Poem -
" POETIC FASHION "
As a poet I share,
Much like the wanton coquette
Seductively attempting
To convey, "Beyond compare"
Avoiding the pedantic
Wrestling 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 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
While waltzing with writers
Like old fashioned scribes
As a poet I take action
I do so with my sword
In poetic
Fashion..
Tony Taylor

you are indeed a 'statesman' brother T, well said, art for the sake of art as apposed to art being used to promote agendas; religious or political or otherwise (Pablo Neruda was very political, haven't read those poems from him, lol) respect for the genre should be upheld, inspiration is sacred and should move the pen,Β in a perfect world....and in saying this, T, I'm notΒ completely sure if I caughtΒ allΒ you're saying in the poem, as I read between the lines, I love that... it isΒ so rich and layered, nonetheless I'm sureΒ you have many more nuggets of gold placed in this intriguing write, my highly diplomatic and talented brother... enjoyed, as always, D... hugs
WOW!! ~ Thanx so much CHRIS!!...... ya know, it was because of you that I bought some Pablo Neruda books of poetry....... you mentioned how I write like him so I had to see for myself...... He's definitely more political....... but...... have you read his book of Ode's?......he has an "Ode to A Salt Shaker" that is stellar......thanx for going through this write with a fine tooth comb.....I believe that those who do get more out of my stuff because I'm fond of hiding little references within my context....... you B Da Bomb brother........ love this comment!!....... talk soon?.......LOVE and ROCKETS!!........T xo

Thanx MARK!!...... always love it when you stop by my page bro!!.........LOVE and ROCKETS!!.........T xo

My dear Poetic Brother Tony,
I am a believer in you, who taketh up your sword and slice through the modern boundaries of mores.Β Don't avoid the "pedantic", for your followers need a great leader to part the Red Sea.Β Take us to "The Promised Land", oh exalted one!
Peace, Love and Rockets,
