Prelude To The Storm Or The Battle On The River Poem by Armadillo Poet

Prelude To The Storm Or The Battle On The River



…and I’ve come to
my collection
Stepping through a
silvery-glassed,
Complexioned-river

The liquid silver-pearl slivers,
watery-ripples through
the pass under the wall,
To rings around the
Paws, of a Lioness

; under the portal
There we met

Opening, pawing
Roaring
Paw ‘n’ roarin’.
bites me in _____,

And so the rush it was red and the teeth they were white then red and the glass it was redder than pearl with the feathers of a mammal strewn about it:

And the wildness,
she called me
But she fought
and bit me
through
to
a Vampyrrhic wound

And it…
and it…must

to…be filled

I look back at the mirror,
I see what comes in front of me:
The birds they
Come to
feed on me:
to collect and to
drown me…

Me, wet and
Showin’ feline
figures,

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Frank James Ryan Jr...fjr 23 December 2007

Never saw a literary work end on a comma...I like it, and the piece in general.One must chew thorouhly on your unorthodox use of puctuation, in order to digest the text itself, and be able to read or recite it with mellifluous results.John Donne was a master at delivering emotion, breath & conotation, through well placed puctuation.You do this here through your employment of pausemarking, and elision.The final comma, i will presume is in lieu of a (...) or a thought that has yet no closure.Good job.
