In protest to some modernist teachings

I wanna wing my abstractions in flared brushes
dipped in frightening rays of fiery flight
soaring above your passionless pit of poetic posturings
and shit some sense into your unopened view,
because We sir, are your peers!

I wanna misuse your precious language
until it's not only accepted, but expected.
I wanna fuck Plath in her silvery mouth
after pounding Ezra's stale metaphors
up his racist white ass, all while watching
your reactions, glory in your disgust and the
ill attempts to look away.

Turn your back if you will; but if you awaken
incredibly violated, my job was done.

in a piece with so much attitude and balls, i found
the ending sounded like grand-standing...a little
in the tone of that which this poem is slagging off...
however, that's just my ear.
though i think you could say it in a much
grittier, down-and-dirty way, i have nothing
better to offer, so take the crit as you will

apart from that,

...well... mr moonman, i do believe
i need a cigarette now...
(is it weird i found this exciting?)

HUGE kudos for this excellent piece,
and if i may borrow from kailashana...?

FUCK YEAH!

cheers

You are so damn right about the ending, it was the one
part I wasn't happy with and now I know why, it really is
grand-standy, where's the grit ... I need to send it home on
that line and what I have doesn't quite cut it.

(thinking cap on now)

you need a cigarette (lol) ... well then!!!

I no longer call things 'ballsy' since I heard Betty White say “Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding”. So this piece is vaginesque!

Got to agree with P. about the ending.

"my ill attempts to look away" failed indeed!
Duly drawn in and quartered! Loved it!
Happy Yule tide greetings too b.t.w.

themoonman

A happy late Yuletide to you!

I tried something different on the ending,
perhaps this has more kick in the pants so to speak (lol)

By George, he's got it! (I would use the present tense.. my job IS done)

Much love, moonman, you'll always be one of my heroes.

Great write and very vaginesque as seems to be the new word, I still have the old fashioned kit, and feel inadequate, Yours Ian.T
