Felony Poetry
In the shadowy enclaves
of the city…
Masked poets run free.
Following the whims
of those-thems.
Place to place.
Stopping at points
that cause pause...
Creating havoc…
Like an origami construct
with inter-dimensional
sounds - of tin foil
Crinkled…
Instantaneous
And then… ghost
Nobody knows.
As the flames rise
& purify
The lies in the eyes
of poetry
Cellular soulful solar… Incised
in
fire
from
the
skies

Author's Note
This write was inspired by LilDragonFly's piece, entitled "Poetry". Twas a very beautiful, thought provoking write. In the Author's Notes she states:
"How poetry can undo me ... it really should be against the law ..."
I was thinking about this, sort of in the back of my mind...
I just pictured like... this sort of "crime wave of poetry".?.
Like... A poetry riot... LOL. Shit burning everywhere... No one can stop it...
People watching live streams of the thing.
Okay... So after I crafted this piece... I was looking for an apropos pic of a mask... or... A "masked poet" and I came across this instagram poet, named, Atticus... I truly believe this illustrates the magic of poetry... (this chain of events).

Like a poetic rampage. I like this. Very creative. My favorite lines are:
As the flames rise
& purify
The lies in the eyes
of poetry
As the flames rise
& purify
The lies in the eyes
of poetry

"Poetic Rampage"
I like this terminology very much. Makes me very happy.
Another thought that came to mind, when I was writing this, was the idea of like how in a prison, all sorts of things are happening, with so many people up to no good, and the guards are running here, and running there, confused, falling all over themselves in horrified shock, in response to the chaos.
I see a parallel in the activities, here at DUP... Through a certain prism... Everyone popping in and popping out... Exploding on the page. ...
I feel like I would like to write more about this... :))
Thank you for sharing your thoughts Damon.

True in the forms of all social media... anonymous wars of words causing hurt, suicide, loss of reputation etc., but also polar reactions, i.e., optimism, joy, useful information....
Your poem conjures up a plausible SNL skit where people cower as poets wield their power!

Awesome insight...
Yes. I love this addition to the plausibility of my... Evolving vision?
Okay... I have a great deal of thoughts, regarding "technology", and our interactions, therein...
My mind is going places right now.
Many thanks Pent.

Great topic, and comments. I love the inspiration burning up this page!
“Masked poets run free”
It’s only natural we would fall into anarchy, write? 😉 I have a personal affair with defiance.
Thanks for sparking this flame, cipher. Let’s keep it lit!

You have inspired me greatly with your spirit of defiance. Many thanks, Nightbirdblue.
Sorry good friend I’ve been busy all day constructing the story I’ve been crafting. I will be back later tonight or perhaps over coffee In the morrow and I will render you a deserving comment.
Lol i’m still in Puritan mode lmaO!
