Poetic justice myths

dark blank pages, in my soul's view

written in reasoning's default

Greek tragedies off the ledge

calculating a mindless scream

whispered under dispensation's breath

climbing the allotted wall's ballot

of poetic justice's myths 

indulgences of the spirit kind proselytized 

dealing out awards for time shares

permission granted, courtesy of unrest

brass tacks on the deck of substance

matters not the actualization

real world spun on a dime

leaving no time for still life's induction

corruption in tradition's regulations

installation's selection institutionalized 

confinement in loss of gray density

nothing lasts forever, so says the rain...

You are definitely back Mrs.R...your poems are always the toughest for me to review because it's so hard to find the words to articulate how they make me feel...you know I hold your words close to my heart though, I always have...I couldn't help but smile at the Greek tragedy reference ;) The last line is a knockout. What more can I say, you never fail to enforce the reasons as to why you're my favourite poet :) xo

[Frieda P]

Oh Benji, you're definitely getting a squishy hug and sloppy kiss for this one! Mwah! :) xo

You've completely rendered me speechless, Mama F. I'm absolutely stunned by this one. You came back with a bang and just about knocked me over... This is so powerful and the imagery is outstanding. This was like a poem that came to life right in my backyard.

Your last line, killer - perfect way to end such a beautiful poem.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

like greek tragedies, all i write is so dark...

even though there is the grey density, nothing lasts forever, there will be sun...

and the rain will not like it.

excellent personification in this piece.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much for your kind words jacob.

[Ivory]

This small piece is so full of creativity and meaning. We are not limited in life, even if it may seem that way.
A very well written piece : )

[Frieda P]

I suppose we construct our own limitations sometimes, thanks so much Ivory. :)

[Ivory]

My pleasure ; )
