At the Speed of Thought (Part 2)

Another semi-improvisational poem, written "at the speed of thought." (Thanks SquinklaPsyOps!)

Wildly spinning infinitely disastrous

chaotic plums in the depths of mortal madness

besieged by bursts of ballistic struggle!!

fromulgated in festering flippancies.

dizzied by delirious dancing, the demons

possess my destitute fantasies. Words come

bleeding from mastracated skin, the

injurious bites of blasphemous speech!!

sentries spear the cyborgs infinitely,

stalemated, incapable of making sensory

contact. It's chaotic masonry, imagry

fluralizing at

flailable rates of inalienable

magery, magically asteroiding static

explosions in hidden galaxies, act-

statizing banal baked astral-

gized aches and agonies, filled

with bursts of BLEVE blood!!

ulcerated, undulating umbras shadow

my sheer straight saber, killing carbonized

cacophonous music, margarine-like blocks

of thought bulging in the mental column,

CURSE them!! chaosally create

in a canopy of

canal thought

caves of catastrophe,

castles in which the

stratagems scale brick walls,

bleeding, burgeoning breakless

aching for

words,

wailing...

but then sailing

upon

aquamarine

visions

once

again.

Author's Note

There are quite a few made-up words in here. Initially, there were some spelling errors, but I decided to leave those in.

I am loving this little trilogy you have going Eric, I'm a bit behind in your writes due to my RR's being off as I have exams. But I am slowly getting back and I've had the nerve to turn my RR's back on... YIKES! ;-)

I loved this, you go into such depths in your poems that it takes a couple of reads to get the full gist of what you're trying to say... sometimes I have to read it out loud and then to my Gran who I think gets blown away by the intensity, ha. I really loved this one, it could maybe be interpreted in different ways, but I love that!

[Eric Pudalov]

Thank you very much, Noodle!! I almost missed this awesome review. What did your Gran think?? (Well, I suppose you said she gets blown away by the intensity...you must have an awesome Gran.) I definitely think this could be interpreted in different ways...sometimes I even look back at the stuff I've written and see different meanings. Does that ever happen to you? That is one of the coolest things about poetry, IMHO.

[Great Aunt Astri]

I am not sure I understood a word of this poem, so I went back and read it again aloud. WOW, did it sound powerful! The very interesting picture complimented it well. Well done!

[Eric Pudalov]

Wow!! Thanks Auntie Astri!! To tell the truth, even *I* find it a little hard to understand at first, because I wrote it without thinking about the meanings of the words. It's a great poetry experiment - try it sometime, you never know what you'll come up with!

[Great Aunt Astri]

I used to do that, but I wrote such nonsense that I started applying a little thought. Actually, I tell a lie, sometimes I came up with something amazing ... but that was an exception to the rule!

[Lyn Anderson]

Ahh, this is brilliant again. It is like an adventure inside the mind.

[Bright Ocean Star]

Eric, the alliteration went off the tracks in this one....but in a good way. It was a really nicely done piece of chaotic conflagration....crazy as a Hoot! Thank you for sharing this with us. Nice work, my friend...

[Eric Pudalov]

Thank you, Bright!! I have to agree, there was almost too much alliteration here, but that's what came to mind as I was writing it. I see you've added in a bit of your own - "chaotic conflagration" sounds like the title of a new poem, perhaps!

[Bright Ocean Star]

Not mine....at least I don't think so. I write what comes to mind...whatever the muse directs me to pen...Take care, my friend.

[Eric Pudalov]

Ha, so wonderful Eric, I made this review, but something got wrong, with WC, I said, it's wonderful you were inspied by my Raven Sis, Anika.....

There is such an immense pace in your piece, and such profound visceral course of colorful paths that by studying the person, (my Raven Sis) you walked it makes an almost Salvador Dali vision, of words, colorful spectra you bring in words/wording ... one that I'll save, and gets a hundred well deserved oil points. ;-)

I have to study this through time, and will ... more and more, and I am a person who does return each year to see if my vision is changed by what someone "then" has written.
For now, I so enjoyed this, it's close to my heart... and I hope hers too.

[Eric Pudalov]

Ah, I appreciate you reading and reviewing so much, Eli...now that I have stopped harassing you for reviews. ;-) I really love how you take the time to write out your true thoughts - I didn't know that her name was Anika, actually...but I can see how the poem is very Daliesque! He is one of my favorite artists, actually, and I love the Surrealist period in particular. The art reminds me very much of dreams, and I feel that some of my dreams have a lot of meaning...in fact, I seem to be "sharing" dreams with people lately - know what I mean? ;-)

One of my favorite artists too, ;) for his mind goes beyond... and I love that about him.
And if people harassing or not, I just keep relaxed, and come by when I want lol... I learn them what patience is... it should be relaxed no? :D and real meant, like here I truly did. Buddy you write awesome, and I shall come by for more. I know exactly what you mean, hence to the last part... I do. ;-)

Wow! This is a plethora of chaos... a very colorful expression, Eric!
I like how you have experimented with your play on words... it's a mix of illusion, technology, and the cosmos... a dizzying effect on warp speed!....Nicely done!

[Eric Pudalov]

Thanks Robbie!! Yes, that's something I've been into lately (experimentation). Honestly, I wasn't entirely sure what it meant until I read it back to myself; I really just scribbled it out on paper to see what would come out.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Hey, it's nice to read something different.....write on! :)
