~ Poetic Fashion ~
As a poet I share
Much like the wanton coquette
Seductively attempting
To convey, "Beyond Compare!"
Avoiding the pedantic
Wrestling with the romantic
While dancing with other writers
A most respectful minuet
But I daresay I hate
The wistful wanton allegory
Seductively strategic
In the guise of Godly poetry
Driving the religious
Down deep throats as delicious
While never admitting
Poetic design is much bigger
Oh, when will the quill
Let go its feathered design
Seductively inventing
An "au courant" form of flying
Pushing the boundaries
Of liberal libraries
All the while waltzing with writers
Like old fashioned scribes
As a poet
I take action,
I do so with my sword,
In poetic,
Fashion....

Hello, Tony.
Wow, you really put those religious, pious, more righteous than thou sheeple in their rightful place, bro!
I had a knock down, dragged out feud of words with a religious poet on another writing site who said I should use my talent for writing (if any, ahem...) to glorify God and stop promoting darkness.
Huh?!?
I've read his poetry more times than I can shake a stick at and always commented favorably on it as well, but have never judged him...until now.
Awesome writing, my fiend...errrr, heh-heh...I meant friend, of corpse...course!
(Dammit...)
?~?Professor Poe?~?
WOW!! DEAN!!..... I'm SO sorry I never saw this awesome comment back when it was more relevant!!..... regardless, I can't just let it lie here unanswered!!...... First I would like to sayΒ simply, and as humbly as possible, that anyone who promotes God with the Pen and then expects others to do so just because they think themselves 'righteous' in their pursuit of 'poetic persuasion' has misinterpreted God's will all together....'nuff said (I hope).... and secondly, I would just like to add that anyone brave enough to get into a public feud with a poet who has your skill set and expects to make some headway when asking you to change your obvious love of your poetic 'bent of nature' (if you will)..... is simply a pompous ass who deserves to be publicly 'drawn & quartered'!!Β Of course, this is just my humble opinion!!.....I wonder if you might point me in this person's direction.....I am sincerely interested in reading some their stuff!!! Not for any subversive reasons just because if they were capable of getting your dander up then they must have some skills of their own and I'm ALWAYS looking for new arenas!!!......Thanx SO much for the 'way cool' comment on my work PROFESSOR!!...... talk soon?......I hope so!!...... peace n stuff!!.......T xo ?β΄β€
His name is Roy Owen, Tony, and he hails from the Land Down Under.
He's very skilled and I've always enjoyed reading his poetry.
I would NEVER ask him to stop writing about God or his religious beliefs as that is his right to do so. Just as he should not have implied that I will go to Hell if I don't stop writing about the supernatural.
Take care, bro.
Enjoy your weekend.
~Dean
Thank you PROFESSOR!!..... you're a pleasure..... so happy you came to COSMO man!!..... wouldn't be the same without you!!..... enjoy your weekend as well!!..... I'm going to be working on the new house with C!!.....we're excited and frazzled by all the work required on a new house..... but hey, it's worth it!!..... Thanks again Dean!! ~ Peace N Stuff!! ~.Β Β Β Β T xo ?β΄β€
Wow so amazing and powerful!
Thank You SALI !!....so glad you liked it my poetic friend!!...... Peace!!......T xo ?β΄β€
My Dear Brother Tony,
The pen be mightier than the sword, I know
For it cuts a path of words aflow
In verse I dance with poetic mates
Who absorb my prose, their thirst it sates
Love,
Larry xxx
YAY!! LARRY!!.... apologies bro....I didn't see this until just now!!..... and I have to say that succinctly speaking...... your comment is a better poem than my original...... but that's just succinctly speaking of course!! (Big Smiles)....... stay groovy!!...... Peace n stuff!!.....T xo ?β΄β€
