"Poem."

[Zarn Ishtare]

"Poem"

This poem can't dance

cant trip along the fripperies

cannot slide along the rays of light

No, these words have no rhythm

or cadence like an incantation

the author cannot angle or invervate

he can not inspire innovation

only aggravate.


There is no beat to this poem

no pitter patter or tom tom moan

there is no high-hat emphamization

emphatically saying, "bap, bap!"

This is not a marketable poem

this is not sampled on tracks.


This poem cannot sing

It cannot find a vocalist

this poem has no lines

it's a nonverbal spoken word poem.


This poem in not marketable

this is a "mark for display" poem

This poem is not available anywhere

this is a scarcity value poem


This is not an original poem,
this poem was written before
this poem will be written again
this is a thousand monkeys banging on type-writers poem
this is my mind virus poem
but it's still my poem. Yes, it's still my poem.

[Koneko-chan]

I really love this! I think you made a wonderful poem.

[SierraLea]

I loved the playful content of the poem. What's really funny is that a lot of your lines follow Iaan iambic rhythm, which means every two syllables go bump BUMP. But that just makes it funnier to me.
