David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

Macbeth Low On Meth

And signifying nothing, upon life’s stage 
    meaningless, endless, a cruel war he waged 
  Fretting and strutting, as the curtains narrowed 
Out, out, foul vegan, who doth hate man’s marrow 

Comes back for encore, to be mocked, and broken 
  Having found mere hate, vaunting the unspoken
    A shadowless ghoul behind faint shrills of woe
      Sans a candle, roams hell’s abattoirs below 

               A dedication of respect on the 
                nihilistic tragedy of Macbeth 
                        #         #         #
                   Bastardised here indeed
                   but more so each day by 
          a bard who flunked all meaning in life
                        #         #         #
                Yet has somehow found faith 
                 in putrid flesh eating flowers 
                              #         #
            No doubt whilst searching for a niche
            on the last syllable of soybean @urd

Panagiota Romios April 24, 2023 at 7:17 PM You have not failed! Your writing is excellent. An ingenious pen. Pangie Panagiota Romios April 25, 2023 at 7:00 AM Love, love the last line. I. just reread your poem. Very picturesesaue. I get a hoot out of sonnets that are not sonnets at all. But like,many us, still learning. Pangie. David Kavanagh April 25, 2023 at 12:30 AM Heya Pangie, its a work in progress, I must keep my rotten tomatoes handy for whenever the bard impersonator appears on stage, cheers David

I Am Anaya April 11, 2023 at 6:20 PM What foods these morsels be! Good job creating the parody, David. Enjoyed the "Goblet Art" David Kavanagh April 12, 2023 at 1:00 AM Heya Anaya, parodying the parodist, is perhaps the best approach, I’m sure he loved this one behind his sardonic facade lol, the Goblet Art is merely a subliminal side effect to help him whilst digesting, cheers David

Jenna Logan April 7, 2023 at 2:57 AM It's true that "all the world's a stage," but not everyone is fit to walk across it, stand in the spotlight to recite a soliloquy of nonsense that Shakespeare would call rot. That's why the hook was invented. Great title, David. David Kavanagh April 7, 2023 at 4:25 AM Thanks Jenna, I can only imagine our resident bard thingamajig, getting booed off the stage of self enlightenment each day, or rather like you say hooked off, what a cad he is, cheers David

Tom Cunningham April 6, 2023 at 6:47 PM Love your take on the tragedy of Macbeth David, I'm sure Will would approve of your modern version. Tom David Kavanagh April 7, 2023 at 12:19 AM Good Friday Morning Tom, oh I’m sure Will wouldn’t mind me spinning his Macbeth upon the folly of a scornful impersonator bard, whom bastardises his work day in day out, many thanks, cheers David
