The same formula won't
work
for every artist.

others more will falter

How do contraints operate

If they want
Hollywood, just look outside.
There's Marsters
chest just waving in the breeze.
While in this
stupid room I must abide.
I bet that sodding
Marster's chest has fleas.

She came in
armor-plated to the teeth.
And bloody sodding verse
did she bequeath . . .
. . . to your attention
Mister Oracle.
I think if she were here, she'd just
say: "Bull!"

I see dear prunehilda's
verse took you some time
to comprehend all that she
had to say.
Or do you comprehend at all my
friend.
Or simply count the syllables and
rhyme?

The Wherefore
I
cry "I sing the body electric"
Of democracy that good
Walt Whitman
Once wrote. A poet for the common
chick.
And yes, now, hotter flames the wind did
fan.
I'm Boudicca, The Celtic Queen, from
long
Ago...the beauty that did raise her sword
Against convention, to sing her song
against law,
to squash the Roman Lord.
(GOSH)
I need a
cigarette; this sense of bliss!
It must be time to go
the terrace.
(Again, please watch your step
and don't slip in all
that blood.)

So follow along if you

The Spring
While I've been staring
at a backlit screen
It seems that spring began in the
Rockies.
A new sirens song burst forth on the
scene,
A resurrection of sorts. Don't mock
please.
I can't reflect on what it's like
elsewhere.
Perhaps it could be far less
dramatic
But here the world can come alive with
flare,
Snow gone, sky blue: a motion picture
flic.
The grey and white world melts and becomes
lush
And soon brown branches pop with new leaf
green.
Fresh words come to my lips. Metaphors
flush
New life, new hope, new episodes
unseen.
The virtual world now; The terrace
calls.
Under its spell the victims quickly
fall.
(She heads for the terrace)
