The General Commentary Thread

Hi JaySecrets - please, I would love to read your poem however you posted a Link? I don't click on links....is it possible to post the poem in the thread?
It was an off the cuff video of something composed on the fly. There is no written version, and it really only works as spoken word poetry. I will try to download that video onto my phone, but I don't know how to post that video onto here from there. 🥺

You should try Vocaroo.
 
This is a quick drive-by post to say how impressed I am with the wonderful poems y'all have been producing of late. I feel like there's a really good vibe on the forum, people picking up inspiration from each other. I just read a bunch of poem-a-week pieces that I love. And who knew there are (well were) either cocktails? Sounds dangerous! And thanks to Tzara, my favorite purveyor of esoteric trivia in poetry for sharing *that* info. 🍸🍸🍸

Well done all of you. Thanks for the poems. 🌹🌹🌹
 
Hey Mr Wat_Tyler, "Bad Wiring" is an exceptional piece of writing. Thank you for posting it. 🌹
 
I was, yesterday, wanting to metaphor a smile as a hundred-Watt light bulb, and got stuck wondering if that makes any sense in this new era of LEDs.
lol not only are LEDS replacing lightbulbs, but Lighthouses are obsolete 😉
Although a little clunky it would seem the poem still holds a secret 😄

It's a powerful poem and a great example of what erotic poetry can be imo. For all the (really like gazillion) graphic poems classified as erotic here, great metaphors and sustained images almost always work better.

I did wonder though about the use of "taunt" and whether you had meant "taur," but then I realized it works either way and maybe making that reference vague is intentional. Or not...I have an overactive imagination. 🙄

Bathroom Mirror

I saw him again today,
beard was more white than grey
and even his eyebrows were starting
to blanch away,
paler and paler;

His eyes met mine, like always,
bagged and sort of glazed
like sinuses were troublin him
or he was simply on the edge of
being overwhelmed by the emotions
of being himself;

I wanted to ask why he kept
showing up like he did, no warning,
nothing common courtesy would require
but he never said anything, just moved his
lips and mocked my speakin to him;

Which was a pity, since I couldn't very well
not take the risk of seein him,
not if I wanted a decent shave
or to make sure I'd parted my hair properly;

If only I knew where he'd come from,
and how much longer he was planning on
appearing to me.

Great insight there my friend!
