Dominant Scrawling

 

Clog clog clogging up, dominant scrawling,

tongues foreshortened every morning;

careless fingers play with qwerty,

shirking beauty, empty

endless asphalt roads to                                                         

 

wag wag wagging tales of water;

heartsink warning, minds in mourning,

words unversed in seventeen lines;

crumbled poesy, boundless

flimsy strings of

 

cc semen

me me mewing

more boar boring

ceaseless spewing

climbing clawing coveted summit

planting flags on a pyramid of shit

you won

you won

an imaginary war

with a poverty of verse and a

 

clog clog clogging up, dominant scrawling,

tongues foreshorten every morning;

careless fingers play with qwerty,

shirking beauty,

 

empty.

Hehe Stu ;)

Hi Laura

Enjoyed this and especially the line 'careless fingers play with Qwerty'. My clogs are sparking.

Very clever idea to put poetry in its place and at the same time display a mastery of the art of it ! I would agree that as with photography I believe, sometimes an experience in the raw can be experimented with in a self indulgent way. But wot the hell, it ain't rocket science - or is it? The log man.

very impressive.

Very interesting - very. Full of references I'm only guessing at, but still being influenced by. What's a 'querty'?

I keep coming back to it to read again and don't know why-except for the fact that I like it.
