In a world free of coincidences, try playing around with haiku format. 17 syllables(!) 5-7-5 non rhyming. I believe you have it in you to give it a try and would love to hear one. There is no doing it wrong, just breath and believe. -example-

A meme no picture

Big Idea packaged tightly

New way for pilling

-example2-

Podesta art sick

A demon possesses

Protect innocent

John Milton, (1608-1674) "Paradise Lost", from Book 2, Part 2

For Cori Samuel's exquisite reading:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvskKAUo6XY 29 min 32 sec

-

Satan was now at hand, and from his seat

The Monster moving onward came as fast

With horrid strides, Hell trembled as he strode.

Th' undaunted Fiend what this might be admir'd,

Admir'd, not fear'd; God and his Son except,

Created thing naught valu'd he nor shun'd

And with disdainful look thus first began.

-

Whence and what art thou, execrable shape,

That dar'st, though grim and terrible, advance

Thy miscreated Front athwart my way

To yonder Gates? through them I mean to pass,

That be assured, without leave askt of thee:

Retire, or taste thy folly, and learn by proof,

Hell-born, not to contend with Spirits of Heav'n.

-

To whom the Goblin full of wrauth reply'd,

Art thou that Traitor Angel, art thou hee,

Who first broke peace in Heav'n and Faith, till then

Unbrok'n, and in proud rebellious Arms

Drew after him the third part of Heav'ns Sons

Conjur'd against the highest, for which both Thou

And they outcast from God, are here condemn'd

To waste Eternal dayes in woe and pain?

Great stuff mate. A little look at the Rhyme and Metre, and you could pass as an Aussie Bush Poet around any campfire. With a glass of fine red of course.

I'm looking, but don't know what to look for. I know fuck all about poetry, I just think we need more of it.

You are doing a great job mate. Try writing it the way you would want to hear it. The way you would like to hear it delivered by someone else from a stage, with a microphone. I write mine in short 4 line stanza's, and rhyme the last word/s of the 2nd and 4th lines. eg

The missile hit him in the chest,

And it made complete the farce.

Because it drove him back a yard or two,

And sat him squarely on his arse.

Laying bruised and badly beaten,

His breath a ragged hiss.

The poor bugger was covered head to toe,

In the paper and the piss.

Good luck friend, keep going, the sillier the better and more smiles on the faces of your listeners.

Nice. 17 syllables. Thank you so much for this. Every great movement in history has been immortalized in poetry, this one should be too.

Mind if I use this elsewhere? I'm trying to compile a collection of poems from the great awakening for posterity's sake.

Q anons are kind.

Discredit/devide will fail.

Love will conquer all.
