Transparency: a poem 

blue-green
waves break
over

the sun
sets behind

the flash
shines through

me.

transparent
wave
rolls my
heart

I am drowning

in the floating
sea

the wind
beats
the wave

shines the sun.
my
heart

you see
it clearly

you have left your mark

those who can
will
see

I am
the
transparency

1. Lovely, Peggy. Very evocative.

The sea imagery is in tune with the emotional flotsam suggested. I like it.

2. My dear vixengrl... 

I love it when my metaphors are consistent...

A recent photo of a cresting wave that I took inspired me...the sun shone through it...

Thank you so much!

5. Evocative.

Each poem you create is a special moment of time captured for eternity.

6. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six... 

Mmm...I like what you've said here...

And I thank you...

It means a lot to have you read, and comment.

Okay, now we got to give the last word to the late Tangerine LaBamba:

But, has anyone here ever read California Peggy's poetry?

Just on the basis of that, she deserves the top prize.  I'm pretty sure it was directly responsible for a number of the fires and landslides that took place in California, probably gave Charlie Manson one of his migraines, and even made Arnold Schwarzenegger think that maybe he was living in the wrong state.

Don't get me wrong - her poetry isn't bad.  It's awful.  It's the kind of thing that would blind God if He had to read it.  It's a collection of words that should be machine-gunned down, one by one, preferably out in the desert, with no witnesses, and a nice young girl who could be counted on to claim that she'd been shooting jackrabbits.  It's so bad, mirrors crack if anyone looking into a mirror while thinking of one of CP's poems runs the risk of permanent scarring, even blindness, while thinking of it as he peers into the mirror.

I don't want to say that it's the worst thing I've ever read, because I also once had to read a chapter of a book written by my dermatologist's brother-in-law (this happens when you have your first book published, and everyone suddenly has a manuscript they absolutely NEED you to read - it's a sure-fire best seller) in which every woman - and there was a new woman on every page - had the most amazing orgasm as soon as the man entered her.  Every time.  One stroke.

CP's poetry isn't that bad because I don't have to go to her and tell her that there are parts of it that need some work.

Her poetry needs immolation.  She needs to have all writing impletments and keyboards, paper, blank walls, toilet paper, paper towels, margins in newspapers, and even the blank part of framed works of art removed from her home until this idea that she's writing "poetry" passes.  Maybe medication will help.

My dear californiapeggy, stop calling everybody "my dear." It's annoying as hell.

Oh, and your "poetry" sucks.

Nothing but a bunch of words thrown a piece of paper and then called a poem where they stuck.

Stupid beyond imagination and the only thing transparent is her (?) head.

It perhaps does allow insight into their state of derangement but other then that is as worthless and ugly as tits on a boar hog.

Boars tits, chicken lips, scrambled eggs and grits, a mighty fine breakfast, in good old Missipp.

I've seen better random poems created with those little fridge magnet word thingies you buy at Starbucks.

Oh, and DUmmie?  Evocative?  I would have used the word "evacuative" (yes, I know it doesn't exist.)  Reading that stuff makes me want to evacuate my bowels, stomach, etc...violently.

Just think, in Pelosi's world C-Peg should quit her day job and focus on her "poetry" with out worrying about losing her health insurance.

....and get grants from the NEA to do it......

Liberals will call anything art....my rules are, if I can do it, it ain't art.

[lars1701c]

How she responds to each post really makes me sick(for some reason) but OTOH if you have a mole and want to pad your post count, there is no better way to to comment on the dreck she calls "art". (and after youdo you have to pick up the shattered pieces of your dignity)

It is no coincidence that never will a DUmmy state what part of useful and productive society they wish to be a part of to deserve the socialist goodies they demand.
They always consider themselves to be an intellectual elite that just has to pontificate to the lower classes to justify their getting all the spoils.

[jukin]

Shit like that is why nobody likes poetry anymore.

A lovely companion piece to "blink, blink, blink, blink" and the ode to a kidney stone.  As always, take note of the copyright. You may recite this poem for the enjoyment of friends and family, as many of us do, but you may not charge admission. The CalPig would be sure to prosecute.

[shadeaux]

But but but, she's published !

Boars tits, chicken lips, scrambled eggs and grits, a mighty fine breakfast, in good old Missipp.

That is actually better than anything Peggy has ever written.

I am drowning

Well then, can you kindly finish the job?

That is a very good point, especially about picking up the pieces of your dignity.  I think you can maintain your self-respect, though, if you're laughing really loud while you hit "post."  For example, this post:

looks like a mole to me.  If I had a mole, it might look something like that.  The "eternity" is an especially nice touch.  Just over the top enough to hint at sarcasm, but not enough that it would smack the pig in the face.
