Dig

DIG

Can you dig it?

wrenching wrist twist

core the apple dig it

would you hook

IT

would you 

peal, pull,  please....

spill spread, separate the

GUT 

INTESTINES of 

life and

gall sensibilities with

liver bleeding lies and

TAKE

metastasized cancer ...putrefied

proliferation blitz newsies???

                                                     can you

                                                                                     dig it?

This poem speaks to me vividly of many things like cancer, E. There’s much in our societies that feels like that, the corruption, the greed and of course the newsies! Yet life itself feels like cancer to me sometimes, with it’s super deep, wide spread, far reaching tentacles into the tender muscles of the earth. Vivid and inspiring words! I loved it! 💕

It's always exhilarating reading poetry that expands our imagination, E. You are welcome!

Oh idk, most of us seem to just take that gut intestines of life and twist it into a slimy ball until there ain't no way to separate it.. 'liver bleeding lies' - I like that. I totally do 'dig' this piece of yours which is an achievement on my part haha ;P
Always interesting to read you, Einstein, even though I most often fall short on words :x

[Einstein Noodle]

and who could ask for more Doc! thanks for giving it a go ;) intestine are pretty slimy no doubt about that!! until they are sundried and stretched ... no one has mentioned my acrostic ...if you fined it you may feel enlightened ;))) and if you check the vid and decide to watch the movie ... everything will be all right ........... kinda! :) love your review my friend ... this kind of thing is not everyones cup of tea ... i really appreciate your taking the time ... i like your opinion on things

[Einstein Noodle]

hi JJ! thank you for reviewing :) even more concrete poetry is taken and applied as readers interpret; but this is admittedly rather oblique and emigmatic .. so really.....anything goes ;) as for political??? yes... especially that bit you refer to... not everyone's cup of tea ...as it should be eh!? thanks so much for visiting

[J. J. Nightingale]

You are Welcome.................:)...

Amazing how the reader sees and feels perhaps what is wanted by self. In your words, I see life and all it spitfalls.. Freudian slip perhaps BUT as good or better than the pits we find ourselfves digging cos that's what fate decrees. Our hearts roam, our body rebels, minds numb or run.. whatever.. it's how it is.

' .. 'an you .. .. .. dig it?' An extrordinary bee buzz of meter and hidden intention of .. well, what you think?! Insignificant apple core to as demolished as one can get by matastasis.

[Einstein Noodle]

:) you dig it don't you emma the lovely! thanks so much .. i have to agree this one is pretty open ended, begun and middled .. in no particular order of course ;} thanks for wading in my friend .. always important to me

[Lydia Shutter]

Raw....great alliteration....and a rhythm to your words that is intoxicating. A good dark eerie one for Halloween, E! "Intestines of life"....wonderful! Lydi**

[Einstein Noodle]

hi Lyd! :) thank you so much! lots of parts to life aren't there ?! :)))))))))))) did you get many trick or treaters at your place? .. Norma and I are in the boondocks and buy the candy for ourselves ;) top o' the mahrnin' to ya!
E.

[Lydia Shutter]

Nope, no trick or treaters here. We live in an over 55 community....they never come in here. Enjoy the candy! Lydi**

[Einstein Noodle]

Loved the movie, didn't even know there was a book.
Thanks...good write, E.N.
I did notice one small error. I think you meant 'peel', not 'peal'.

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks Angel! yeah! great movie .. crazy weird fun to watch ... thanks again for stopping by!

Just sitting here loving the rhythm, loving the force of your words breaking the soil. There is a depth and a devastation that flows through each line, leading us into those darker places so timely for this season. So glad you connected your poetic thoughts to Holes... the book and movie were simply amazing... a perfect pairing!

[Einstein Noodle]

yessss! loved Holes :))) thanks Owly ... i appreciate your taking time to read and watch the video .. makes me day my friend!

Some time and effort has gone into crafting this. I like the retro wording and the serious points that are made. But the killer for me is how it is all wrapped in such consummate wording.

[Einstein Noodle]

super happy you read this one Ken! we are both time pieces of the same sort i think ;) thank you for your generous and encouraging review .. retro forever eh!? ;)))

I can dig anything you write..I really like the blend of words..used herer to set the tone of tearing into life..how do we like those apples..to it grabs you with both hands ..the harsh realities life deals out in the ending verse we probably literally dig with a shovel and tombstone..great pen Mr.E

[Einstein Noodle]

Your poem is a visual delight and feast for thought!
Exceptionally crafted poem, E.
Your trecets are packed with power. And for the last couplet's question, my answer is, I can't dig that " .... putrefied proliferation blitz newsies". Loved your poem, E!

[Einstein Noodle]

isn't it funny how words can affect us so... the can you dig it reels me back to the 50s and 60s ... when the phrase was every other thought process ;} drove my parents crazy ... i am positively thrilled you took the ride on this one Rani! we connected, i have no doubt ... thanks so much for reviewing and your encouraging take on it
E.
