empty

Crash Wednesday Xx With Apologies To Ts Eliot Xx

Because I do not hope to turn again 
Because I do not hope 
Because I do not hope to turn 
I'm going to leave this heap 
By the side of the road 
And hitchhike home.

A Iqbal

Poets have no schools to learn,

But to teach,

He himself a school of poems,

That I learned,

Shakespeare to Eliot,teachers,

But A Iqbal,mine,

Iqbal means fame, a theme like his name!

Eliot-Promises

What tune do politicians excrete
Upon their plank to please?
                                    Manana !
What response do husbands bleat
From a chair,at ease ?
                                    Manana !

Tempest

The
rainstorm
overnight
burst the shallow
dyke-
the
raging
river in
overflowing
flood
streamed
forth long
weeds plaited 
now beneath the
spate.

George Eliot

George Eliot, an important English Victorian Era writer,
born Mary Ann Evans, she must have been quite the fighter.
Supporting abolitionists and loving whomever she wanted,
“Marion” went against the norms, seemingly undaunted!

I Write For the People

I'm sure they thought ee cummings was insane

like t.s. eliot and so many before

i write for the people

i write for the people

i write story of redemption

steering us away from insane

horror

i write for the people.

Back Taxes

Hangovers are a back-tax on fun.

To paraphrase T.S. Eliot: 
"Can last night just belong to last night?”

I’m not thinking about sins and penance 
or making any bound-for-failure resolutions.

I’m giving myself a mental health break.

Dance

An eddy of dry leaves,
Dancing in the wind 
The dance of death,
Moves to mulch. 
I've seen this falling,
Mr. Eliot, and would say
September is the cruelest month,
Making supper for Spring
Out of lives that must give way
To future appetites.

A Quote

“Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different.” T.S. Eliot, poet (1888-1965)

Eliot-What's In a Name

Some with words,swear so free
so lightly from their lip will trip 
                                          JESUS!
He who in mind's eye I see
and with this word I worship
                                          JESUS !


Inspited by Acts 2:26 and 30

Love Song Tribute

you&I
   in half deserted streets
lets go,then
    linger awhile
time
    to wonder
        I dare say
there
   is
       time
shall we begin
you&me
it will worthwhile
to walk
      upon the beach
in the sea
     blown back
      by waves
do you agree

Metaphysics Warm

...keep our metaphysics warm
( From : Whispers of Immortality/T.S.Eliot)


Keep our metaphysics warm
in dorm sheet our handmaiden
work like monsters bazooka
Slit our conscience and alas
masturbation is a metaphor
Hammer and chain God is lost
Only interpretation, function
of power not even truth, fly.

As Time Breakeven

Past dweller healed by time
Second hand ticked, curse expunged
A fellow, awaits on twelve
As arrived, nightmare has fallen
“Only through time, time is conquered”

True Greatness

I must confess 
I'm more than a little envious of Mozart 
A tad jealous of Beethoven 
Obsessed with Shakespeare 
And enthralled by Eliot, 
And like the phases of the moon 
Changing in their season 
Time and the mood may vary 
But true greatness remains.

Prufrock's Symbolic World

Prufrock’s Symbolic World
 
Metaphors-Extraordinaire
Thomas Stearns Eliot
Metaphysical consciousness
Aura of aging and decay.

Streams of consciousness forever
Proto-disillusionment
The mermaids singing each to each
The mermaids will not sing today.

An Eliot Ekphrasis

a tribute ekphrasis on T S Eliot Gerontion

deliberations
          overheard
in a decayed house
by
   an
      old
           man
             with his thoughts
in
  a
     darkened
              room
whispering
    observations
upon
the past
interim
       conclusions
honestly
expressed
        from
a
  sleepy
      corner
       of
        memory

Naming Cats

Much serious thought should be given
to the naming of them,
for would we call a Byzantine Emperor
Tiddles, Blackie or Patches,
would we name an Egyptian Pharaoh,
Ginger, Tiger, Tom, or Peanut?

Cat’s are royalty, no less noble
than the Great Charlemagne -
and they know it,
thus it is most essential
that we get the little buggers neutered.

Posterity

Each is the difficult sentence,
its essence unfolding
into the intangible...

second by second,
wisp by wisp,
to glean the question..

wherefore simmers
our common wreck?

is it lit ablaze,
like the final pyre,
or let drift
like the Viking dead,

to know our fire,
to know our fire...

to reach a common end..

does Eliot bloom now
in his final bed?

perhaps posterity will know..
