It's Been Said Before And After, Worse And Better

It's Been Said Before And After, Worse And Better

A Poem by Esoteric Strand
"

Some more light-verse

"

There are stars in the night sky
No
There are lights that adorn a darkened sky.
No
A shrouded, beclouded atmosphere
is huddling about isolated orbs.
No
There are twinkling somethings
navigating through the opposite of daylight.
No
Wait…
No
There are various tears in midnight’s blanket
No!
There are millions of holes punched in
black by divine white bullets.
No
There’s a whole bunch of white things
on a big, black thing.
No
There are mystical crystal flickerlings
pecked in some sprawling onyx draperies.
Hell No!
There are stars in the night sky
Yes

This is a very interesting poem. The questioning style is interesting and original. It makes the reader ponder and it makes me wonder whether the person questioning is a child or a poet or whether the answerer is a child or a philosopher. Very thought provoking indeed. And almost philosophical yet innocent in its wonderment and questioning. It reminds me in some way of a Jean-Luc Godard film and of the book Sophie's World.

I enjoyed how indecisive a poet can be, yet he figures out the best for his poem.
This is real good. Great lines:
"There are mystical crystal flickerlings
pecked in some sprawling onyx draperies."

HAHAAHA! Yes those rerun scenes we write as poets can be a b*****d of a bear to tackle....and sometimes, it's just better to call it what it is. This looks like my own personal notes when I get that uninspired haze that wraps around my head and smothers my best intentions. This is great poetry.

Haha, love it. Yes, so little is original anymore. Sometimes the simple way is the best way and embellishment and change can be over rated.
