so trite.

In and out the muddy myrrh.

clarity lost on steely wire.

~

FORUM FOG.

Forum fog has descended on a labyrinthine mess.

Which fool said nothing succeeds like excess ?

Another wave, another fragile truth;

to sink into the sands of restless youth.

Perpetual emotion on a darkened shore.

(Thereâ€™s another bright spark for the damp human flaw.)

What are we all doing here but stacking the shelves;

with loose definitions of our tin-idol selves.

â€œBut wait, out there, On the waves, proof in quotes.

Some of the droplets do sparkle, but â€˜sh*t always floatsâ€™.

~

SHY (I F**ked my friend )

I watched you shy of the mirror,

Stealing yourself away you shiver to see this rag tag carnival pass. A bedroom spider sits and scrolls and sneers at the spammers, the poets and the trolls.. These dead faced angels will scour each thread to watch for the echo from things they have said. In the insomniacâ€™s vigil at the edge of the web.

And there too, spouting the wisdom of a bygone age, like some flee bitten parrot in a bright electric cage; an odious intellectual turns an erudite ode, as the girl with cat has â€˜ just named it toad â€™.Yet no twinkle in the eye or deep breathy sigh, no laughter will ever intrude, on the rarified air of the cynic who cares to be indifferent and globally rude.

The psychobabble shoppers with their dreary fixes; babble on and on anonâ€™ to the theology mixers. Tourists on a tour of dark lurid spaces, they illuminate the corners to see too fresh faces. Flowers grow too briefly in the darkness here. They shed their petals with sickening cheer. The hot sour breath will deflower all, here

Thanks, I should point out that 'paper garden blues' was written into a post as an example of nonsense poetry, I liked it all the same though..

I was a really bad poet between 15 and 20..........

Dang I thought I could write................

NOT

Do you what is sad is that at 43 years old I finally threw out that poetry I wrote at such a young age. I kept it and always thought it was good..............IT WAS CRAP. It was actually very bad. But we hold on to our youth is some ways and think we must have known something.

If we had known something as a youth..........we would have been published....

youth is a naive poet... maybe you can write better now.

Well ,,. I post poetry wherever I'm posting .. I can't maintain interest in more than one forum at a time and I haven't a clue how others do..

I'd be fascinated to see this poetry site of yours if you send me the URL .I could see yours too

Poetry has never got me wired...

The best I could ever do was snippets in the "Crap Poetry Thread" and that was probably my best...
