How about I task you?

[Maria2394]

man, I gotta question

all this Jimi Hendrix stuff.. you do know he is dead, right?

and, he did not write all of the work he performed.

did you recently wake up from a long winter's sleep?

I'm not trying to hijack this most wonderous discussion, just somethings I was wondering about...

 

[Tzara]

Just watch you don't step in the feral viscidity. It sounds...well...really ick.

Yeah—even domesticated viscidity is pretty unpleasant.

Maybe if I hosed it down and dipped it in alcohol. You know me. I like to take a walk on the wild-side now and then.

you know, just having this on my screen made my search engine think I was interested in cat laxatives

You gave me the idea to google the term. D'you think TMV know's it has to do with honeybee mating?

 

[Angeline]

You just reminded me that ee promised to check the oil in my car. lol.

 

[Sara Crewe]

I think it's more likely that he is currently trying to mate with a honeybee.


And I don't mean that in a metaphoric manner.

 

[Tzara]

You gave me the idea to google the term. D'you think TMV know's it has to do with honeybee mating?

If I google the joined term (i.e., in quotes "feral viscidity") I get zero hits, presumably because the googlebots have not found TMV's post yet.

Interestingly, Google suggests I may have meant "feral vicinity," which if I google as a joined term I get a porn site with this found poem

sweltering corvette,

..........the feral vicinity
..........with surviving


...pesticide​

and a rather smutty picture of a woman's molars and something very obviously male.

I fear I am incapable of understanding even rudimentary genius. Definition 3 seems the most appropriate.

 

[Tzara]

That's viscosity. Same idea, but the more usual terminology.

 

[Tathagata]

That's odd, as I downloaded a dictionary and I have no problems finding the words that I need.

You should probably read the definitions first but hey, don't let me screw up your poetry or anything, you super genius you.



Oh and a tip, anyone who hasn't had a relationship in 25 years probably doesn't know as much about women as he thinks he does.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Here we are on the literary equivalent of powerful resources and I'm in discussion with a bunch of fuedal lord's.

This is even more frustrating! I have looked through all my dictionaries, I googled all over the Internet, and still I have no clue as to what is a fuedal lord. And fuedal lord's what? You're engaged in discussion with a bunch of somethings that belong to a fuedal lord, I get that, but what somethings? Grrr.

I wonder if I'll ever be able to read past the first line of any of your posts... I feel like I'm missing so much...

 

[Tathagata]

"I can handle things... I'm smart... Not like everybody says. Not dumb. I'm smart. And I want respect!"

i know it was you Fredo.....

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Thank you! When it takes almost 24 hours for anyone to give any indication that they got a joke, you start to wonder about your own set of references.

shouldn't it be Giant's, and Redwood's?

i think you forgot the apostrophe's.

most people haven't watched it 97 times like i have

 

[TMV]

How might I task you?

Here we are on the literary equivalent of powerful resources and I'm in discussion with a bunch of fuedal lord's. "I Googled for the word!" That's odd, as I downloaded a dictionary and I have no problems finding the words that I need. And these are the veteran's of LITerotica?

All this brain-power just riveted on the tiny pittance of dissected phrases and mutilated musings of mispellings. And of course your spelling is absolutely perfect for some spectacular wordsmith's! (Yes, I know how you will use this..., in the same old tired tactics of abuse of human logic.)

"I Googled for" this prognostication. I mean, talk about predictable. And as for your obligatory denounciation of my knowledge of women..., I know that inane reasoning for divergent feelings is a scientific fact. And if I were ever that knowledgeable of women (as you obviously try to debate) I could not be in this task to push an altercation for your unending passion to run this Forum as if you owned it!

Your greatest sin is that you pick and choose whom you deem as worthy writers and then mob the others to relieve your intransigent boredom. Of that, I am glad to ease your suffering! I know that I have posted more on this one thread in one week,then at any other Forum that I have been to. I have yet to see one original tactic here as far as foresight and invention are concerned. You are so dependent on the old moldy dissemination of your intended targets post's. Tiny, minute, scraps of disingenuous factoids.

Lumbering Giants of molted Redwoods.

 

[TMV]

Well, now that the silence is deafening.

What a nice little vacation. I have had a nice time enjoying the bright little new toys that I've gotten since the forum went down, And then to see that the deluded damsel's have gotten bored and tired with this, is just so eloquent and delicious. So then, how next, do I proceed? As it was, I have no disabilities and no problems understanding that which my learned aggresives, seem so dependent on in their own lack-lusterous skills. Even as they spout at how I was voluminously vengeful, I could almost break out in incredulous laughter! How is it that I could be so furious, and not even breaking out in a sweat in this confrontation?

I still allow that just maybe those that speak so indignantly and carelessly about the great reasons, and causes for literary liberation that they so magnificently provide for our meager understanding. And our taudry competence in the english language. That any one person just might come on here with an absolute and avant garde idea in re-inventing the poetic prose, it is obvious that it becomes an instant insult to their very reputations and standing in such a precious little pond. Well, the pond isn't that precious. But the work and re-interpretation of the art of poetry is of precious ideaological priority!

I ask then, why is it so hard for so many to even seek assurance of the possibility..., that maybe something new has arrived and that it is time to listen, instead of deride and debilitate that, which might once again become a breath of fresh air in poetry.

I think the conservatives and the traditionalists, have strangled the fiery expression of the art for far too long! The rules have become far more important than the work. When was tthe last time that anyone came in and seriously upset the literary world in the viable learning of poetry? Yes, new forms have come out. But there has not not been a true revolt in poetry since Edgar Allen Poe! And it shows in the fact that the common people have become bored and tired of poetry. Because, none have challenged the concept of poetry as an idea or even interesting construct such as music, paintings, or even culture have under gone staggering recontruction in the twentieth century! When is the last time that poetry has faced the rending of the envelope, or even the pressure of "thinking outside the box"? It has insidiously and ignorantly become elitist and and detrimental to the very term "ART"!

"New" art, in poetry? I wouldn't want someone to crack their stoney faces. I wouldn't want someone to think just thirty seconds longer on trying to be a "creative" artist! I wouldn't want to put those hyper-critical sophisticates out in the cold! No, no, no..., we mustn't step off the path! Only the well tread dirt is where a poet belongs. Never must a foot step among the fresh smell of chlorophyl and perfume. It must always be stirring up the musty old dust of the ashes of those who have past before us! We have to walk amongst the decaying bones and flesh of our progenitor's!

GEEZ! Give me a break! If I find a new moutain or valley when I have tread from your demented path..., I don't think God is going to strike me blind from having forgotten your interpretation of poetic scripture! You reek of the stale, dying mediocrity!

 

[Lauren Hynde]

And then to see that the deluded damsel's have gotten bored and tired with this

The deluded damsel's what? I don't really know this damsel, so I don't know which part of her got bored. You never tell us!


PS: Did I happen to glance the expression avant-guarde? LOL. I have no idea why the damsel's whatever-it-was would have gotten bored. You're a funny dude.

Yannow, in spite of what you presume about me, I did read the stuff you've posted here with an as open mind as can be asked for. What I saw was nothing especially exciting. Wordy, phonetically elegant, dictionary hugging text flow, communicating nothing substantial but logophilia. Which isn't anything bad per se. Actually, I'm not talking about your poetry here. I kind of like it. But something new? Nah. Just because you holler at the top of your lungs that you're the new deal, the raging revolution and the best idea since sliced ciabatta, it doesn't make it so. Ever considered just letting your poetry speak on it's own, instead of rambling on like some other Snoop Dogg about how damn gangsta you are?

I think the conservatives and the traditionalists, have strangled the fiery expression of the art for far too long! The rules have become far more important than the work. When was tthe last time that anyone came in and seriously upset the literary world in the viable learning of poetry? Yes, new forms have come out. But there has not not been a true revolt in poetry since Edgar Allen Poe!

Poe? Poe wasn't even innovative when he was around. A very good wordsmith, and a stellar story teller with gothic and even slightly Shakespearian roots. But only one in a whole generation of neo-victorian goth romantics. And nothing fresh since? Kinda missed the whole Beat thing, didja?

Keeps on proving what I suspected from the start of this thread. You're either relentlessly baiting for a flame-war, or exist like a child, totally ignorant of cultural context. Or both. To break new ground, you got to know where the old ground ends. Rules are made to be broken, but if you don't know to what thay are, and to what effect, what's the point? Learn your context and then give me a shout. Then we can talk, at length, about challenging it.

 

[MungoParkIII]

But there has not not been a true revolt in poetry since Edgar Allen Poe!

I imagine Ginsberg might Howl at that... but then again, years earlier, Vachel Lindsay saw the birth of a Renaissance on a napkin left by a waiter and hey, for a brilliant new twist on performance poetry look to Philadelphia and Floetry. Then again there's the New Formalism with AE Stallings and others finding a revolutionary idea... meter and rhyme.

Of course the real revolutionary poets are those writing in the third world, where a poet's words can incite a population, where writing and distributing poetry can become a capital offense, where a poet and his readers often live and die by the power of the poet's words.

He can guarde all the avant he wants. I'm just deafening his silence because he bores the bejesus outta me.

Yeah, perhaps it's really as Don Delillo says, that the only true artist remaining today is the terrorist, because he (or she) is the only one who can truly surprise us.


But then again it was Danny Kaye who sang: "The theater, the theater, whatever's happened to the theater..."

actually, MP3, I would even argue with that. When I was in school, we did a group thing where we came up with worst case scenarios. Hate to tell you, but the terrorists are copy cats. Theres nothing the fuckers could do that would surprise me.


lets see--

contaminate the water supply- expecting that

disrupt transport of food and medical supplies-- expecting that, too

widespread distribution of disease--(WMD--bioweapons)--expecting that too, only it will probably be an "accident" and it will be our own government that "accidentallY" releases some bio toxin or supposed-to-be-eradicated-disease AND that "accidental" release will of course, be in an area where poor people who never had a chance will be the guniea pigs for whatever new vaccine they have...

nope, nothing left to surprise me..excpet another republican being elected after the present idiot is gone

now that would be terrorism...a united front of people, determined to make the world a better place by filling it with Haliburton billionaires.

opps, that one is in progress....

I know, I know!! I WAS surprised, when Paris had to go BACk to jail, so does that make the judge an artist?

I dont know...
