The perfect portrait of a frustrated, agonized poet. Although it's a bit over cooked here and there. I really liked the Gollum reference. :)
love the tension in this work
well done!
these 10 lines can nearly stand alone in the poem. When I came back to read it again and again I skipped right to here. So awesome, it feels good, doesn't it?
"But the poet clenches his fist
in a Gollum dwarfing snarl
around his own his presscioussss
golden black lead and pearwood
powerless dumbass dildo
that could never write the
mumbling of that tambourine strung
heart echoing too much inside walls
of a glass bubble becoming"
too distorted to decipher"
how much I love how you express yourself! It comes out so naturally and instinctively.
I can feel the tension in the knots of my stomach and the brassy taste on my tongue. Very powerful writing. I actually took a deep breath as I finished it.
