Thy Lilium Poem by Troy Clark

Thy Lilium

Rating: 4.1


The mouth of the unjust speak through me
And his language shall become clear
Pray for those who suffer temptation

Since he, with striving, shall wear a crown of thorns
Speak through the frozen cuticle
Live, oh live, the skin deep bonds

How lovely, this moon, broken and mangled
How kind, this rose, bleed deep your tears
How serene, this long empty, breathe-breathe

Oh sweet pure Lilium-Have mercy on this soul
Oh Lilium, thy fires divine, greet me
Oh Lilium, sweet, sweet Lilium-Pollinate me home

Jesus Christ... looks like someone needs to get laid. Sheesh. Look... you're a new writer and while your work isn't as impressive as what some people require, don't let it bother you. You have potential. Don't let pissy solipsists like Fred discourage you. Keep writing.

I don't do this very often, but since you asked,1. I'm not much into religious stuff, unless it has some deeper intent.2. You don't 'right', you WRITE. You better pay better attention to your English teacher. Some of your juxtaposed terms; don't relate to each other. In James Joyce's 'Ulysses: ' his stream of consiousness makes more sense than your stuff. And Alan Ginsberg's 'Howl' is exciting, at least in part because the words complement ech other. And both of them went school and it shows. Learn something about the world, ; and that includes school. You can't write good poetry without knowing something, otherwise it's just blabber, garbage. In other words, get experience, and school is part of that experience..

Troy, since you asked me to read this, I will say, number one, I do not like especially to be asked to read ones work.... But I did read it, and number two, just a personal thing I do not especially like Relgion poetry, good or bad, or unless it has a definate reason as for its intent, example dealing with death, ect..... But you have alot of potential, just watch your grammer, very carefully, I use the dicionary all the time and still make mistakes..... You will do fine with a little more reaching from within the soul.........Bonnie
