love song (Concrete) by <~>
. How she shrieked when I first laid my eager hands on her Would I ever please her as she now thrilled me? When I first caught sight of her, I wanted her for my own. Enchanted by her golden complexion, her slender neck that angled back just so... her seductive curves and the way she pouted just a little in the middle: gentle swell of belly and a perfect curve behind, set afire: undulating, seducing me. I longed to hold her, to feel her weight on me, to turn her this way and that: to handle her gently. I'd stroke her so she'd sing only for me, in her own sweetly timbered tones. I ran my hands over her frame, traced her f-hole with the tip of my finger, and cradled her in my arms. I pressed her to my chest, and stroked and plucked and drew her out. Though she seemed too tightly strung, I eased into her, softly. I tempered my desire for speed, and patiently sought to learn what she might need so that she would, in time. give me all that I wanted, all I dreamed.

Up the ladder: A prayer for my mum
Down the ladder: My Day Off

Do you play? I am troubled by the shape of things to come. You may start an un-nerving trend amongst the others. Normally I hate art, but music. Yes, that's different, and pleasuring the lotus. Ahhh. Fuck! I broke my F-hole. Damnit that's going to be expensive.

Writer of triangle poems, this sets a new precedence. You could have easily spiraled right down the drain here, but instead you somehow make this thing work on at least three levels. If the cello is not one of the most sensual instruments around, it is now.

Levels schmevels. Haven't you seen The Witches of Eastwick? How could anything be more sensual than Jack Nicholson and some stupid bird playing cello/violin?

Look at the shape Dark Master. It has a top, middle and fate bottom. Three levels, like a mega shopping mall. It even has a butt. And maybe that is Jack's secret to lulling in the 20-something girls at his age. On the other hand, maybe it is his perky love poems. Maybe he writes them all in heart shapes.

fun with shapes!!! fun with shapes!!! it's not meant to be serious, except maybe to seriously stir things up. shape poems remind me of making paperchains with construction paper--just don't eat too much paste. so, it's a silly shape, with a little naughtiness thrown in for good measure. it's been a while, so a body gets to thinking...musical instruments notwithstanding. man, i'm almost sorry i started this. almost. all in good fun, lads. and i hardly consider myself a 'mature poet'. by the variety of stuff i am posting here one might postulate that i am experimenting. you see, when you are a -=Dark_ master, you don't have to stick to form; you can break it to make your point. and what a fine upright point has been made there. nice and thick. i'm sure p&k is all-over jealous: a triangle, and now a violin for me, and, for the master, a sturdy flesh obelisk. "ce n'est pas une pipe." go team!

I wasn't implying that you are a 'mature poet'. I was being ironic in suggesting that 'Dickensian' was mature, when, in fact, it clearly is not mature. And what's all this about 'breaking it up'? I've got the odd extra space here and there to make things fit, and there's a natural gap at the bottom where the testicles live, but surely that's all fine and dandy?

I just re-read my poeme and realised it could easily be interpreted as mocking you/your poeme. It wasn't meant that way. It was meant to be only self-referential. I thought this poeme was qvite good, and cello-shaped. O Jesu what have I done...
[n/a] <~> @ | 15-Aug-02/6:24 PM | Reply
no, i think it was Frass who referred to the "the 'mature' poets and phlegm hockers" , and i figured he was drawing a line between us. i don't recall any phlegm poems from you, (which seems a shame), although he has praised what i have posted on the site. (he even called 'white harvest' dickensian, of which you surely were aware when you titled your 'piece.') glad i have fans. that's not why i do it. the mishapen business--the way you trailed it off at the end... i did not think you were mocking me; i thought you were tongue-in-cheeking the form.

morning z.. care for tennis? anyone. I got too drunk on red wine this morning and gave away my bach-assian identity to the kid from kansas...can you forgive me. i can't! anyway, love the art...i was thinking maybe we could do a whole book on the "shape of things to come" i wish i could come, but alas this town has even stolen that fluid from within. straw toting bastards suck until they purge themselves of mother. oh..brother. I will have to go make another dianyssian lover.o

Thanks for the clarification. I am sorry I sent you in such a rage that you fucked up. I hope that you will not do that again. Frankly, it is cute and probably good practice for your lame attempt at an acting career. It is what a champion poet does. Break down the opposition and make them crack. And you did. And you did. So really, who is the twit and cow fucker, Mr. Hollywood? So Taos is out. Bummer. That is where the true champions meet on the stage.

Wow, thanks for considering us lowly folks. Considering it is you and I, or I and you on this site at this afternoon hour I say we are in the same boat, but you are off to meet movie stars (since you have an in with Jon Voigt can you hook me up with his daughter. I hear she is almost single and goes for cowpokes like me) and I am off to dine with the ex-governor. It is his 50th anniversary with his wife you know. And he is the leader of the LA schools, you know. How long has he been with his mistress? I am so impressed by your success in the Utopia of Clowns. We are in such need of the high art in Hollywood. And from what I have seen, you love my work.

poemeranker fuck no poetandknowit the music of bands that seem to write the same song over and over again is for two kinds of people: adolescents and monomaniacs. I cannot defend the tastes of the first, and even the second, but equally I cannot condemn the second. For often do our finer moments in life come from a short or sustained bout of monomania? How many times have you obsessed over something and therein gained the greatest satisfaction? I have done so many times. Of course, obsession has equal love for disappointment; but is not the lowest Hell nothing when placed next to highest Heaven? When something worms and lodges into that part of your brain labeled 'special', there's no way to avoid obsessing on it, or at least falling into a sort of stupor when presented with anything to do with it. And I believe it's commonly said that obsessions form in childhood. So blame not the people who listen to this music, nor those who create it, but the despicable parents who allow their children to find such FILTH special.
