The Eulogy is Late

[soulstice.]

Dear William Shakespeare

Poetry is dead.
Acapella crawled into a hole
with its best friend bass line
and guitar riff. Stage prescence
smoked weed, slang titled
"Hold your left nut and strut
like a fucking cripple with a
broken crutch" Emotion
shot itself with the shotgun
Model: 62 Fake Gangsta.
Reality died and hung
on a noose strung with
the basic building blocks
of genocide.

Poetry is dead.
Symbolism sold its soul
to the devil for lies and
false claims. Imagery shows
signs of being succeeded by
the music video. Diction
lost it all and went over
the edge thanks to
abusive self-proclaimed
experts. Supercalafraga-
listicexpealadocious had
a part in the scheme as
well.

Poetry is dead!
The tombstone of Poetry
by Poe's tree, being
watched by Lewis
Carrol's mangled guardians.
Prose and sonnet sealed
in by the new red
and white prison bars of
freedom, on the charges
of "Perfection can't ride
a beat." A sleeping
beauty with seeping veins,
tamed by mutant doctor
executives, called Jive
Zomba, and Interscope.
Goodbye forever

Love,
.Your Soul

This stanza
shall dance in denotations.
Poetry is dead.

Real Talk

OMG.

Dude, I loved this piece man. This was an awesome piece from beginning to end, and I loved every single bit of it. It was reality, all captured in one little text poem, and the aspects were great.

It was abstract fiction, yet somewhere in that it seemed to be telling the truth about something, like a hidden message or something. The dire truth, dude.

Good job.

I saw this in Po'Ethics cypher, and I wanted you to make a poem out of it. Nice job.

Great Poem. I respected the Poetry is Dead part. It was nice. Your wording was great. And structre was nice as well. Your creativty was wonderfull. i enjoyed this peice very much. The imagenary was incredible. You should have this put in a book. The story was wonderful. havent read something as good as this for some time now. Keep writing son. You do it well. I'll nominate it for Legend. But I'll need a link to the Legend area.

This was a great read. I was confused cuz I knew I read this somewhere before, then I remembered it was the stanza I commented on in the Po' cypher. I loved it there, and with the added stanza's it only got better due to a steady consistancy within the content. Great job man.

[soulstice.]

thanks

excellent stuff man. I like the idea of writing the bard a letter from his own soul. Then the sheer idea of the poem itself was really interesting. I agree with the topic to some extent. Finally, the imagery of it, especially the third stanza, I thought was great. I was seeing colors as I read this haha. Keep writing man, I'm looking forward to reading more.

[Thrust]

first i have to say it immediately reminded me Hip Hop is Dead by Nas. It also relates to me what Lupe is saying in some of his music. I agree with much of what you're saying and you say it well and creativly, and all so true. Really enjoyed the read won't be the last time i check it out.

this was cool, well the whole thing was really. i could have quoted the whole first
verse as well, just an all round easy read. very mature style. not a poetry connoisseur
so cant give you any valid critique. but i know what i like, and i like this
