Sonicl's sonnets VS Jim Morrison's poetry

porkmarras · 08.11.2006, 05:49 AM

Shakespere is the moderator here, so careful about who you choose.Poll on the way.

Pookie · 08.11.2006, 05:55 AM

Oh, if ever there was a poll with a foregone conclusion.

sonicl of course.

If anybody disagrees, have a word with yourself.

fishmonkey · 08.11.2006, 05:55 AM

not too sure what yr sonnets sound like sonicl but its a damm sight better than "whipping the horses eyes" and "kissing the serpent on the tongue"

Pookie · 08.11.2006, 05:57 AM

You had to spoil a serious poll with a joke option

sonicl · 08.11.2006, 05:57 AM

Barbara Cartland sets aflutter the hearts of ladies everywhere. I can only set aflutter the hearts of small children. I know whose hearts I'd prefer to set aflutter, so I'm going to vote against myself.

I was sure that sonicl would get most of the votes anyway.

See the Wrongness of Jim Morrison's poetry thread for sonicl's masterpieces.

Why?

sonicl · 08.11.2006, 06:02 AM

I'm a bit concerned about how I would handle fame, particularly the groupies. If someone would be willing to act as my minder, though, I may reconsider.

Did you mention groupies?

I think it's long overdue. I hope Kitty's request for a bee poem has reawakened your muse.

I walked into this thread like a child walking into the middle of a movie at the theatre...I am out of tune.

I'll take my muse down the pub this evening and see if a couple of pints of Fullers will loosen its tongue.

Hip Priest · 08.11.2006, 06:44 AM

Are there extant copies of sonicl's sonnets that one might peruse before voting?

No match!

They can't write in a serious vein because they know little, so they play this jokey-jokey game to make excuses for writing tripe. You see, that way, they can write dopey bullshit & just claim that "it's all in good fun."

It's a character defense mechanism-in-action, pure & simple.

porkmarras · 08.11.2006, 09:34 AM

Oh really?Put morrison's poetry against this and then we'll see atari:

At This Moment Of Time

Some who are uncertain compel me. They fear
The Ace of Spades. They fear
Loves offered suddenly, turning from the mantelpiece,
Sweet with decision. And they distrust
The fireworks by the lakeside, first the spuft,
Then the colored lights, rising.
Tentative, hesitant, doubtful, they consume
Greedily Caesar at the prow returning,
Locked in the stone of his act and office.
While the brass band brightly bursts over the water
They stand in the crowd lining the shore
Aware of the water beneath Him. They know it. Their eyes
Are haunted by water

Disturb me, compel me. It is not true
That "no man is happy," but that is not
The sense which guides you. If we are
Unfinished (we are, unless hope is a bad dream),
You are exact. You tug my sleeve
Before I speak, with a shadow's friendship,
And I remember that we who move
Are moved by clouds that darken midnight.

Delmore Schwartz

It's certainly no match for a brilliant line for the ages such as "Woke up this morning and I got myself a beer."

Where did he get the muse for such brilliant turns of phrase?
