Rating: 2.8


Some people love the experimental in poetry
Poetry, in the experimental, love some people
Love poetry, experimental people. Some
Lovesome

Challenging all preconceptions
Preconceptions all challenging…
Preconceptions challenging all
All-challenging

Playing with outmoded language
Language playing outmoded
With playing language
Language-playing

But with an implicit social critique
Critique but social
An implicit but
Critique-implicit

In the spirit of post modern irony
Irony modern in spirit
Spirit in modern
Post-irony

Look Ma I can stand on my head
Stand Ma on head
Stand on my Ma I can
Can-head

All-challenging language-playing
Post-irony
Critique-implicit
Lovesome?

Glad you went 'post irony' Michael. That took you right to the front of the field. Funny, inventive, timely, and right out there withit cool.

My mis-spelling of 'neither' was purely in the spirit of irony! ! ! ! :) t x

M, I believe this piece brings us into post-post-post-post modernism? (And mine hasn't arrived yet) . (Niether post nor modernity) . Actually, you remind me of Richard Rorty here. 'Contingency, Irony and Solidarity' - my favourite book - but distinctly lacking the first and last. Please can you remove that tongue from your cheek and write some more? (Or leaving it there is good also) .. t xxx
