so sterile the keys as they
punch, knock out their given slots,
each standing upright in line
like good roman soldiers do.
as resolute as stone icons
formidable yet acceptable
in all the lower 48.
times new roman......
times new roman........
me to death, crucify me
with each roman letter
because i happen to be
an odd character.
one not easily read or recognized.
i am old norse.
i am latin children parading
slowing across the page.
i am the tragic king painted
in rich iconic gold leaf.
i cant be bound in a book
i cant be put on a memo.
i don't fit in your mailbox, keyboard,
rubber stamped out font.
i am unique.
i am a character.

Yours are the best poems I've read here in a while. You take subjects and present them in a unique and original way. You're not alone in being one that does'nt fit. That's the only road I've ever known. I read your other poem Count Dracula first so I decided to give this a read as well. Not dissapointed though I did'nt know what to expect after seeing the title. Once again , excellent work. I love when someone takes time and puts thought into their work. To many simply vomit their emotions onto the page. I can't imagine why they would think such a thing would be interesting to a reader although many seem to enjoy reading just such things. Anyone can vomit.... lol.... it's takes no effort really and I find it quite unpleasant but when one such as you comes along it makes up for having to read through 30 of those lesser poems. Great work , truly , Doug |
