cyber bully

what does bullying ever accomplish?

 

 

 

I dare you. Anyone. Alive.

Dead. Those from Valhalla where the heroes of mythology are received.

Acheron.

Stygian.

Those from Hell.

Reasonable. Un.

Big. Plumage. Purple,

apple red eyes. You,

with the forearms like Noah

(because every animal

wont go peacefully). Those

who may just sit on my

chest like Baby Huey did iconally,

with the scowl of Luca Brasi;

to snicker at my yellow, flower

folder that kept my lower jaw

and poems of blood and herb

hidden from the light. The six inch

heel that broke off in the hall. Yes,

the one that had me

walking like Emily Dickinson

after the lonesome, virginal night.

 

Anyway.

The Chrysler wont start in the rain.

It's motor sounding as tears would

if tears were the product of drunken,

overworked men. I've been pushed.

Tormented. Not spoken to.

Long before computers, there was

this legend of a trillion Facebook friends,

all jostling for a warm place in an

after-thought I might have, had

the nymphs mistook me in the

dim, crumpled

corner.

 

Yet the river, still dirty, is a Devanagari diety,

where the sweet alphabet perch,

the silver bass still jump cononical in

imaginary boats. All real, I too

thought of beauty to be suspended

in a solution of loud thoughts. Soaring

above bird and sky until the pee ran

down my leg. But only this time in a valley

of calculated strength. Don't dare keep me

from this dream!

 

"Bade the shepherds

tell their tale of sheep and

pen them in the fold", Virgil wrote.

In other words, keep your sanity,

pure victim,

till you die.

From baby Huey to Luca Brasi....wow, talk about running the gamut! Great wading through your stream of consciousness in this one. The images you conjure are incredible....going from a Hindi alphabet to Emily Dickinson to Facebook to Noah. My goodness, so much to drink in! Mysterious and intriguing....I enjoyed it. Lydi**

Wow! Such an inward insightful journey to the introverted shadows, hiding their souls in skeleton laid closets, never called for in the words "dead wrong" RIP Lucie and the ones before her and God willing none after her..

love makes everyone crazy, it's impossible to love and stay sane at the same time unless it's of a familial variety and even then you have one of those uncles or grandmothers that is constantly waving a gun around. Thank goodness you wrote something this morning I was beginning to think I'd have to really load the damn thing to get some action around here :) The world may come and go, but one thing never changes, you are the fine print, you are the definition of brilliance. ps..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7RMKq8RQj4
Luci sleeps with the fishes :P The best way to take power away from a cyber bully is not give him any energy, just don't engage.

So many amazing lines in this one, I don't think I could pick one that stands out, always enjoy a good rant within poetry, this was a great one! Going into my favorites...
