Replying to a comment on:

The birdboy that was (Icarus) (Free verse) by Y2kSlamPoet

It went on and on about nothing. It was a tricksy child attempting to convince others of its non-existent meaning A parrot that droned on and on about nothing Convincing those naive that it was pretty. A birdboy that was defeathered, boiled alive and eaten for supper-- meaning still nothing Turned to fuel so those that heard his futile screams can live to hear the sound of silence.

This thought of icarus being converted to fuel some other thought or inspiration is a good one.

Would be worthy of a poem with it as a central theme. The idea of it can be used in other similar tales - like christ's body used as fertilizer, perhaps (would have to work around the logic problem of the whole stored in a cave thing, though).

As for the rest of this poem, it smacks of an attack on someone, though I don't think the reader is given a solid idea of who - a personal mission perhaps?
