Poem Three scams us, I fear, in that even those most accepting of poetry approximating prose (or vice versa) may find themselves hard pressed to find it poetic And while few may ever know its true motivations, many will probably surmise obligations were on its poet’s/writer’s mind of liberation. Yet, did it speak of too many topics? Monetary and non-monetary are the important issues say those common and corporate, while some of the no longer categorized have flown away in airplanes, although some of those have stumbled on the runway steps And then the non-flyers (the grounded so to speak) have been left to wonder if they were to blame; had their election of an incompetent emboldened warmongers to massacre their neighbors half the world away? But some other flyers never returned from waterway landings or tall buildings crashes, and some had flown away in helicopters – they flashed the peace sign as they boarded and departed from the back lawn But here’s a check of reality for those who, with pen in hand, attempt smooth transference of time’s three divisions – beware of the displeasure cast by high and holy rollers of literature. Better perhaps that you hide within the sanctuary of anonymity, even though most of those literary rollers are only high – not holy Nevertheless, I’m afraid even if poets and writers can remain anonymous, so-called “accepted literary guys” (guys of course referring to people from both of the sexes we once accepted as exclusive) will no doubt express disdain for the output of such creative types, and especially for those they term “writing rookies” Oh but do you know those guys? They’re often displayed with black hair, and sometimes black glasses; and some have black skin . . . Oh God! Oh God, hide me! Hide me where they can’t call me the n, f, r, or any other word Yes, I’d say today another novice has learned that, literary devices, used within written pieces, may sometimes have significant, as well as occasionally hidden meanings, and sometimes those meanings will anger, offend and embarrass, as was the case with she who complained that nowadays perfectionists seem to be overrunning the blogs! Just give me simplicity in both prose and poetry say the guards of literature. And don’t force readers to expend too much mental effort attempting to discern all of what they’ve just read And, it seems the true allegiance of today’s “thought shapers” lies not with scholarly pursuit, but rather with “dumbing down”. In other words, for them, reading enjoyment means encountering words and written styles such as Dick and Jane (but these days especially Jane), rather than Ernest or F. Scott may have utilized. And, we’ve seemingly lost the ability to accept only correct language usage from Americans who currently refuse to use English properly: plus, many “new Americans” struggle with their new nation’s mode of communication, and some of them no doubt would rather U.S.A. born Americans be forced to learn the language of the “immigrants” rather than the immigrants be forced to learn the language spoken in the nation they’re immigrating to |
