After Manhattan showed no interest,
a scholar from San Francisco came
to study one of our samples.
In spite of its ejectives,
he liked the eight jagged feet
and designated what he found as
Trogloraptor Juvenilia
inasmuch as it needed
a lot more growth and development.
"Yours are alike but different from
Gradungulidae," he said.
"Grand dung diddly Dada," we chortled.
"Don't worry," San Francisco replied,
"They're native to Australia
and probably will stay there."
Indeed, not to worry, he repeated
that dark and stormy night,
"Although you come from Oregon,
Les professeurs will soon ensure
theses will fill up campuses,
and worships will be formed,
Pardon, I meant to say workshops,
to master the fine art of
the deep and darkest environs
of the Trogloraptors."

Tsothaalmost 10 years agoI still miss some of the lines I read in the very first version of this poem, but then I suppose I might not miss them had I read this version first. :) Still love "Grand dung diddly Dada", it's great sound and it points toward art. I like this poem, as it is, but I'm still confused as to how the reader is supposed to see that this is about poetry "cults". I did see fun being poked at academia in general, but... Nothing specific enough to point toward your intended meaning.
todski28almost 10 years agoin new poems this makes so much sense, it had a feel that you were expressing more than on the page but I couldn't see the wood from the trees, however being a non-educated hack I doubt I would have seen the message unless you titled the piece study on poetic intricacies and how to form a cult.
Oldbear63almost 10 years agoAlmost wish you hadn't mentioned the spiders. Not what I pictured. Great Poem.
