Thor roared his frustration across a malignant sky and pissed his anger and fury onto a burning, ravaged land - ^This is my haiku, the poetry of the true and ancient gods, read it and weep, motherfuckerz, read it and f*****g weep, hahahahaha
Thor is a bit of a mad one, but his haiku are pretty epic. Judging by this, anyway. Living haiku where anger becomes energy and impacts everything within pissing distance. When I read the old myths, there is a sense that creation--the way people imagined creation--is a kind of poetry. Or perhaps poetry precedes creation and it is the poetry of everything that makes the world beautiful and terrifying and all the things it can be simultaneously.
Kind of like the chicken/egg scenario. Not really possible to know which came first since we weren't there to see life crawl from the water or a giant's teeth become boulders or Thor's piss become rain...or what have you. But, clearly Thor knows. And he is proud of his understanding. And paints the sky with his passion which is in this instance anger. Which encapsulates so much of the earth's energy. At least it seems like anger sometimes with the violence that results from the earth and its leanings.
I'm just rambling, obviously, but I like the way this poem made me think about the matter of life for a moment. In a different way. And the hang of the title just lends itself to that too. Good stuff.

Glad you enjoyed thanks, Elis, a few have read it and you are the first to review, and I gather that.. read moreGlad you enjoyed thanks, Elis, a few have read it and you are the first to review, and I gather that some on here are a bit daunted about reviewing after you, lol, so thanks for that, re the chicken and the egg, it was the egg, chickens are related to dinosaurs and they laid eggs,
As long as he keeps pissing on Australia and dampens the burning forests I’m good:) praise Thor! I wonder if he would mind pissing over Washington DC for a while they could use a good cleansing...

Caged In An Animal's Mind
Caged in an animal's mind;
No wish to be more or else
Than I am; a smile and a grief
Of breath that thinks with its blood,
Yet straining despite; unsure
In my stir .. more..
