Blah.  Poetry didn't go through an amazing resurgence with the coming of the internet; what surged was people's ability to get in other people's faces without ever having to properly commit to any kind of relationship.  This nice safe little interface created a haven for the imagination, but there was a problem: imaginations just aren't what they used to be.  As a consequence of two or three generations of being told precisely what to think, how to act, who to vote for and so forth etc ad infinitum, "creativity" has come to mean "see what else is around that you like and think you can manage, then copy it".  The personal diary became the public blog, and poetry in the key of I was soon de rigueur.  ... more Leanne Hanson Having a moan Tue, 08 Dec 2009 22:43:21 GMT /section-661-having-a-moan#comments 24 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/10384 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/10384 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A10384 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10372-does-not-compute https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10372-does-not-compute   My personal computer's in love: its VDU is wan, its CPU on fire; its microchip can barely live without its silicon desire.   Its QWERTY keys appeal for poems of love that's unrequited; all its system files and programs are failing fast benighted.   No input logic can make it whole: the hard disk of its heart is broke; the ROM and RAM are up in smoke ... more u668857 The Personal Space of U668857 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:16:46 GMT /section-449-the-personal-space-of-u668857#comments 1 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/10372 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/10372 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A10372 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10367-songs-upon-a-sea https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10367-songs-upon-a-sea Ice would cling to the rooftops; slender fingers clasping December, clutching the moon in silver apathy. The cat howled at the wolf in the dark. Hunger having seeped into empty bellies and the night deepened, ripe with blood; death hidden behind every shadow. The Merrimack smelled of winter: its slow decay ebbing and flowing, like teeth gnashing on old bread. Tell me again, when we walked this river, when your skin was warm beneath your coat and the sway of these hips caused you to shiver, tell me again you used to love. The stars weep what my eyes cannot. I sing you songs upon a sea of ice, but the woods won't answer your name, and my soul is too old for these bones. ... more Jasmine Mann Jasmine's Poetry Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:07:35 GMT /section-72-jasmine-s-poetry#comments 2 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/10367 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/10367 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A10367 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10353-the-warmth-of-winter https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10353-the-warmth-of-winter ~just...something~ Suter Bill The imPersonal Space of rws Tue, 20 Jan 2009 23:20:40 GMT /section-416-the-impersonal-space-of-rws#comments 6 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/10353 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/10353 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A10353 https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10400-post-life-syndrome https://www.dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/article-10400-post-life-syndrome Girl of Hept Mercieca, Andrew MosquitoBytes Volume 06: Decried Deity -
