R.I.P. "Action Poetry"
R.I.P. "Action Poetry"
Awhile back, didn't I say I'd hang out here more often? Now that the Creative board is flatlining, maybe I'll swap some chops with the big bops.
Speaking of flatlining...
R.I.P "Action Poetry".
Used to feed on its electricity,
wild, jagged stream of multiplicity,
no reason rhyme complicity.
Now stunted reactivity.
Its flow locked in captivity.
No reggae roots jam livity,
if that were yr. proclivity.
Action poets and no action.
Stutter step in traction faction.
Diction drained to a fraction.
Action poets, no reaction.
Long live the editor.
Stare all nite at a monitor.
Jamming a jam like janitor.
Missing votes like a Senator.
All the king's horses at bay,
O say can we come out to play?

hey, man,
it takes a while to sweep round here
whatcha thinking, it's an auomatic reply system
hell no
gotta wait yer turn
gotta pass the censor
gotta spell 2/3rds of yer words
and know the right tempo
and rest in peace, my ass, man
no one rests round here
it's the honour system
i pledge to write in something like english
and you pledge to hedge my bet
by writing in something like english
something like this
or not
no peace for the linguists
gotta arm up and prepare for siege

the try's
the thang
my twang
won't change
shoulda
coulda
woulda
dah!
i go there
@1 time
my religion
action poetry
that is
i guess what
bugs me the most
is that they won't
take input about
the matter
the bottom line is
that it is there's
maybe as long as you have
quality the quantity
of poets
does not matter
a lot of good
came from this
abandonment too!
meanwhile i chomp
around the action
fringes.........

judih... cool, just checkin'. i'm new here.
talented, the LK troupe,
poets, lit scholars, savvy critics
published, quite accomplished,
seeking quality over quantity,
hip hoppin' the ny lit scene,
name-droppin', beat-boppin',
ginsy kesey kerouac bivouac,
authors, teachers, in-tel-lect,
yet mor-i-bund,
dead-a-rooni.
celebrate the beats
by censoring the beat.
a jam sitting on its hands...
"the essence of action poetry is speed,
sponteneity, and responsiveness", it
says so right on the label, no need babel,
like U and I slippin' verse under the table,
fabled or unstable, ready, willing and able.
but the flow was knocked into next week,
hide and seek, now U don't, now U see 'em,
got the sponteneity of a mu-se-um...
puzzling laundry.
math problem quandary.
webmasters overwhelmed,
cut real-time boards from 21 to done,
but why not just one?
just asking.
