8 The Transformer in the Fanatic’s city

User Rating:

9.8 /10
(12 votes)



  Is it an amusement park
Or a lover’s park?
Nor it is a murderous wicked park

Filled with
Bloody dark Ponds
where.....

Charmed jelly fish spy...
Piranhas try and angels cry
Dolphins die while sharks survive

Dementors with crooked breath
Strive to present me with wicked wreath

The park of death
Where my ex
Cut me with an axe
Till I drowned, and moaned

It is the crooked park where angels
Were locked by wicked rules
Making me feel I'm a l livid mule

Am I the innocent mule?

Nor I am
The livid mule turned to
A lunatic duke
By shocks and stilettos

Then
I transformed to a Magneto* ………
Attacked every shores
Filled with Mermaids and housemaids
Turned it in to the Forsaken park

The loving university
Turned to a Pompeii city
By my insanity

Who am I now?
Am I still the Magneto, the crooked one in the wicked park?
The lunatic in the fanatic’s park?

Am I the Wilson* or Hitler?
Aragon* or Caesar?
Nor I m just a weak creature

A pathetic Orc*
In death bed
Who wants the city resurrected..




I felt this is a, nonsensical poem.. I mean I wrote this one just to get my emotions out! ! ! some people in university think I talk nonsense at times, ..I left a small note explaining what this poem really means..but everyone who visited me said reader must play a part too...so I deleted them..so it is up to you to leave your gem's and rocks.....And if any one get really confused, turn to Barbara Lynn Terry's analysis


Notes

*Magneto- In X Men series, ….Magneto has been the X-Men's most prominent enemy ever since his first appearance.
*Wilson- reference to Woodrow Wilson
*Aragon- A warrior in LOTR
*In Lord of the Rings Orcs are often portrayed as misshapen humanoids with brutal, warmongering, sadistic, yet cowardly tendencies,

This poem gets the reader's mind racing. On the surface it is full of fantastical fictional characters and images, but underneath there are some heart-felt questions and emotions surrounding one's true nature and their significance in this troubled life. Although innovative and amusing, the mule analogy is especially moving. A provocative and affecting piece. S :)

Indeed a perfect blending and brewing of senses subtle! !
Wow! !

Shan, my friend, i agree with Vivi, Bob and Karin. I am always left speechless by the extent, beauty and talent of your imagination. Thank you so very much for sharing that talent with us. :)
  Karin Anderson  (8/1/2009 1:18:00 AM)

As suggested Shan, I read Barbara Terry's comment and I agree with her excellent comment so will not repeat her words. You are able to blow your mind out to amazing images that are totally you Shan. However, somehow I compare you to Lewis Carol as he has an amazing imagination too! You are bring something so different to Poemhunter, and yet much of what you write is on different within the poem as this one is, and I commend you for this! 10 Karin Anderson

Sashendra, you have a rare talent for imaginative writing and this poem is a example of that. 'If you take delight in your own talents you will achieve perfection'
(The Geeta) Is saying you do not have to have the approval of others, it is only your ego that requires their praise, so be yourself and do what you true self requires. Bob Blackwell

  Vidi Writes  (6/8/2009 8:25:00 AM)

When one exhibits a rare notion
Every chance that the one gets caught in the frame
Of being fanatic.
When thousands share the same rare perception
The idea bounce into a conception of normal human
of being moderates.
This is life after all.
They laugh at him because he is not like them
He wonders why can't they be different.

These are my takes on this wonderful write.
Dear poet, you really rock here.

shashendra...a fantastic nonsensical poem which turned out to be very senseful to me...I loved it...very creative...10
  John Lyday  (6/3/2009 2:48:00 PM)

I don't think it's nonsense. It may require interpretation on my part but that is part of the joy of reading poetry. I enjoyed the references to X-Men and Lord of the Rings.
