Analysis of the "poet's" trick



A pointless expulsion;
An explosion of utterances.
Synchronized not.
Thrown about,
Like sardines
In a surge.
Not cohesive,
But senselessly hurled.
Honey to the ears
And music to the taste buds.
The ignorant tricked;
 Praise busted
Foolish lips
And slapped the masters’ faces.
Speak life,
The bizarre,
With substance.
Those immortal words;
The deity
The spirits summoned,
Witnessed the ages passed.
Let hearts
Reminisce
The moments spent.
Breathe life into freedom and things,
Exhausted.
Let the legends live;
shout death to
Senseless arts,
Occupying spaces,
Echoing no graphic tale.
The rhetoric,
The lyricist piped,
Floats free;
forged thoughts
In open gaps.

Earle Francis Brown

I was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica. I was told that I can write, so I wrote and continues to write. I am currently living in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. I enjoy reading "real" poetry. My favorite books are the Pslams, Proverbs and Songs of Solomon.Poetry is not just vocabulary, and use of metaphors and formats. Don't be tricked. Poetry should speak life. I love a poem that tells a story. The most memorable poems are the ones that tell someone's story. I don't care about ratings; the truth is always hated. People are people where-ever we go. more…
