The Emperor of Ice-Cream

Call the roller of big cigars,
The muscular one, and bid him whip
In kitchen cups concupiscent curds.
Let the wenches dawdle in such dress
As they are used to wear, and let the boys
Bring flowers in last month's newspapers.
Let be be finale of seem.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

Take from the dresser of deal,
Lacking the three glass knobs, that sheet
On which she embroidered fantails once
And spread it so as to cover her face.
If her horny feet protrude, they come
To show how cold she is, and dumb.
Let the lamp affix its beam.
The only emperor is the emperor of ice-cream.

The Art of Poetry

May 29th 2009 17:01
Poetry can be very intimidating for many of us. However, this literary art isn’t so bad once you get the hang of it. The most important part about poetry is that it is meant to reflect us: emotions, feelings, thoughts, etc. When I first started writing poetry, I sat on the computer for 3 hours. The end product contained feeling and intensity. It is important to realize that Poetry is you in word form. Usually when I write poetry, I write about subjects that interest me such as life after death, love, and other human emotions. I also like having a story within the poem. Although, professionally this may not be “ok” who cares. What makes a professional poem? High-class word choices and subtle details? I believe that anyone can write poems. All poems are good in my eyes. We each use a different style, word choices, imagination, etc. and this contributes to progressing poetry.

I recently wrote an easy How to guide on ehow titled: How to write Poetry. IF your interested take a quick look. It won’t hurt you. You never know, you could become a professional poet one day. ☺

This is a poem i wrote about 6 months ago, and to this day has been my favorite poem. I was trying to go for a different style, having it convey meaning within the words and structure. Let me know what you guys think.
