Sigrid Ermine Poet Rhyme

Called By Cobain - Seance

Beside midnight's minting bare branches
   Dead fingered messages on bedroom pane scratches 
             Four awe struck teens oija board captured
   Followed fast spelt results, from rock star sanctioned 


             Questions asserted by incredulous desires
    Hoisted upturned glass drawn answers much admired
            Grave lain idol caressed all the girls inquired
     Decisive planchette slide surprised previous denyers 


   Eerie sequenced letters spelt Cobain's cause of death 
           Conduit confirmed it an accident, fans bereft
   Of Kurt's cutting edge grunge, now Nirvana aroma left
          Bygone, but through them, legend found breath

NB -  Biological studies have demonstrated that the 
         phenomena of seemingly self driven planchettes
         during seances is caused by the ideomotor effect, 
         a sub concious physical response. Ironically, the 
         less control participants think they have, the more
         their subconscious controls what happens.

Carolyn Devonshire October 2, 2020 at 10:58 AM A unique and compelling topic, Sigrid. I like the explanation you gave for how the Ouija Board works. One time it spelled out the name of the man a friend of mine would marry. She hadn't even met him yet. Congratulations on your win! Best wishes, Carolyn Sigrid Ermine October 2, 2020 at 3:44 PM Thank you, Carolyn. Your Comp filled up quicker than any other topic Comp I've seen.! Your scenario is amazing! Wow, a psychic spirit. Unreal! That's insane!

Angela Crabtree October 1, 2020 at 3:39 PM Great poem, Sigrid! Love the way you brought it all together with the Seance. The story behind his death definitely made the mind to wonder. Peace, Angie Sigrid Ermine October 2, 2020 at 3:48 PM Ta, Peace.

David Kavanagh October 1, 2020 at 4:24 AM Fascinating Sigrid my biggest hero is Kurt Cobain, def most influential in my time anyway, montage of heck documentary gives great insight into his mindset love life music and drug addiction, brilliant how you came up with this seance idea for your poem, absolutely love it, I’ve made brief allusions to him in some of my poems, you may just have inspired me to write a full one about him in the future, he certainly deserves it, I still listen to Nirvana while I workout so inspirational cheers David Sigrid Ermine October 2, 2020 at 4:39 AM Enamoured by your devotion, David. 'Something In The Way' expresses your admiration entirely. Huge accolades yours for doing it David Kavanagh October 1, 2020 at 4:40 AM Might take a while but it’s in my subconscious just need the right moment to tease it out, I’d say for a girl he must’ve seemed like the ultimate guy, he had everything going for him, but just went about his business as you said in a regular manner, cheers David Sigrid Ermine October 1, 2020 at 4:30 AM ... I have recently watched a few hours of Kurt interviews. He is a fascinating lovely person. A genius wrapped in regular Joe stance. Sigrid Ermine October 1, 2020 at 4:28 AM Oh wow. That's so cool. Absolute idol to my group of peers briefly... Still nothing like Nirvana... You are a bigger fan though, I go more towards rnb. Keenly looking out for your Kurt poem, David. Cheers!

Gershon Wolf September 30, 2020 at 8:27 PM I have no understanding of seances and such, and don't even know who Kurt Cobain is/was, though I've heard the name -- yet I find this poem truly entertaining (as well as quite informative). Thank you so much, Sigrid! ~ Bring 'em back, dead or alive, Frank Buck Sigrid Ermine September 30, 2020 at 8:30 PM Thank you, sweetie. Love your honesty, in return for mine. Frank Buck, Bring Em Back, he seems cool, old world charm, I'll have more of a look at his stuff, - Cheers!
