Slavish Imitation

Whoever she is, she has excellent taste.

I respond, cheating unrepentantly:


Fucking Zeno

I proved you can still get there one way or another. I demonstrated
the correct measurements and afterward he ad-
mitted my mathematics were
half again
better

Ted Hears A Clit

On the evening of Monday, near a puddle of drool,
in the soft of the bed lay a long and hard tool.
He was humming...buzzing the pussy's wet quim
when a dildo named Ted heard a soft hymn.

So Ted stopped his shaking. He pulled out of the mound
"That's lovely," mused Ted. "What's making that sound?"
It sang out again! A glorious tune.
As if a wicked woman was raising the moon.
"I hear you," said Ted. "I love the song that you sing."
He shook and he shook. Her bell he did ring
once he found the small node at the top of her thing.

"Oh yes!" gloried Ted. "I've never once smelled
the musk of an oyster like this one unshelled.
Oh darling pussy what a glorious stink... that wafts through the air
just when I nudge against that little bump there.
You must have a button that turns you on and responds
right here, at the pout of your delectable mons...

"A sexy little clit that moans when you lust
I'll bet it'll blow if I do what I do and just
glide over it's stiffness and inside you get tucked,
for a clit is a clit, that just needs to be fucked."

So, with spinning vibrations he thrust in and out
He heard the pussy splashing but then Ted heard a shout
"I'm cumming, I'm cumming! God, yes! Fuck my slit!
My god it feels good! When I rub my clit."

Ted was so happy. He'd made pussy wet
and the clit? Why the clit was as glad as a clit gets!
The dildo named Ted now rests in his drawer,
recharged and ready for when the pussy needs more.

i am amazed by these posts. really. this looks so hard to do. and some i have no idea which poet they're meant to imitate/parody or reply to since i am unfamiliar with their work.

but damn, i'm hungry to try... maybe i'll goose Whitman

Well that last one was obviously Seuss, but maybe I should suggest that folks put in some links to the poets they're imitating, if they can and have not already done so.

I tried some Whitmanesque stuff a while back. He's a fun voice to imitate. Go for it! You're obviously as fond of him as I am.

Beware of imitating Suess. It's hard to get that meter out of your head. (grin)

[The Mutt]

I've been listening to a lot of Dylan.


The carpetbagger in the Stetson hat,
rode into town on a sewer rat,
they ate their fill 'til they got fat
off blood and legal tender.

The white horse hung his head in shame,
for dancing with the halt and lame,
the rules he used to rig the game
were marked Return to Sender.

But how was he to feel your pain?
Standing in a guilty rain.

(Harmonica solo)

The orphan child, he laughed aloud,
and kicked the shins of all the proud,
and looking down from on his cloud
was God in all his splender.

And the crooked man with the Fu Manchu,
he wasn't sure just what to do,
so he went back to L.S.U.
confused about his gender.

Can he wash away the mark of Kane?
Standing in a guilty rain.

The taxi man got drunk on wine,
the barefoot waitress squeezed a lime,
and poured a glass of turpentine
into a Waring blender.

The broken glass reflected black,
and gave the Pope a heart attack,
The Comte de Guiche took up the slack
for artists soon to render.

Your bumbershoot won't keep you sane;
Standing in a guilty rain.

(fade out)

fingers in mouth whistles, applause, stamps feet

you guys are tough acts - wow!

 

[unpredictablebijou]

I liked that and I don't even like Dylan.

Okay, to qualify, as a composer he's brilliant but as a singer I suspect he warms up with an air raid siren.

Well done!

Well done Muttski! I don't think of Dylan in terms of a specific rhythm, but of course it's right there; you captured it perfectly. If you read a line in a Dylan singing voice (the pain, I know), you get stresses on the middle and last syllable of each line.

Very, very clever.

Even when good singers cover Dylan songs they end up sounding just like him. Something about the way he writes just forces them to.

And the amazing thing is that his rhythm is so consistent. I just sat here thinking about a bunch of Dylan's songs (he's a big favorite of ee's and we listen to him a lot). All the lines I thought of are either 8 or 10 syllables with an ascending stress at mid line and a descending one at end. I see what you mean!

You have a fabulous ear, Mr. Mutt. As others have said, this is dead-on down home Robert. It drawls in all the right places.

Thematically like him as well.

The singer thing is pretty true. Roger McGuinn is the best example. And Tom Petty sounds like Bob even when he's doing his own songs. (Or maybe he sounds like Roger doing Bob, since he's very Byrdsy influenced. No matter.) But does Jimi really sound like him?

I don't think so, but even he does kinda draw out those syllables, so maybe you're right.

You gonna record this?
