.

I came upon a lonely site, it looked forlorn and empty;
when all at once, I saw a light; myself in there a plenty.

What aversations, I engender so
in such new making of creation.
Where, wisdom by its eutrapelia show,
I ne’er be bound by versed citation.

Life is an enervated road; we plod
‘til we meet those who think they’re god
Which I suppose is something we all do
whenever, we chose word’s poetic shoe.

However, I have to admit; some gods are very small.
And some it must be said are not true gods at all.

In fact, it could be that they’re paronomasia’s mantle
gathered round the spindle shanks of apocryphal whiffle.

From what new crevice faction they appear.(1965/1970)
these aspheric creatures of our modern year.
That would attend our thoughts with fear:
To then behave, like Shakespeare’s asthore’s of King Lear.
Such is the palpitation of a versed scion,
where would be gods their avails seem insincere.

What ‘emeute voice our failures become
dissevered by them who would have we succumb.
To write our words, by debaser’s rule of thumb.
What strange mutation plays upon their drum?

‘Til Helicon shakes with mount’s indignant wrath;
Awakes Aganippides to words storm fed path.
Now summons Mnemonides and Castaliae muse:
To strike the match that lights wit’s burning fuse.

Wherein cascades of new enlightened thought
words tumble out, their reactive ions wrought
in ways, the poet’s mind seems to perceive.
They too, a life on our road of make-believe.

To each root, intimation’s Avenue of trees:
each single entity, amise en scène to please.
 Without man’s mentoring, hand so ill at ease.
Those flourished thoughts; their self-apices.

Poetic word; Art’s guide-way to the gods
sees prose remain those flat footed plods
by which: we poets still unceasing tread.
‘Til we become as them. Word’s living dead.

In poet’s cloistered garth, there’re alien flowers
Some seek sun’s rays whilst others turn away.
Whilst redolence gives its solace to the night;
its dulcet voice, in subtle ways seems right

. For what could numina’s criticisms attain?
When from a poet’s heart there bleeds pure pain
That like love’s crystal tears, emotion flows.
‘Til words new aura effuses: Their nullifidian grail
which guides us still, no step beyond the pale?

Or shed’s ennui from its falseness of servility
frail man’s self-purpose made poetic deity:
that would so bind the poet’s wish be free.
To where no more avatars, their meaning be;
Iniquities on versers’ own made destiny...

Yet, what more can I in my passing say.
“In poetica. Deus meus non est tuus deus.”
It’s true , theirs never can, be seen my way.

Mor.

I am in accord with Richard. For there is much from this poem that my meager mind cannot discern. However, I did sense a bit of discord over the quality of poetry/prose presented here.

I too, have these qualms as the English language and its punctuation and spelling is massacred in favor of trite messages saying little except what the daily weather is. Still, I need someone to edit my work for it to be acceptable for publication, and that is very difficult to obtain in the online environment. I find myself editing my work and still not seeing, “the forest for the trees.” But as someone once told me, “the cream rises to the top.” And from time to time, like the story I read this morning, I find a jewel in the chaff.

Hi Mor ...
You have constructed a poem as richly diverse, in spirit and gist, as Eden. And, too, you have threaded it deftly with the philosophic, and much that seemingly remains unrequited in how you feel about poetry and literature. Your phraseology, and choice of words, Mor, are as impressive as a fiery golden sunset, but sadly, if I may note, well past most readers ability to understand. I applaud this.

A purists tears mingling with the quills ink.

No one can appreciate your work without studying it, Mor. Sadly, most people anymore don't have the attention span, or cognitive ability, to do so. I can imagine that your dictionary(s) and thesaurus' are quite dog-eared. haha. Given your 'advanced age' (as you've described it to me) your mind (IMO) is still marvelously incisive, as well as keen to put forth your poetic philosophies and idealisms. I applaud this, too.

"Poetic word; Art’s guide-way to the gods (gods??)
sees prose remain those flat footed plods
by which: we poets still unceasing tread."

People are still willing to try. This is a good thing. Something can be gleaned from anyones work. There are many varied flowers (poets/writers) in the fields of words my friend. And all have their purpose, and their own unique beauty. Art, for the most part, reflects the times. Sadly there is much degradation on this planet - artistically, morally, spiritually - which affects how art and writing is cogitated and birthed.

In those pieces of yours I have had the privilege to read, there is a common thread; you bemoan the debased nature of what poetry/prose has become in comparison to what it once was before the internet. Still ... on the bright side ... if it wasn't for the internet, I would never have had the advantage to read your constructs. It's all a matter of focus.
Never rest your quill, Scotsman.

With respect ... richard
