yesterday's verse

Broken poetry lost its rhyme

     etched in a fit of raging volition 

sketchy melodrama pluck'd center stage

    took a forced bow in gust's emotions

genuflected in yesterday's feather'd verse

       perused of prayer's sing song devotion

darkly caged birds chirp'd manifestations  

     verbiage's repulsed twist of fate

took a dive off metaphorical mental cliffs

      landed in puddle of ingrate's diction

paradox of loquacity's silent stares   

       argued mediocrity's sublimity at

           quarter to insanity of rhythm'd time

As long as you don't know what i'm wearing when I'm having a cuppa, it's all good haha

[jacob erin-cilberto]

wonderful wordplay and alliteration that just sings...poetry has a life of its own.

we do metaphors and personification, but we are really marionettes whose fingers are moved by the poetry, not the other way around.

[Frieda P]

I do believe that's true jacob, poetry breathes, balances and falters, we just follow along...thanks so much for your insightful words.

[Deuces]

You know I have my own interpretation for everything. I took this as poetry being personified and taking a heavy blow, almost humbled by the hit. That's my Cynopsis :)

Cryptic, but I took it as poetry's heartbreak. Interesting.

[Frieda P]

You got it in one, oh my, I think we think alike. ;-)

[Deuces]

Come on now. You know that's no surprise :)

[Frieda P]

[LadyAnn68]

I am not sure what you said? Or what you were trying to say but the music is dark so I imagine that the meaning is too

[Frieda P]

Sometimes I'm not sure what I said...ha thanks LadyAnn.

...so profound, so vocabulary wise, so mysterious...

Perhpas there are many things I can't fully grasp of what's this piece intent. It is also amazing how you hide your intent in such intricate manner yet so beautiful to read... with all that, this piece gives a feeling of which we are somehow trap in the past, that perhaps we devote ourself too much of the melodrama of yesterday in which we cannot move forward on what's now...

enjoyed it much dear friend.

[Frieda P]
