    Re: The Poetasters' Korner

    I'm so confused...

    At first I thought I was In Love, but with all this defiance of Pastor Ezekiel, I must ask myself: Is Brother Peter, in fact, one of these Seventh-Day Adventurists come to try to put a Hoodoo on us?

      The poem I made of him is an honorarium.
      It has nothing to do with worshiping "rocks".

      Tell Junior someone, please,
      that "metaphor" is part of language, even in the Bible.


      To be likened to a rock, is to say that he is strong, simple in purpose
      and causes great pain (smarts) when he hurls himself at the unGodly heathens.

      Someone please tell him that the poem is a rare gift.

      I don't recall such ingracious reaction to any gift of mine, ever before.
      Then again, I never wrote a poem before to a lump of...idiot rock.
      Ouch, he hit me, oww, ha ha

      I suppose God is punishing me
      with him.

      BONK
      oww!
      He threw himself upon me again!
      Begon! ya homer ROCK

      Never mind love,at least you got the "simple" bit right.


      Although of course...you DID forget the equally as dense part.
      In order to be old & wise,you must first be young & stupid.

        Oh, I don't know if you can be one to throw ROCKS there, Zekey, if you've been observed to be 'hard as a rock' by an observing man. Don't worry though. He surely must have been referring to your brain.

          Ah, the magic of poetry.
          Everyone reads it a bit differently--and that was my intent.
          "total stoner" should be sensed several ways.
          The primary sense is that he stones people in the good old Biblical sense.
          In a way, he's drunk on Biblical stonerism. That's fine by me.

          I just like to point things out--and distill little truths about ourselves.
          Hell, I do it about -myself- too

          Strange? You bet. Because I'm a one of a kind eccentric.
          And eccentric isn't bad. Not if it's sane. And oh, I am sane.

          ----

          Sister Sue: There is no undercurrent of chicnanery in your verse.
          You are good hearted and pure and real, always. So that is your verse.
          I am very fond of you in the wholesome way.
          I would not even try to compete with your love for Jesus, for I am married,
          and besides, I'm an old, worn out, faulty nothing.

          That's that, and I'm quite content within my skin.

          Thanks, all, for your constructive criticisms.
          I learn to write better by studying your heartfelt reactions.

          Where is Ixi, though? I hope she likes her verse.

          I'll make more of these in time,as I learn more about my new friends here.
          I consider critics to be friends, no matter how harsh they may be.

          Pastor Ezekiel is OK; just a bit on the rocky side when it comes to
          controlling his incredibly "gentle" agression.

          It's good to stretch ourselves, to think clearly and to respond
          in supportive ways to odd, or even disarranged people.
          Jesus demands this: that we look into the heart of things
          and see more than that three letter word.

          It's what ministering is about.

          Cheers,

          Peter
          simple!

              I do enjoy to poke fun at myself and at everyone, nearly.

              But I won't poke fun at you--Like Sister Sue, you offer
              insights to the balanced mind. A mature man,
              whatever year you were given to us, was a good year indeed.

              That you are here, as a stabilizing influence is a fine and important thing.
              Your humor is always crystalline. I liked you from first meeting.

              I really did. I really do think it's important to tell people who are good;
              to tell them that they are appreciated.

              And for the less-perfected of us? Always offer a lifeline of love.

              Kidding aside, now, I would not want to harm anyone here.
              It may be rough play at times. I couldn't really even harm a mouse.
              I even doubt my resolve to toss caticks into the Litter Box of Hell.

              But! We must keep resolve. So I listen and react. Father Lester needs
              a verse!

              Who should make it?

                Hmmmm.......Sister Sue.....

                Yes, a good sport all 'round. But I don't mean SHE'S all round, just her sport. Sister Sue's mind is......that is to say, she's part Swedish. Or Norwichian. All of those foreign countries confuse me and make JESUS weep.

                GOD, in His infinite mercy allowed me to be cut out of the womb in an explosion of blood and gore in the Year of Our Lord after the first American all-jet production bomber was designated.

                    O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



                    God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave.

                      rubber gloves and safety goggles?

                      Suggesting if I may, the trusty oxy-acetylene torch?
                      Muriatic acid? Or quick lime. The former is a flesh digestant.
                      The latter burns the eyes.


                      Oh--Ginsu knives are Ronco sharp...

                      I don't know.
                      Whatever you do, you'll make it subtle for our friend.
                      Surely there's no need for end rhyme. I like to mix alliteration,
                      ass-o-nance and occasional end rhymes, and slant rhyme.
                      That is, I won't hold to roses are red stuff.
                      I like to make the thing irregular. Besides, that's easier for the writer.
                      Look for recitability by reading aloud as you write,
                      and break lines to provide the recitation inflections, pauses, etc?
                      That's what I do. And I can assure you, everybody (except for Sister Sue Vera)
                      hates my poetry.

                      ----

                      "The Party Priest" suggests itself--a good title.
                      Much to work from there. But that's my style.
                      You do it all your own way. You know best.

                              I do believe you are flirting with this man.

                              I hope you have a Chaperone?
