Green voices, youthful in their haste,
flecked with an ounce of knowing
tied the old man in his ways.
By rote they lashed His words with words,
gagged his mouth with whispers of belief,
cursed his eyes that couldn’t see their truth
and cut the tongue that wouldn’t write their taste.
They bound him ...

Re: school yard bully's interpretation of nursery rhymes
Nice poem
Reminded me of an old scribble:
Jack and Jill went off to school,
they learned to use narcotics.
Jack got shot and Jill was raped.
The principal played politics.
"It's terrorism plain and true",
he said in condemnation,
"Lets segregate the blacks from whites
and bomb the Muslim nation ...

Re: Aftershock
Yes, sorry about that, it's a bad habit can't seem to shake. A form of projection I guess.You're putting words in your response that I never said.

An expletive or two is sometimes apt or even required.

I agree it's a bad poem riddled with mistakes, all my stuff is of a similar ilk which is why I don't post (or write) much these days.

Aftershock
After the slow death the silence leaps
On ears that need the lullaby of screams
To feel at home.
She, as mad as worms, has turned
Her tongue to younger men, too weak
To taste her poison passed as cheap perfume.
After the crash of doors the emptiness;
The lack of hate can pluck the nerves
And leave ...

Re: the war on poetry drags on
Doreen,
Every site, even those not running adverts, makes money based on traffic - it's not hard cash you can spend right now but it's still being accrued.
Your site for instance, based on the traffic throughput is currently worth $3,089, as you increase the traffic that value would rise. Get it ...

Re: the war on poetry drags on
Nice poem
Reminds me of something I wrote years ago when the internet and poetry forums were in their infancy, I guess that goes to show that the concept of fuckwit poetry trolls is nothing new.
I should probably clarify that I'm not talking about people who offer critiques in critical analysis ...
