Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Scribes old did assert that authentic Bards
delighted each their Muse with eerie form;
words, yawped dry Polonius, should to yards
remain confined, 'ere minds --and bodies--harm.
And with this postulate truth might subsist,
perhaps, and prove decorum's sane advice:
letter'd knaves, lacking order, mewl, and twist
their follies, as rogues hotly cast their dice.
Yet cold measures oft' fairer pleasures stall,
and dull the spirit drawn towards the Sun;
Pedants' rules, while not unheeded, appall
Hyperion; strictness mars his run.
An intermixture, sacred yet profane
may suffice to remove old nature's stain.

"tru dat"
the bard said to his ward

and spat on humpty-dumpty
fallen walls

the ward
appalled
picked up a Picasso
blue period perfection
and sipped it in his pocket

"tru dat"
the ward said to his bard

which came first--
the omelet
the chiken liver pate
or the vegetarian eco-faschist?

same ward and bard
painted pretty and fantasy
and guernica was certainly blue
and certaqinly fantastic

and ward and bard don't rhyme

tru dat

You are so right, man, and your MoralVision, too--whoa.

Where did vegetarian come from? OR omelette. Ward. Wart? How did you derive such inferences? Veggie I am not.

I was awaiting your scansion! Slant rhymes--too are permissable--- Perhaps you've read Yeats (not that I rilly admire that irish monkey's verse)--- somewhat preferable to Keats. And yes, I cribbed ""appall""" from none other than hackmeister Blake , minister of Earthshake


(rilly Im no poet, jus' jazzin with phorm---but poesy is meant to be in like italian or latin anyways. AS Ez said, itz dead) “Vulgas vult decepi”.

My Italian is in need of mercy....

Have you finished like Book X of the Republic yet---Not to say an essay or two from Pound's How to Read? Nietzsche as well--not overly fond of versifiers---

Anyhoo, genius-thespian, I would appreciate it if you simply refrained from commenting on my posts.
