Preaching to van Gogh's missing ear...

~just another rant

Steamy ink boiled over

the kettle of opportunistic metaphors

poison'd doses in gray's gangrene slur, 

don't attempt to sleep in my mouth

like a w***e in head, the sword in bed

taboo artistes in monotonic ambivalent jaws

clamping down without remorse

chomp'd away at an asunder analogy

piss'd in my jeans and expect'd to get fed

spit it out on the polar opposite cafe floor

unicorns dwellings of butter'd blessings

broken bread & barely berry wine of Monet's encores

bite the ear that fed you preaching van Gogh

perhaps they'll listen for insanity to be set free

confining rules taught us naught to stutter

pay your monopoly dues in bleakest sermons

pass the bucket of superiority's conquests

bled of analgesic ego's epic divided faction's fiction

don't forget to wipe your shadow on the way out

[Tai Ryens]

So many lines that have left me awestruck, where do I begin?

First off, that title: brilliant, as clever as the phrase "For Stevie Wonder's eyes only!"
Speaking of the ear, are they preaching to a deaf person or appealing to the severed ear? Either way is equally useless, yet they present forth two clashing states: one, an ear without a head to actually hear the words spoken and two, preaching to a body with no ear (refusing to actually listen and just deafly agreeing to what's being said).
Then you go on to speak of men who gnash jaws but mean nothing, speaking of beliefs they might not even believe themselves. Those words could even be poisonous to those that ingest it, inflicting a sickness that is able to spread quickly through the tongue.
After saying so, you go on comparing it to "unicorn dwellings" then appeal to the insanity of van Gogh, and end it by referring to the cycle as just a means to build money through a contest competing with other products of other imaginations . . .

Marvelously breathtaking, friend, I must say this is one of my favorites from you. I envy you for penning this exquisite, impressive piece.

I like where you began Tai...not sure exactly what the Stevie Wonder remark pertains to but sort of like that yes. You make me find new meaning in my own words when I read your responses, thanks so much....

[Tai Ryens]

Oh, it's the first thing that came to mind and just another phrase that makes me giggle, both the Stevie Wonder remark and your chosen title derive the same response out of me, aha.
Just interpreting literature in my own way, I'm glad you find them intellectual :P

[icelandicblue]

Wipe you shadow on your way what a killer line. Those who most need to listen never do. I'm just happy he didn't remove his tongue...sometimes the voices get so damn loud.

[Frieda P]

Yes indeed they do Anne, thanks... jazz'd you enjoyed my hissy fit. :-)

[icelandicblue]

Fits are good, I tend to internalize then write my dark and desolate landscape I call poetry.

[Frieda P]

Vocally sometimes maybe, just to keep the peace, but with poetry it's all good, isn't that one it's for? ;-)

[icelandicblue]

Absolutely...that why I look for shards of glass in the splendor of the gloom. You rock Frieda.

[Frieda P]

Splendor in the gloomy shard'd grass, I like that. ;-) So do you my friend.

[icelandicblue]

I'm like a crow, I like shiny things.

[Frieda P]

ooooh shiny things, wait....what were you saying? ;-P

[icelandicblue]

See even Steve thinks it's about a cow.. a holy one at that.

[Frieda P]

Cows, crows...it's like a menagerie in here... ;-)

[writing mojo]

What a down ward, up ward, back ward, psyche ward for words you have galled us with in such gifted typo negative thought...WOW amazing piece

[Frieda P]

Oh I like that...there's got to be a poem in there somewhere mojo...'psyche ward for words'...thanks so much.

[Jack...]

Dancing on someone's toes in the midst of an angered and seemingly off key song. It seems that some where along the line well...some line was crossed and the sand swirled up to kick them in the a*s or perhaps someplace out of front of that.

Still the words swing hard and fast and I can only hope they hit their intended target. Very riveting my sweet friend.

[Frieda P]

Probably not Jack, you know how that goes, people never think it's them and point the finger at someone else....thanks muchly.

[Tina Louise UK]

Now that's how to vent in style! Love it! ....love the video too :) x

[Frieda P]

Thanks Tia, if you're gonna vent, have a glass of champagne whilst doing so. hahah, I love Jill Tracy, she's really different, jazz'd you enjoyed. :-) x

[paddy d daly]

have no idea what to say about this, my head hurts missus, where do you go to find such things!

[Frieda P]

Sorry, take two Excedrin and call me in the ayem. ;-)

[paddy d daly]

now it's even worse, what the hell is Excedrin, think I might try some Panadol, are we speakin' two different languages here!

[Frieda P]

Ha I know Panadol...it's an over the counter pain reliever is all, I know, you'd think I was speaking Latin for fook's sake!!

[paddy d daly]

damn, you are so much more clever than I am, for fook's sake!! by the way I think there has to be a bit of an irish biddy in you!

[Frieda P]

That's too funny, the same thing my friend from Ireland says and I call her an Italiano wannabe!

[paddy d daly]

I have to go away now and drift into my mind, maybe come up with some bs' that no one will understand, not even me.....

[Frieda P]

Ha welcome to my world................

[paddy d daly]

and what a pleasure to be part of it...

[Frieda P]

You might be sorry, bite your tongue....haha ;-)

[gombeggar]

broken bread & barely berry wine of Monet's encores

now that is a hip wording

[Frieda P]

Thanks muchly gombeggar....

[kublakhan27]

Holy cow Mrs.R, where do I start with this one? I guess I'll start with this: don't attempt to sleep in my mouth / like a w***e in head, the sword in bed...wow, there are a lot of dark and musty corners in those lines, not to mention the last line which is money. Now I've been told that my metaphors are good, but Van Gogh's ear? That's PERFECT...and through all the vitriol you still manage to work Monet into it, which veers close to comic relief against the backdrop of these sentiments. I wish my rants were this exquisite my friend...another knockout piece :) xo

[Frieda P]

Well I'm really jazz'd you enjoyed this one Benji, you should recognize where it came from...erhum, just pluck'd it from a little tidbit of a conversation we had. ;-) Not saying what....but you know. ;-P xo

[kublakhan27]

Haha I did recognize it Mrs.R, and yes I know ;P Needless to say this is a no-brainer for my library ;) xo

[jacob erin-cilberto]

spooky video...love it..

madness, writing, the artist goes crazy...cuts the other ear off.

you have such an extensive vocabulary, and use it so well...

i have to change my jeans now.......

[Frieda P]

Woo thanks jacob, means a lot coming from you....jazz'd you enjoy'd my rant & the video, she's freaky, I love her.

[s y e]

You're leaving me completely speechless here Frieda. Who peed in your frosties this morning? ;-) haha. I loved this rant, even with a rant you hit the bullseye!

[Frieda P]

Ha pick an asshat chiquita. Actually I wrote this one after a discussion with a pal of our's, no, it's not about them.;-) Grazie mille!

[s y e]

Is the pal gonna be a mystery or can I know? LOL, imagine if it was, what a burn on their behalf....ooops.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well what got on your last good nerve? This is a very awesome rant chica.

[Frieda P]

Ha just another asshat...grazie pazzo!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Well there seems to be an endless supply of said asshats. You are welcome:)

[Frieda P]

Ain't that the truth, I wish they'd lose my PM address. ;-)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Ha fook them all I say not literally ya hear lol

[Frieda P]

[Frieda P]
