Chrysalis Academy Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 A beat poem, made up entirely of General Board spam post titles (inspired by Rosie and Jean) ;) Simple formulation of success: Somewhere in our need to compete, Challenge was laid down any Otherwise hugely impressive sequel feel.

Chrysalis Academy Posted July 11, 2015 Author Share Posted July 11, 2015 Beret on - I'm inspired! This is what has been going through my head all morning - from Sunflower Sutra by Allen Ginsberg. The last line is one of my favorites in all of poetry. Poor dead flower? when did you forget you were a flower? when did you look at your skin and decide you were an impotent dirty old locomotive? the ghost of a locomotive? the specter and shade of a once powerful mad American locomotive? You were never no locomotive, Sunflower, you were a sunflower! And you Locomotive, you are a locomotive, forget me not! So I grabbed up the skeleton thick sunflower and stuck it at my side like a scepter, and deliver my sermon to my soul, and Jack’s soul too, and anyone who’ll listen, —We’re not our skin of grime, we’re not dread bleak dusty imageless locomotives, we’re golden sunflowers inside, blessed by our own seed & hairy naked accomplishment-bodies growing into mad black formal sunflowers in the sunset, spied on by our own eyes under the shadow of the mad locomotive riverbank sunset Frisco hilly tincan evening sitdown vision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minerva Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 How does it feel to be the mother of a new genre of poetry? The world will be singing your praises and reciting your lines for generations to come. From the WTM to the pages of the New Yorker. Such a rapid rise to stardom. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minerva Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 But does this mean she has to cite and credit every single spambot? Who gets the royalties? I guess she could split the whopping $1.18 she will receive for being America's most beloved poet, or she could just give it all to the suppliers of her inspiration and just be satisfied with the fame. As for the citations and credits, if the spammers choose to reveal themselves, they will be shamed into silence by their universal repugnance. The whole world will be joyous that there is finally a use for all of their parasitic nonsense and they will have to be satisfied with their royalty check. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnMomof7 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Oooooh. Pitch Perfect 2 = scary factors AND mental crying. Too fantastic. Deliberately along with everybody, crying. Deep man. It speaks to the futility of pop culture consumption. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
