Four Minute Epitaph

Contributed by Silent-No-More on Sunday, 24th July 2005 @ 07:45:20 PM in AEST
Topic: AngryPoetry





Obvious indifference
In oratory time
Ignorance meets impatience
And it bleeds into the rhyme.

(tick tick tick tick)

Palpable condescension
The potency now gone
Words turn supercilious
As right dares itself to wrong

(tick tock tick clock)

Counterfeit kindheartedness
The unforgiving crime
Sentenced, you, to solitude
As I’m shackled to the rhyme.


(tock tick tock tick)

(CLICK)

Holy cow!!!
You GO Snemerella!
Reading this was like watching a written fist fight or something... it literally packs a punch.
Way to artfully convey yourself, babe!

Love and peace,

Chelsea

This one left me wondering.....How many lapses were there in conversation? I dunno why but I read it twice and I wanted to know what wasn't written and what was thought--when no words were spoken.

Of course i'm odd and i've always thought you write with a voice that is rarely copied. Meaning its very unique, the way you write and it just stands out in my mind as having said something---something more than what i've read.

Pondering this one Snem.

I loved this in more wayes than one.

Snem, you have packed such emotion into such a brief poem. Wonderful, wonderful write. I loved the ticks and tocks and clocks and then the CLICK.....just great. I also loved the conterfeit kindheartedness....I have been on the receiving end of that before and it stinks! Wonderful write, I loved it, the flow, the words usage, every thing....you created a perfect piece of prose!

As far as stink bombs go, at least this isn't the absolute worst I've seen.

Love and peace,

Chelsea

Wow, very impressive and unique! Um, very potent. It's like I could seem to sense you tapping your fingers on a table or counter (or something) being angry.

And the clock....I could hear it.

Snem, you never cease to amaze.

*hug*
