Not a poem...

in poetryish •  6 years ago 

Sun rays and hazey glaze.

Into the river, no flow.

Up again, spicey, down it goes.

To open the eyes is to not know.

From around the corner, the shadow glows.

Tempered frogs in the night, alls they see is the light.

Not poetry?
Is that like the New York antifolk not folk music genre? My favourite artists came out of that movement.

Or the so post modern that it cannot exist as a poem? Movement.


We should start a movent Jon, redefine verse.

We shall call it antiverse.

Yes we will, it already is, and it is awesome.

But it must not be in the style of self deprecation. Antiverse must empower, as antifolk did. It is not for the faint of heart, it doesn't have to conform in fact it should endeavour not too while not trying too hard not too, and you do not have to define it. It simply is. If others don't like it or you do not fit the mould, then you are doing #antiverse to perfection. Although perfection is most definitely not the aim, perfectionism fly's in direct opposition to everything antiverse shall represent, as does following rules of meter, rhyme, rhythm and any other construction that may block the natural flow of epiphanies and word formation, construction and destruction.

Your verse is very good by the way, if it was odd and ambiguous and a bit obscure I would tell you. It would be a spot more antiverse, it is currently verse and quite good verse, rhyming verse.
Perhaps we should loosen the association a little and get a bit strange for the official #antiverse steemit launch.
It has been spoken of therefore it already is, no need to launch, that would not be akin to the movement, we shall just proceed as though it always has been, because it has, it is, it is Antiverse.

Antiverse!

Your mind is so intriguing.

Have you ever meditated, or know how?

This is far out.
