A Man that Ate His Own Head
By Wolf Larsen poet writer
An insect flies hallucinating with Manchu Picchu on its back and a mountain swirls around and shakes your hand so you’re clinging to the side of a cliff spinning around the hemisphere and the river jumps over the mountain and kisses the sky, the train whirlpools around and around the drain and all the Poets climb out of holes in the sky and recite streets lunging out of the flowers, then a tree grows out of the cliff and asks for a city, the Inca bridge connects New York City to Peru and mountains start springing out of the earth – mountains drooling out of other mountains until up and down is a delirious question running through opium staircases to Manchu Picchu, the blare of a train might be a machete slicing through your brain

I think the fellow is honetsly trying to use "Macchu Picchu" Which is an ancient city in the Andes Mountains. It is so high that it is hard to breath. The air is very thin and it's origins and the reason it is where it stands is a modern mystery! There is one theory that says that the city was at one time at a lower level within the atmosphere of the mountains. And through some odd natural event, was pushed up to the high level that it is at now. However, the question then comes up that, how did the city survive intact through such an event?! It just doesn't wash.

As for his poetry, stating himself as a Writer/Poet, I think he's trying to bring the vibrant images of poems by writing in a fantasy pictorial of imaginative panoramas. I reserve comment as to whether he succeds.

Directly from Wikipedia.. Machu Picchu.
Google brought the correct spelling up for me, even though I used one that was misspelled. An instant's research is worth a week of discussion and apology.
 
I didn't intend to start a brouhaha. However you spell Machu Pichu (thats my way) it's a far cry from Manchu Pichu. Thats the only reason I asked. I thought maybe he was trying to say something different and added the n deliberately. The only time I might criticize spelling is in a finished, submitted work. And rarely then unless it's obvious carelessness.


Hiya Champ! How are you?

I could ask the same of you, you sexy tongued gypsy! Where are you now??

Yes, I'm still in TN... or back in TN. I don't stay gone long because of the aforementioned little darlings. I could easily wring their Mom's neck, but I won't leave them.

Yeah but it makes for less discussion. Besides, I was taught to spell it "Macchu Picchuu", so if there is a mistake..., it ain't mine!? The study of that city has been around for a long time. BTW, hasn't "Wikipedia"s integrity been in question lately? Kind of a controversy.

I just have to say that it's a poor student who blames the teacher for an uncorrected error. Here's an excercise you can do right now. Go to google and search Macchu Picchuu. The first line at the top of the HTML page will ask "Did you mean: Machu Picchu?"

I'm simply saying that one of the spellings will bring up 21 results and the other will net you 6,130,000 references. Which would you say was likely the most correct?
 
My, my, my...., offended?
