tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21510515210501272342024-02-23T07:47:10.060+11:00I read bad poetry into your machine ...I always believed that there was a book inside me. Some romantic idea that I could write things that others might enjoy reading. So I'm having a go.
But first I have to complete the task I set myself on January 1 - to write a poem every day for a year. Poetry, however, is different from writing a novel. Poetry allows complete freedom. Poetry can be totally random and unstructured, but can still be believable and, most importantly, entertaining.RiverinaRumpolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07823352373242994778noreply@blogger.comBlogger271125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2151051521050127234.post-28546003398176848772014-09-30T14:02:00.000+10:002018-04-07T15:29:11.004+10:00September 30: Why must I sit dispassionate?<style>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There was a punch and then a
theft, then a king hit from his left</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A cut to his eye, then the
small bloke stole his ride</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He drove off without a

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So he phoned a friend to hide
the ride inside</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">As he drove off in the
Suzuki, the whole thing was kind of spooky</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The motive for the assault
not understood</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His choice of friends was

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Was where he found a nasty

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">To the cops he told his

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">

all again</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Their mobiles held a clue,
one that in time it would undo</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The mixed up mess of lies on

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So many messages exchanged,
and soon their end it came</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">When the explanation that
they proffered it was tested</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But our victim he’d been
threatened, so the witness stand it beckoned</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Tell your story mate, the one
you told the cops</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But his memory was a failure,
but we know here in Australia</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">From the dock I heard them
bleating, though their cries were merely fleeting</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">As my witness he revealed his

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Their attempts to quell his
version, was but a temporary incursion</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">As true justice it furled it
greatest sail</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And in cross-examination, and
to the informant’s exultation</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Every detail of the beating
was adduced</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">His car they heard was took,
by two adolescent crooks</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And his evidence, in great
detail was produced</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There was little they could
say, as their freedom flew away</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">And they watched me as I
sealed their fate with glee</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">So my jury will soon find, as
facts they occupy their mind</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12.0pt;">That their guilt beyond all
doubt is plain to see</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">My name is Charlie Waterstreet, I’m a legend yes I am<br />I dye my hair and wax my chest, I’m a metrosexual man.<br />Don’t let the wrinkles fool you, and the mane it is all mine<br />My fingers long and sensual, my sense of self divine.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I’m an author of great hubris, I’m a writer of great note<br />I’ve a column in the Herald, where I never do misquote.<br />I like to air my point of view, loquacious and effusive<br />But if you cross me, do beware, I can become abusive.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">My persona it's a mystery, my psyche reinvented<br />Into a Rake named Cleaver, though my lack of luck lamented.<br />As I gathered up a harem, of angels it transpires<br />Who tend to all my wants and needs, though not to my desires.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Yet I’m decent and I’m honest, and if someone says I’m not<br />A writ I'll quickly issue, and I'll take them for the lot.<br />So when I said I’d pay you, that I’d meet your taxi fare<br />I wasn’t telling porkies, it's just that I don’t care.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Justin Gleeson felt the wrath, of Attorney-General George<br />When Brandis tried to reign in tight, opinions he could forge<br />“No-one shall seek your counsel, without speaking first to me<br />And you shall not opine them, until my moniker you see”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">George cried, "We discussed it", Justin said, "That's rot"<br />Had George misled Parliament? Was his reputation shot?<br />Firmly Brandis stood his ground, he wouldn't give an inch<br />No matter what they threw at him, the A-G didn't flinch</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">But Gleeson took his boss to task, a fire it was ignited<br />And ever it did still smoulder, until Justin he alighted<br />“I can’t work with a person, who can’t meet me with his eyes <br />I’m headed back to Phillip Street, and a definite pay rise”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Great leaders in Australian law, are not on George’s side<br />They say that he’s just balls’d it up, though for Brandis 'tis just pride<br />“Gleeson did the honourable thing”; yep, he really did say that <br />Which only goes to demonstrate, our Georgie boy’s a pratt</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So the direction’s now redundant, now Gleeson’s fled the coop<br />George he got his outcome, though how lowly he did stoop<br />Absurdity it threatens, when Malcolm he must ask<br />George for signed permission, to send his Solicitor a task</span></div>

years, serving in the Navy</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Sailing all around the world,

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">At twenty-five I tied the

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">At thirty I was still at sea,

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Then I started law school, at

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I left the Navy, went out
alone, working at the Bar</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For a while it was quite

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">There’s a gum tree out in our front yard
that’s bursting into flower</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">As the Cocky’s pick it twig from twig,
hour after hour</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">The ground below is littered, with
remnants of our tree</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Those large white birds with yellow crests,
they are a sight to see</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">They sit there safe in numbers,
camouflaged from sight</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">The yellow peaks meld with the flowers,
their feathers crispy white</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Squawking, talking, as they pick, what is
their conversation</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">As they denude my favourite tree, to my
increasing agitation</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">There’s no point calling out to them, they
know they’re safe up high</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">And even if they do depart, back to
the tree they’ll fly</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">Continuing their pruning, as the strip the
gum of flowers</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Arial;">And I sit out on my balcony, watching,
hour after hour</span></div>
