House of the Goblin [Part Two of Three/with notes]
House of the Goblin [Part Two of Three] Here is where, where the air is still And the mountains shadows disappear! Here is where, unnumbered spirits dwell Where harp and memory expire? Where the rainbow-leaps, from its Storeroom-keep, and cries; And the sands along the oceans coast Echo then die?as in sleep?; And where enchantment turns into ghouls!... Who be these spirits, which charm and gleam? A fabric from the "Inferno," I think Or a symbolic language in a forgotten dream Yes! We are all exiled from beauty? Yes, we are exiled from beauty unseen? Where fragile-wings and tenderness Meet; meet with the seraphim. Yet we must lock the keep? So no man may walk among our sleep Yes, yes, oh yes, we all live- We all live, do we not, you and I, In the House of the Goblin!... Muffled in a black lily; smiling, smiling To find a way out-out, out; Sorceress posing as Almighty God? 'Thou art, as a violent worm!' (I am more noun than verb, yet the verbs are winning, with the worms.) Notes: Part II, #753 7/8/05 "In doing this poem, images seem to flash through my mind, as if I found myself in a lockup on planet earth." Poetry In General by dlsiluk, "To achieve ones meaning in poetry, you may have to drop the musical ascent; or so I've often found myself doing; not sure if there is a right or wrong way in this. But what I do know is that, if I do not drop it, I can not become engulfed with the wholeness of the poem I want to produce. Yes, we have to fight against spirit and experience; and in order to win you must chew on whatever words fit." Poet/Author Dennis Siluk's new book on poetry: "Spell of the Andes," can be seen at http://www.abe.com or http://www.alibris.com

Death & the Supernatural: Poetry/Five Poems Supernatural PoetryHere are five poems,-what I call-death and supernatural poems.

You know the rules about writing poetry, right? Are there rules? Well, if you frequent the poetry forums across the Internet as much as I do, you'd find that there are a lot of amateur poets who adamantly declare that there are no rules for writing poetry and if someone even suggests reading poetry or books on poetry, many of the amateur poets will throw up a defensive front. Robert Burns Love Poem: A Red, Red Rose Robert Burns, a poor man, an educated man, and a ladies' man, is representative of Scotland, much like whisky, haggis, bagpipes, and kilts. He lived a life shortened by rheumatic heart disease, 1759-1796, but his life journey through poverty, informal education, disappointed love, nationalism, and literary and financial success can be identified by all Scots and common men the world over.
