Companion to the Five in Five

[champagne1982]

Champagne, lovely to read your poems on the 5/5. This made me laugh.

It's like some sort
of gibberish in poemish
spoken by poemy natives
on the island of poem.

I just stumbled in here to have a quick read and found this lovely compliment dora. Thankyou. I hate when I can't find anything to write about except not writing. This was just one way to try to get it out without seeming stale and whiny.

I'm glad to have contributed something to your day.

PG, I'm digging on what you've been putting out lately. Nothing substantive to say about it, but I do want you to know that I'm enjoying it =)

Thanks, Homburg. Hope I see some of yours soon.

 

[Homburg]

Thanks, Homburg. Hope I see some of yours soon.

Not likely any time soon. As I said previously, bitter is a bad muse for me.

Thank you for your kind words though.

"Bitter" is a not so good word, I think.

No, it's not.

Vampiredust, your poem Neatly Organised is really evocative. I don't really like the title because it seems too pat for the rest of the poem, but the images and terse lines of that poem are wonderful. I think you have a good start with it.

Dora, "Duct Taping the Ascetic to the Rocket" has got to be one of the best poem titles I have ever read.

Funniest too.

Agreed!

When I first heard the words 'duct tape' (this was some years ago now) I had no idea what it was. Because you Americans don't pronounce the first 't' I though you were
saying 'duck tape'. For quite a long while I thought there was a kind of tape sold in America called 'Duck Tape'.

Great stuff pandora!

There is. There is a tape brand named "Duck". So you really can get Duck Tape. I've got a roll on my desk right now.

Well now I don't know if you're pulling my leg!

 

[Eluard]

dammit! I just googled it and there IS stuff called Duck Tape.

I do not kid about Duct Tape. That's serious business, Eluard.

Thank you, Tzara and Eluard.
And thanks for the encouragement on the D/s poems, Homburg.

PG, can we perhaps hope for an entire Duck Tape suite of poems??



*idea* they could be called "THE DUCK TAPE CHRONICLES".

Ah now that sounds like a challenge for the board! I'll bring the ducks if you bring the tape.

 

[Homburg]

The answer to that question could easily make you a multi-millionaire.

You are welcome. I rather enjoyed today's offering as well. I _can_ dig poetry of the usual sort too.

 

[Eluard]

Homburg — sounds like you might be a man up for the challenge of The Duck Tape Chronicles. Game?

Are we talking a 5 in 5 of Duck Tape poems?

 

[Eluard]

I think this would merit a whole new thread!

 

[Homburg]

I think this would merit a whole new thread!

Goodness. Sure, I'm game. I can think of themes for two or three. Maybe even a fourth. Not sure that they'll be all high-brow and grand, but we aren't talking verse written about Rodin's Kiss or somesuch.

Might also be a worthwhile thing to throw at the Bistro. bj is always looking for wierd themes.

 

[Tzara]

A curious thing about duct tape is that one of the few things it isn't very good at fixing is ductwork. Doesn't seem to hold it together very well, though it sticks to the HVAC guy's fingers and clothes like neutrons to a carbon nucleus.

Apparently, even the French have Duck Tape or, perhaps, bande de canard.

So what's wrong with you guys?

Gun tape torn into leaf-like strips
obscure the silouhette
and become the jungle
at the walls of Phnom Pen

Nothing duct tape won't fix.

Whoa there. Save that for the actual Chronicle.
