1.)
Monosyllabic
attaches itself
onto a nit oddly shapely nightcap sandblast.
2.)
Stratification
crisscrosses constrictive
old ashes, melting them in monotone sways.
3.)
If you buy
into the belief of hell
Say, yes!
4.)
All corporate slaughter markets
cold in their dead dark eyes.
5.)
Avant-Garde poets
smash conventional writing,
Surrealism awakens Salvador Dali.
6.)
Microscope colonies build dishrag creatures
out of spongy parameter drones.

Swine gives me the jitters
hope these palaver cows sleep.
8.)
Multilateral
washes the slangy
culture of today’s white-wash America.

The real Genius
of this planet
lies between knowledge serenity.
10.)
Pharmaceutical
drugs make things
easier on how numb we are.

awaken dali! awaken. i wonder if he will smell bad.
and swine has def given me the jitters
but then i usually fry it up. terrible, i know.
does knowledge allow us serenity? sometimes it makes it harder,
better not to know?
So much to ponder here.. And why not a corporate hell? The last one make comfortably numb,
Well, I like 1, 5, 8, 9 the best…
These are great. Only ten words and yet you’ve pulled in poetic devices like alliteration. My favorites are 9 and 10. As for hell, I think we are quite capable of creating it here in the present. Just look at what is going on in our poor world. In the afterlife…I guess we won’t know till we get there.
Can surrealism awaken Dalí or is Dalí (through his many shapes and colours) the one who awakens surrealism?
serenity… sweet words… some deep thoughtful places to explore
Well, I guess I would have to say yes to the idea of Hell, but then again we won’t find out until much later, will we? And yes about pharmaceutical drugs….they make things easier, but not necessarily better!
Nice gritty micro poems ~ My favorite is the last one charlie ~
You are You, & not another thing; incredible surrealistic avant garde Flarfian ten Word stanzas that do not veer away from the poet you are, & are becoming; really cool 10 for 10. I like the lines
/stratification/crisscrosses constrictive/old ashes, melting them in monotone sways/.
Yes.
I like how your own voice can be heard whatever form you use! I found 4) particularly powerful.
Answer for 3
Yeeeeeeeeeeees!:)
L’enfer c’est les autres
Hell is other people
Jean Paul Sartre
oh heck…that one with the corporate slaughter markets really got me
That is real good. Sharp edged and hard hitting. I particularly liked the third and the fifth one. 🙂
Good to read your written word again, Charlie.
-HA
A wide variety here!
Interesting captures. Rather like number 5 and number 9 the best.
If there’s a soul
and good and evil
then what ?
Nice Charlie
Really good tenWords IMHO. Several stood out to me, but dang the last nailed it.
