SRO for the Poetry Show

Description:
It is about poetry. It is a piece in the vein of Metaphor Whore.
SRO for the Poetry Show
It was SRO for the poetry show that featured a bawdy bard of a broad. Her advertised and anticipated reaction was to raise a dead desire: resurrecting the life of love with one part revival and another strip tease. She preferred verse that was in their faces which barred no holds or exotic configurations. As she recited her poems the words became luscious, decadent, and delicate lap dancers. The exhibitionist vulgar vocabulary slowly slipped off its pretentious attire, extending the titillation and jiggling in the raw. The audience smiled, delighted and tightened with excitement at the way the naughty words shimmied, swayed, teased and played. The rowdy crowd rewarded each poem with applause, hoots and shouts. As they always do, this night ended too soon. The listeners left. Many arrived home and found a pen in an attempt to satisfy themselves. Still others embraced their spouses, whispering about poetry and love. |

| you reminded of something I just read last night - "This is a poetry we are seeking, corroded, as if by acid, by the labours of man's hand, pervaded by sweat and smoke, reeking of urine and of lilies soiled by diverse professions in and outside the law. A poetry a impure as a suit or a body, a poetry stained by food and shame, a poetry with wrinkles, observations, dreams .....hatred, beasts, blows, idylls, manifestos, denials, doubts .... the poetic product will be stamped with the .... scars of teeth and ice slightly consumed by sweat and war...." -Pablo Neruda - it goes on much longer, but its gorgeous about poetry from your gut. I love it, and it seems to be the kind of poetry your friend in this poem reads, the only kind worth listening to if you ask me (but what to I know?) the only thing I would suggest is you have made it like an erotic dance - but maybe you have held yourself back a little? why not really dance with it, it seems to still be held in check emotionally - I can't make suggestions how, but I think if you wanted to you could really open it up and make it much more powerful. | Posted on 2005-12-14 00:00:00 | by glasshill | [ Reply to This ] | Ok, I do this because I simply love your work. THIS WAS SO DIRTY! LMAO, just kidding, I loved it. Your portrayed poetry in a way I never thought of it before. When you write, you really are truly nked, and they are seeing the inside from the outside, and the words to bring out some desire in you because you get to see the whole deep person, and you see them in a way of new ligh. Also, there are more than one ay to celebrate poetry, and that was in the last stanza with the others embracing the spouses, and the play on words is so fun, and I have to say only a true poet could embrace it, and turn it inside out as you just did. Sorry for the next dirty lines, but you are naked, and you are beautiful. Take care. | Peace and much love, Aya | Posted on 2005-11-23 00:00:00 | by EmpathicAya | [ Reply to This ] | Chrystine you are a wonder! | This poem s so witty and clever ..I just love the picture it paints….and it is so true words do seduce As she recited her poems the words became luscious, decadent, and delicate lap dancers. The exhibitionist vulgar vocabulary slowly slipped off its pretentious attire, extending the titillation and jiggling in the raw. and this last part is so funny and naughty it put a smile on my face that won't go away it is just so clever I wish I had written it Many arrived home and found a pen in an attempt to satisfy themselves.

My only pick was maybe a typo "bared no holds" did you mean "barred no holds?" Otherwise I thought it was perfect. Well done indeed, a fabulous idea, and well presented be happy Graeme | Posted on 2005-11-13 00:00:00 | by wewak11 | [ Reply to This ] | this is great Chrystine! i remember Metaphor | Whore and really enjoyed that one too. i love the bawdiness here. you make the words and the poem come alive. "delicate lap dancers" is great. you show here how poetry can inspire, how the words can find their way into our heart and soul. great work! peace, ~Cat | Posted on 2005-11-13 00:00:00 | by magnicat | [ Reply to This ] | I thought everyone knew that SRO is standing room only but maybe it's just us older folks! This was a nice little venture into what a slam is like. I've never been to one but I really should sometime. I did go to a poetry reading at my university which was pretty good so I imagine slams are even more exciting. I like the way your words undressed themselves. nice write. | | Posted on 2005-11-13 00:00:00 | by sierramuse8 | [ Reply to This ] | Very interesting write...i really like it overall but i think it loses its flow/meter and im not sure if its just the way i read it or not...btw what is SRO? lol attempting to figure this out distracted me the first time i read through lol...stormy | | Posted on 2005-11-13 00:00:00 | by stormyskies | [ Reply to This ] | |
