Epoch of Mass Deletion

Epoch of Mass Deletion

A Writer's Cafe exclusive. Something I have been thinking about since the accidental deletion of everyones' writings. Giving the situation similiar status to the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Epoch of Mass Deletion

 

Syllables graze

Upon the page

Amongst similes

And metaphors alike

As onomatopoeia buzzes about,

Alliterating thought,

Unaware of the coming plight.

 

Verbage soars

Through the sonnet fields

Seeking shelter

From the nature

Of haiku,

Its story, once upon a time,

Dwelt within poetic flight.

 

Wisdom roams,

Adjectively defined,

While hunting punctuation

Beneath participles dangling

From ideas blooming

In the brilliance of thought,

Birthed in both darkness and light.

 

The scene tranquil

Suddenly disrupted.

Words run-on, rampant,

Sentenced to silence

As the finger of God

Falls upon "delete"

Without rhyme or reason in sight.

Were you drinking or on med.s when you wrote this? Most people have to be in order to create something with abosolutely no walls. This piece is like pure raw imagination, unfiltered, uncensored and uninhibited. I love it for its ability to tranverse. In fact its that very nature about it that might have me misinturpreting it. Maybe not. Either way I gave you salute for having the ability to let it all hang out like that.

Hi, My Friend,

Another powerful piece. And you deservedly did well in the "IMAGERY" contest, taking 1st and 2nd place (this piece). Another wonderful effort.

All my best. It's been a long time since we've exchanged words. Hope all is well with you.

High marks!

Best regards,

Rick

Wow! This feild of poetic creatures seem to have disappeared, have they not? I can actally visualize all these individiaul word forms, just roaming around the feilds of sonnets sprouting about in bloom, while the syllables graze upon the page. Ah, this is the epitomy of words! You are a genius!

Ah the wild grazing syllables, a wonderful play on words with words. I did a similar poem once, where I tried combining every poetic tactic into one poem, they are fun to write and fun to read.

This is a really brilliant idea, I like how you built throughout the piece to the sudden tragedy, the only thing I would have liked is to feel a little more what the letters, words, meanings felt as they were being deleted for no discernible reason. Great work!

Excellent!!! I really enjoyed reading this... though I didn't enjoy experiencing the "great disappearing act" when it happened.

Definitely going to check out the rest of your writing when I get a chance.
