its' tyro-technics
shooting out of asphalt cracks.
This poem is a snot-nosed brat
full of SASS
(short attention span sentences).
This poem is the hope of audacity.
This poem is fumbling with bra straps
and tongue-tied techniques,
This poem isn't old enough
to know any better, it's wet
behind the ears green,
petting zoo pellets green,
willing to SCREAM green,
but not part of
a gang green.

Its envious of
solar panel studios with eyes on the price
of a venti economy.
This poem is the green-eyed monster
of product placement pick-o-the profit

consumer obedience the easy culprit;
but really,
this poem just wishes it could sing.

I would totally buy it.

Enjoyed!

First and foremost, the pseudonym is great. That in itself sets up tone to me. The poem is absurd in the best way. Selling or being recognized for poetry is for the elite, not men like Prufrock. But the poem conveys an element of awareness and knowing. I love the evidence of forced emotional distance in the work. To capitalize on words is every writer's ultimate goal. This makes the poem tongue-in-cheek but with a center layer of intellegence and like Eliot, a poetic knowing, the ability to provoke thought, and a bit of poking fun at the audience. Well done.

Thanks All

I appreciate the very kind comments and support. While I love this site for my own personal enjoyment, I wasn’t too sure how my poems would work on the site. I am quite encouraged by the feedback, and have begun to delve into the abundance of quality and arousing poetry that is here (and keeps coming in daily.) Cheers all!
