Is Poetry a Dead Art? (Part 3)
Quote:
Musings while trying to code web pages recently:
Redo from start. I know too much already, now my head is getting heavy and my little pinkies aren't very well. CSS is cool, but I'm too much old school to learn to do HTML. It's the same with C++. I got BASIC just when object oriented came out. I could do some assembler, but I never remember what classes and pointers are about. Give me firewall configs and name server digs and I apt-get along real fine. But cascading style? I just run a mile. Too many ways to align. © archiver. And; while being undecided: I'm free. You know; to be or not to be, can sometimes be - the sanity of quiet free. Or merge the cold and shiny words, as told to me by men and birds. For now, fear I no smiley tap. No vengeful strap may sheer my nap. For style and famous doth corrupt. Who knows what mad men may obstruct this freedom to be quite unknown. Can't catch me - I'm all alone. Or © my name and my number? Would I really write hereunder all the things I'd want to say, if you could come and break my day? No then. Well fank frank for that. Perhaps I'll buy a pussy cat. You'll never know the real me. Hallelujah! I am free. © archiver. |

Ere I walk anon,
With grandeur and aplomb. Ere I lay, alack, I have smoked too much crack. © Biffo the Bear 2011 |

What must've been said, in this thread, to make it so very dead?
Oh, part 3, I see, silly me. © boxx 2011

Well here to part three cos two has gone.
It now lies in history with part one. Is poetry dead an art long past. not here, not here on DS. Now they clamour to get the last post. The poem to end and yet begin the next thread. Who will decide what that poem will be. Not the poet but the powers that be. Congratulations on your third thread.

the quest
I need to find an ebb and flow that renders The undertow and those romantic splendours So tangible the hardest heart surrenders. Where every wave is full of dreams that last And every fountain guides a golden mast And every ripple slides into the past. Where sirens are so beautiful young princes Learn of a love so special it evinces A memory that's lost and yet convinces. The seeker cannot put aside his quest Until he finds this sea-home and can rest Submerged in deeps harmonious and blessed. © |

Blinding stuff indeed! Most of this one came to me while I was wandering around Horsham recently. That's ok, but it's important to memorize key rhymes when you're out or the poem can get forgotten.

Moods
Methinks for our betterment we'd be better for far more smiles
Pity is that petulance and frowns can be much more prevalent Our mood may be low to midling, down or deeply direly worse Polarities of blandishments morph through perversity to curse Among our frail accomplishments make best of humour's bent Jokes help you through dark waters and stab at blue crocodiles Frank. |

For Liz
Actress Elizabeth Taylor died from a heart failure,
a heart put severely to many a test pursuing love. She tangled on many a reef that ensnare errant relationshipwrecks. Matters of her heart's desires occupied oursilver screen goddess in a Sargasso Sea of romantic love. Mortal she was though rich in so many ways. death tragedy and ill health as constant visitors as those to her Hollywood star. Beauty would tarnish naturally from those heights given by fortune's providence but a cloak of grace would tarry and settle around this elegant person. Elizabeth's tender heart rent so often rendered rest; great life: mega epic, modern Cleopatra to: The End. |

"Real Programmers use JCL" !
Everyone knows Linux is much better than WIndows But will it run on my computer? Well, here goes .......... From Wikipedia - Job Control Language (JCL) is a scripting language used on IBM mainframe operating systems to instruct the system on how to run a batch job or start a subsystem. The term "Job Control Language" can also be used generically to refer to all languages which perform these functions, such as Burroughs' WFL and ICL's OCL. This article is specifically about IBM's JCL. Let us know the result of the venture - in verse of course, if that is possible - unfortunately I haven't the gift.

Some say; it's a load of pish.
Others; it's a rare dish better heard within a song to help the mindless day along. Some even say; that one short line can make their day or mark a time when everything was better then. What better use for a pen? To sign a cheque for some new toy? To write to beg for new employ? To write off for some chicken feed? Or write as if to somehow plead; for sanity. For peace of mind. It helps me to unwind the mysteries of humankind. I came, I and then I rhymed; archiver
