Arthur Vaso Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

Who Bloks Who

Who Bloks Who?

( think A Space Odyssey, Hal when reading this)


Hi Dave..
Hi Arthur..
I might Blok you Dave
Ah you may but then I would have to Blok you too
Still Dave I would be first to Blok so I would win
Oh Arthur you can try, but I still may out Blok you
Ok Dave I see you are challenging me, so I am so gonna Blok you
You just watch Dave........
	Do neglect all your dear creations
Not Bad Arthur, however I one up that Blok……
	Do neglect all your hot earthly passions
How about this one Dave.....
	Think in days, and say prayers in nights.
Well Arthur I can do so much better.....
	If your spirit is burning and troubling,
	Drive your high inspiration away
Maybe, maybe not, 
	Only wisdom is ready for coming
	To Great Night from the life’s everyday
Arthur, I one up yet again!!
	On the earth you will not be awarded.
	In clear spirits before the God’s face
Ah ha, and now, the grand finale, chess master am I
	Slow fade in a right, lone mode
	At the leave of the icon lamp’s blaze...


Notes: I will soon post the answer to this riddle, in the mean time
who can figure out this “infinite dot universe poem” ?

Answers: I wrote this as two poets challenging each other on their knowledge of a very famous Russian poet, by reciting lines from one of his poems to each other! .... the famous poets name is of course “ Alexander Blok”

Alexander Alexandrovich Blok; 28 November [O.S. 16 November] 1880 – 7 August 1921) was a Russian lyrical poet. And being a “lyrical poet” well I guess you all know why I choose Dave (Lyric Man) as one of the poets! The photo above is ofcourse a portrait of Alexander Blok !

Tim Smith June 5, 2015 at 2:29 PM Very clever write and I read Alexanders lines separately too...they are outstanding Arthur Vaso June 5, 2015 at 9:07 PM Yes he is a very famous poet, of course the lines are a translation so maybe not as good as the Russian lines.
