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.

it was "merry go around (my brain is now history)" that seemed to me a massive amount of writing which had little or no meaning, but appeared classy.. I don't think he meant to trick others, thats just my opinion of the poem- how it appeared to me.

Wounded Schoolboy? What are you talking about? The poem isn't an act of retaliation or something, its simply my way of turning my irritation into a artistic output..

Plus I was thinking about Icarus at the time and wanted to write something based on the story, but I didn't have a real idea how to start.. crwncka inspired me despite the fact that I didn't like that particular poem of his.. wounded? Far from it.

I read that poem of his and wrote this a while ago. I didn't post it then because at the time I saw it as one of my "journal entry poems".
