MOCKING WORDS

Opinions form before words
they swarm every syllable
subjected to recourse the
hollow hoarse, what else
of course.

Reasons fall victim to treason
upon any plinth that shatters,
the faithful rally not now
don't dilly dally.

The brave never behave
fame etched here on the
grave, remembered in verse
departed yet still belong.

I digress at your behest
my time in passing I won't
invest, subjected but none
the less beyond the intersection
of interaction may well detest.

I'm not sure...

what form this adheres to, But I think I get the gist of it. I believe that you are saying, that unless you speak against something, and risk being called a rebel / hero, you will never stand for something. Don't flip-flop, and don't waste time, just say what you feel. ~ Geezer

Zigs,

having already seen this prior to posting, I have no critique to offer that I haven't already.

I like the theme and fully understand where you are coming from and going to with this piece.

All-in-all, a tidy job...in true 'ziggish' style.

Dear Brother Zigs,

I digress at your behest
my time in passing I won't
invest, subjected but none
the less beyond the intersection
of interaction may well detest.

I like this very much. Sometimes I just get tongue-tied and the right thing to say abandons me until after the fact. Later with my keyboard, I am much more eloquent! Damn it all!

love, Cat

Zigs,

the band name needs to incorporate what we write...so how about:

Lyrically Speaking or Poetically Speaking.

First album: Poetry In Motion

World Tour: Poetry In Motion Tour
