How goes it everybody... Ok, this is my first challenge, mostly because I'm bored to death and I've never done it before. I used to get a lot of replies to my poems from people saying that they didn't understand all of my meaning or was confused with the piece as a whole. Looking back at some of my old posts, I agree that the poems are pretty obscure and cryptic but alas, they do have meaning, just not obvious meanings. I've been called more of a wordsmith than a poet because of the strange wording I use. And I tend to write to purposely make people feel uncomfortable. So there's the challenge. Write outside of your comfort zone. Write something uncomfortable for the reader and "cryptic" (but make sure it means something). Use word blends that you normally wouldn't. I don't know, I just think it'll be fun. Just put it in the open forum and leave a link. I'll post one too. It'll be interesting to see who takes the challenge. I can't wait.

This one might pass the ed-ometer. lol. Be it wayyerd nuff? Mustard Seeds A man I saw, plowed field striding Sowing for a crop and singing- “Some must die so more may live” Bending bow-legged down the field With jerk of elbow splaying wide Mustard seeds - the yellow fragments Spilling out from his iron-scarred hide The sower with the spiky hat Is followed by the iron teeth Chewing clay to a silky mat And hiding mustard underneath But when his sowing finished he The teeth they caught and ground him fine Dung dear bought indeed but yet- The field grows mustard tall as pine |

Grim Challenge When shinning teethed circular saw Slowly moved on to your head The sparkles of rainbows Dimmed the stars in the evening sky Invisible hands dragged away The gray giant who tried peeking And all the mess was washed off By morning’s misty eyes. ************** When the rising moon quietly climbed onto your bed The stars shunned the moon’s luring light And breeze shielded the eyes of aging cloud When morning came the moon ran to hide.

Hi Edster! This is about as cryptic as I ever get. A poem with a hidden meaning. My God, I feel corrupted. I’m bored to death and I haven’t done it before. It might be something to look forward to, but I’m not sure. It’s a forty acre carnival, and you’re the side show. Everybody has a first time, unless they have no times at all. Jimbeaux |

Souless sleeping, while laying above the sky your thoughts turn to turmoil in front of your eyes The words you speak transcend time, yet are lies From the heavens you shall crash down on earth Your eternAl slumber has faded away seemlessly But you own desinty is a reccuring reprocussion of your own suffering and inhibition to be alive. Hope taht made sense to you grim. I kinda freestyled that one. |
