A Pirate Makes a PoemA Pirate Makes a Poem:

Apparently all it takes
Ta get ye works ta slake
Is a simple scheme o' rhyme
Which takes a minute o' time

Perhaps I'll do the same
It's fair ta play this game
No meanin' in tha words
They just flop around like birds

"Oh this stuff it speaks to me!"
Really is that true?
I'm afraid ye might be daft me thinks
Ye certainly be loose a screw

For if works do not have meanin'
Then they're simply done and dull
I think I'd rather spend me time
Playin' dice in a golden skull

I suppose that what tha people want
Is a simple kind o' style
One that looks as good as ale
But tastes like bricks and bile

"Now then lad

RuinsFallen, desecrated -
The windows to your soul are stained;
You would kill to be a mosaic, but
You are no Roman empire.

The windows to your soul are stained -
You were never high beloved, no
You are no Roman empire;
You have crumbled under the weight of the world.

You were never high beloved,no -
Fallen, desecrated -
You have crumbled under the weight of the world...
You would kill to be a mosaic.

The Gap - Pages 20 + 21by ~Peris-Productions

Literature / Poetry / Transgressive / Visual & Found Poetry

©2012-2013 ~Peris-Productions

Pages 20 & 21

A Race.

My disciple was a
knotless thread

(Egg)

A simple tale
of life's work,

I'm going to try my luck.

~Peris-Productions's The Gap - Pages 20 + 21 is a great example of the creativity of both visual and found poetry, building both the poem and the image from already present words. ( Suggested by ^NicSwaner and Featured by $wreckling )

Nice page - it reminds me of Tom Phillips' 'Humument' - he did this with an old book and 'treated' the different pages. Nice take on it

Those x's are seriously outnumbered.

Congrats on the DD again, just had to stop by for another look.

They may be outnumbered, but I say that X on page 21 will reach the egg first.
