Glyph Wars
Perfect The once serene page
White a battlefield
Page.
Glyphs overtake figures
characters fall
The hand hesitates under the unrelenting
the brush has second thoughts brush-
impatient ink demands-
Awareness flickers across
Drips the script
cohesion gives way
an eternity to coherence
A bubble of undreamt creation Until
boils on a sea of pure parchment the complete passage
The brush hears is set
inks mocking cry-
From Perfection
And strikes to Chaos
each arc to Order
timed with a breath
marking a path The inks fulfillment
the brush’s pride
Meaning settles the hands misstep-
into these roads
content spreads Spilt ink devours
as the ink dries concept
running process in reverse
The brush renewed ending with a-
understands the game-
the ink it holds Perfect
whispers of patterns to come Black
Page.
Brush alerts hand
and the hunt is on The hand reaches
for the white ink.

I wrote this poem some time ago in Word- and found it again
just now. I high lighted it to cut and paste onto the board here to share. The original was typed in two long vertical columns and when it copied to the board here- they combined
like a bad transporter accident. The results are possibly better than the original. S'funny. Maybe later I'll repost the original to compare to this edit- maybe not; I like this version quite a bit.

Call that a good transporter accident... I like it. Yeah, it would be interesting to see "the original"-- I find myself trying to figure out what that might have been.

yeah, i thought it was a bit um, wordy.
But it makes a surprising amount of sense for what hapened to it!

That was pretty good Snipe, your language use got a bit beyond me in it though, lol! Very good though I liked the ending "the hunt is on", reminded me of me attacking a white piece of paper with my pencil when i draw! Heaps cool thanx

Re: Bizarre formating poem re-edit

The first time I read this poem I thought 'bizarre' was an apt description, as I tried to follow its words. The second time I came back to it, not having re-read it immediately, I found myself trying to separate the lines as they would have appeared had they 'transported' into two vertical columns as originally intended. The third time, again not re-reading it immediately, I again read the lines as they actually appeared here, and came to have an appreciation of the poem in this re-edited format. A very complex poem!
