A prize if you can tell me what this all means.


rANdOm

If it takes me all the road
I know my sense will win the race
And while in water walking red
I'll pass along the jolly sailor's tune

But choosing cheese can mortify the soul
And darkened summers twitter not
And keeping quiet little balls of sweat
Can't catch the loyal kingfisher

Ignoring now the bending trees,
I go alone into the fiery snow
And preconceptions welcome she
Who tells the world the gum is shiny.

With open door and creaking frog
He brings us gifts of pestilence
Though cheery sweet is not the past
Small children kill the laughter smells

And fancy Chemistry with blackness
Talks to rendered alien bogs
And switching over onto shadows
Chases down the walking blind

My partnership has frozen days
Who dance upon angelic light
And loneliness will lead
To lucky friendships with a greener glass

Eh, Whit ?

Went snoopin through your web pages, but couldn't sign your guest book.... (internal service error or something).

are you looking for an analysis of your poetry because you want to see how clear it is, or you just wrote it and have no idea what it means? heehee.

As I am sure you already know, poetry can mean (even the same poem) something different to many different people, and sometimes (as is the case with me,) it can mean something different, depending on the day it is read. (tho not as common, I suppose)

As I am not sure if you are looking for an overall meaning, or a break down of stanza's and lines, I will await to hear of your pleasure. Now, I have rambled enough, let me know.

I wrote it whilst in a very boring seminar, writing down phrases or nice sounding words used by the speaker, (like "fancy Chemistry") or things that I saw (door creaked open and a french guy came in, trees bedning in the wind outside), and then added random words that had the right number of syllables, or that made it sound just plausible, line by line or phrase by phrase.

I just wondered if anyone felt they were able to interpret it.

I'll check on my guestbook too.
