Poems from a Blacker Soul 2
This one is called "Death lies naked on my porch"
Get off

This one is called "Light of the World"
The dark darkness is dark
It darkens around me
Darker and darker
Until it's really dark
I can't see in this dark
It's too dark to see
In the darkness
Nobody can see anything
except the dark
Oh pulchritudious fate!
Why did you make it so dark so late?
The Greeks had it right,
They used lots of light
And candles.
So the darkness remains
And I slip on the icy floor
And hurt my elbow
In the dark

This one is called "Meta Meta Four"
A like a B like a C
Like a D
All is like All
is Like none
Like a meta-metaphor
it's like it being like something it isn't
but still being like it it's like the act
of being like it
The likeness is like liking what cannot be liked
or is liked in a way that one thing is like another
But it's only like it
Otherwise it'd be a simile
—-
This one is called "Star Bright"
The stars twinkle
Twinkle like an eye
A starry eye, twinkling
Like a twinkling star
Star bright!
Yet so dull
With blasts of heavenly rays
Of darkness
Look at the stars above
The Greeks had it right
About the stars
Above
And I lay in a blanket
Of lonelyness
Underneath the stars
And clouds and moon and aeroplanes
—-
This one is called "Yeah, Yeah"
Apples!
Yeah Yeah
Sugar!
Yeah Yeah
Newspaper!
Yeah Yeah
To it all.

Excellent. The Greeks had it right, indeed. I look forward to the next one.

I can probably give an ode to bandsoc a go.. what do you want as the topic for your poem? Otherwise it'll be called "this one is called "Claire""..
