30 in 30 Companion Thread

[Piscator]

Some days,
I feel especially
disjointed,

like Life has decided
it was time for
a series of
overly prominent
ebbs and flows
about me breaking
everything up
into small snippets
of imagery and/or
sound surrounded
by every ellipse
known to Man,

Makes me feel like
Bill Shatner having to
perform dialogue
written by
Mamet.

We usually do too, but I was going for something more intimate--and I know a lot of his friends call him Bill--plus, the single syllable seemed to work better than the multi-syllabic 'William'.

re remec's 11-9

love those central lines - very very. visual, tongue-curly, twistery. perfect.

 

[HarryHill]

Back online, starting again although I have been writing one a day while in limbo, now to clear my e-mails.

 

[butters]

that looks like a rabbit on the barbeque


Harry, tell me about the references to prince charles in that poem. loving the visuals of you sketching and refining your airship

remec, always a pleasure to read you and i feel in good company taking the 30-30 plunge again. hardly written in over a year!

omg *drool*

sir, of course, not prince. *bangs head* now that makes much more sense

 

[butters]

aw, harry's number 3 -

remec, that's a really interesting last piece. pulls me in, pushes me away, draws me back in with a dream-like quality

Agree, nice mix/weaving of the mythical and personal?

I know I've been quiet as a mouse, but I'm enjoying your 30-30s, folks, and reading. Today I found out that butters' consternation over forms made her poem fall into utter discombobulation, that Remec really knows his stain removers and that Harry is a porn addict (which I think I already knew cos he's here ).

You rawk, poets. You really do!

Stoppit!!! It's lovely.

OMG! Just seen this! dreadful boy!
Many years ago a certain lady poet got many other lady poets to change their profile picture to one of their boobs for an hour

I totally understand the current obsession, although I wrote a poem about an entirely different part of her anatomy based on an avatar she had up at the time.

I really liked butters' 16-1 and will have to go back and revisit when I have time.

I agree, it's hard enough producing a poem a day but to come up with original ideas is even more of a challenge, our butters is on a roll. In fact, all the participants are doing so well - some definite keepers in the collection.

 

[Angeline]

I'll third that: 16-1 is nimble and meaningful. That's not easy to accomplish imo.

Same here. I had to leave to pick up my wife at the airport and didn't have time to comment. This is a "wow!" I hope to write something more about it.

Reminded me of "Alice in Wonderland," very surreal; I almost want to say ethereal.

There were a lot of layers to this for me. I like how butters took an abstraction and loaded it with images that expanded my thinking about Time.

 

[butters]

well thankyou, everyone, for the 30-30 support! with the kids moved out there's a wee bit more poetry-head time and i'm enjoying reading everyone elses contributions as well as writing. some work better than others

 

[butters]

those last 5 or 6 lines in remec's 22 are a real sucker punch

remec, is this based on a real story? it feels so genuine.

Only in the sense of Marvel's "What if?" series or a glimpse of potential futures in the manner of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come...one of those bleak outcomes that arise to tease and taunt a person when at one of those spiritual/emotional lows that come along when you least expect it.

dropped the poetry ball last night, sleep-drugged, so i'll just restart again today
