- The Troubadours Poem by Georgios Venetopoulos

The Troubadours
The troubadours of giddiness without much sense decided
that should proceed to uncreate established norms and structures;
because what sapience has built, disputed and derided,
disqualified was doomed to be devoured by the vultures.

Verse:
The metrical results on verse, attentively incentive,
declaimers that the muses blessed and the professors' knowledge,
the ordered lines (and courteous!) , precisely recursive
express the structured amalgam and classic forms of vintage.

Signaling lights:
Inside the fogginess of night, and Northern landscape clouding
the blinking street lights signaling, as night moved downward darksome,
were beacons on a vastitude with silences expanding,
upon the tracks of weekend fore his impulse turned to freedom.

The black bird:
The skies transformed to ruefulness, the view to rain and Winter,
indelible black bird had fled - (an arrow and a crossbow)
that filled the emptiness between his stare and stardom cloister
betrothal bond became his verse and nightly flashing bellow.

Archaic heraldry:
Transmittance of instilling thought, and eagle's flying lissome
extends above the magnitude, this lonesome dark imposes
beyond the gloomful orchard field and Acheron's quantum
where his Archaic heraldry against the sunshine bronzes.
