140 Characters … to a Rhyme

Leave a reply

#Twitterfiction Harder to write than prose yet poetic expression is more elegantly

emotive by far, than one may ever aspire to, prosaically.

As the form of written expression most like, in #twitterfiction, a lyrical hymn,

between chapter and verse … verse is most favored … by Him.

To wit, the superlative verse of the great poets, amongst them, in #twitterfiction,

Ovid, Emily, Robert, Maya and, the immortal … William.

Willy’s rep towers. He is among the best of the west. #Twitterfiction-ally, the best

in the east … Khalil and Rumi; three … of the best.

Inspired by Him, Willy, Rumi, Ovid, and Emily, Art knows; one could do worse, in

#twitterfiction, than aspire to a poet’s, sublime, diction.

Twitter’s one hundred and forty character formula is, in #twitterfiction,

surprisingly, educational; useful, in marketing and … education.

#Twitterfiction: If, prior to an 83rd character, prospective tweeters bring to end

then a first line, then … with a rhyme … one may … end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today’s Prophesy: A CIA-Wrought … CALAMITY

Leave a reply

It’s time for Global Truth and Reconciliation. Whether you think we can, or might
think we can’t … you’re absolutely … right!

And so … AN ATLAS … POETIC; prose, poetry, tragedy, comedy … and … in
a surreal redaction … prophesy; nonfiction … posing as … fiction.

Tragi-comedic poetry because for a message globally dramatic, only poetry,
emotes more eloquently, than one may ever aspire to … prosaically.

Accordingly, via poetry melding Ovid’s on inexorable change and Emily’s letter
to the world … chachomanopapa … would a planet … better.

Therein, in poems to the global citizenry on change, the nonfictional emissaries
of the nations ask, “Of what good to our communities are … nationalities?”

AN ATLAS … POETIC; a poetic and prosaic tragi-comedy … and … yes,
prophesy too … for prophesy often is … but educated guess.

Yes, prophesy is oft, but educated guess. The proof is in the pudding. Today’s
nonfictional prophesy: A firestorm over torture techniques of … the CIA.

Six Inter-Galactics … on a Mission

Leave a reply

Six critters; one, of a pathetic, two-legged variety, opine on the human condition
and predicament … in this … our surreal … nonfiction.

Six souls armed with but a handle are on … a ‘mission impossible’ … to enable
the only seemingly unable; a mission for (wo)man, not actually … impossible.

Six called (we imagine) to write by the nonfictional Force of Muslims, Christians
and Jews; called upon to … (dare I say it) … paraphrase Him.

Six lovers of Ovid’s insights into change and Emily’s letter to the world take a cue
from them. Their epigrams are to say … we all … love you.

Six Bohemians beg: Abnegate nationalities! Exalt humanity! A call to action:
Make real the ‘impossibility’ … of Global Truth … and Reconciliation!

Six wrote the manuscript from which these verses are drawn. Most of the nations
and the territories … are addressed … therein.

The Wine and Cheese Miracles; prose, poetry, tragedy and comedy, and in
addition … a contradiction … nonfiction, posing as … fiction.

On Using Twitter’s One Hundred Forty Characters to Pen … Rhyming Poetry

Leave a reply

Harder to write and to read than prose, but poetry expresses far more elegantly,
passionately and emotively than one may ever aspire to … prosaically.

A form of written expression … so seemingly … like lyrical hymn,
has been … historically … seemingly been … favored by Him.

To wit, the superlative verse of the great poets, amongst them,
Ovid, Emily, Robert … and the immortal … William.

Shakespeare’s reputation, amongst thoughtful (wo)men, is amongst the best
of the west. Along with the east’s Khalil Gibran, they are the best, of the best.

And so it has been that inspired by Him, Willy, Khalil, Ovid, Robert and Emily,
when one needs a passionate message … do it … poetically.

To that end, Twitter’s one hundred and forty character formula may usefully
construct verses … whether rhyming, or not … poetically.

#Twitterfiction: If, prior to an 83rd character, prospective tweeters bring to end
then a first line, then with a rhyme … you may … end.

William, Khalil, Ovid, Robert and Emily, et. al., when expressively
needing to deliver a passionate message … dramatically,
authors know; there’s no better way … than poetically.

“TO BE … OR NOT TO BE ….”

Leave a reply

Acculturation, the modification of the original culture of individuals
or groups through prolonged contact with different cultures
has, up until recently, been a rare phenomenon. The internet’s potential
to acculturate … surely … is treasure.

Acculturation’s a natural process, not readily appreciated in the absence
of an expansive perspective, as, for example,
from the Creator’s point of view. In His view, irrelevant is difference,
but indifference … is … abominable.

Time for Global Truth and Reconciliation; surreally, whether you think we
can, or whether you think we can’t, you’re right, absolutely!
And so, The Wine and Cheese Miracles; prose, poetry, tragedy and comedy;
nonfiction … posing as fiction … ironically.

In poems melding Ovid’s and Emily’s about change and a letter, visionaries
ask of you: Of what good are borders and nationalities?
From a nonfictional dream, a poetic and prosaic tragi-comedy,
and prophesy too … for prediction … is prophesy.

Arthur prayed to his deity, He of the Jews, Christians and Muslims;
praying he’ll find … the missing Bohemians.
Allah/Jehovah/God/Yahweh as if answered in dreams: “Tweet to the denizens,
a blog and a book …. Write, to your global … co-citizens”.

Let’s take shortcuts in this surreal reality to peace and prosperity. Alchemically
speaking, the internet is the Philosopher’s Stone. We are … but one … only.
Let’s take shortcuts to peace and prosperity. Abnegate nationality. Accent humanity,
and upon what others have built … build atop it … opportunity.

And so, inspired by Ovid and Emily, Arthur wrote a fiction, non-fictionally.
This tribal nation-state thing is untenable … undeniably.
“To be … or not to be ….” So wrote the great Willy. It’s past time we
take a page from that play and ponder its implications … sagely.

ON HUMANITY … NATIONALITY … AND SPIRITUALITY

Poetry, albeit belatedly, resonates within Arthur’s soul. His memories, and the poetically
rendered memories of others, profoundly reverberate within him, loudly,
albeit, inaudibly. Wordsmiths, (wo)men of peace, are his heroes and heroines; Ovid, Willy,
Emily, Khalil and Maya, et. al., eloquently teach us, albeit … sublimely.

Oh, what a specious species are we! We relegate our very real humanity to a status effectively
below that of abstractly surreal identities of nationality and spirituality.
Wordsmiths, (wo)men of peace, ought be our heroes and heroines; Ovid, Willy, Emily,
Khalil and Maya, via their poetry … might teach us … albeit, sublimely.
