Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light) Poems

their styles once exceptional original?
unique fresh amazing rare revelations?
became pen copied hackneyed verses?
...

it does not define any spirit of internet age?
i deliberately avoided past esteemed styles?
easy to be a copyist harder to eureka create?
...

extraordinary was commonplace fast rendered
excellent sophisticated refined became antiquated
exotic superior reduced to copy rut stereotyped
...

i could have written
a Shakespearian sonnet
or Italian Petrarchan?
...

slick shinny wet cobble stones
litter aftermath of grey day rains

hunched over figures walk narrow roads
space restrictive building abutted sidewalks
...

anyone
who has gone
floundering,

with
...

objects seen desired objects
eye candy colourful pleasing objects
are thumb hitchhiking seeking stray homes...

oh you soliciting hooker objects
...

what soul sacrifice can be reborn in phoenix flames?
what soul endure fall not in raging wave ocean agonies?
what soul can weather master enlightenment paths?
...

To truly know is to endure raw experiences
to sensitize each momentous moments agonies
to time absorb learn through testing years
...

Art in the mind

in the eyes
in hands ears
