Mosquito revised
300 pages –
spurned, & coiled,
thunder eating
paraplegic verve,
reverse psychology convulsed.

Am going into creative convulsions with this. Just saw this, will savor slowly eh!
The dictionary book has convulsed itself.
PURGIST – Anchored and Bound
🙂
What did you think of the music? 🙂
It’s a blast !!!
Awesome! Okay, how about this song:
Nine Inch Nails – Ahead of Ourselves: live and cold and black and infinite
I want to thank you for introducing me to NIN.
This number is super awesome. It’s lyrics view my mind. So I can’t think of writing and I don’t want to , I just want to listen 🎵
You are so welcome, Yassy.
They’re my favorite band of all time.
Glad you loved the song I send you. It’s very industrial and a mix of punk metal. 🙂
I’ll send more other noise industrial music like this. 🙂
Imagine a book of 300 pages on the life of a mosquito — revised.
Imagining….Let me get back.
It’ll be fascinating to know what a mosquito’s life is and feels towards us humans.
I wrote about moths. There’s sth very inspiring about insects.
True fact about me: I have a big phobia of moths. I don’t know why but ever since I was little I’ve always been terrified of moths. I do agree that insects are very interesting and inspiring creatures to study and learn about them. 🙂
To study, and put into writing, yes. I don’t like seeing them either.
Very true. We get something in common there. 🙂
You can lose yourself in it.
I’m sure from the perspective of the mosquito. It would be interesting to read a book of sorts.
It would be something like this:
Nine Inch Nails: Help Me I Am In Hell (1992)
Wow! Thanks for the music!
Have you seen the video before? or heard this song by ‘NIN’? Awesome right?
To be honest, I can’t remember if I heard it before. But I’m sure I hadn’t seen the video, because it’s hard to forget. It’s impressive how they used a very simple concept and created something so strong.
Well, hope you enjoyed the video and the concept behind it.
What gave me a cringe was the man eating the raw meat with the flies in it.
Same here!
🙂
Ah, mosquitos clever bloody things – come back and bite you when you think you’ve got them beat! ( spent 3 years of my life researching them).
You did? Then you must have seen 300-page books about them, revised or not.
Yes and yes …
That’s very interesting. Even though mosquitos wouldn’t be a field to immerse myself in, now I am feeling intrigued.
My ‘About’ page will give you an insight to another me … and get us out of Charlie’s space good man that he is.
I remember you are a scientist, but I didn’t remember the details. So, I went back to your About page. I really like it! Especially where you say “science is of the mind, the heart and of the soul.” Yes, it is!
I’ll get in touch if that okay with you?
Have you got fb?
Are you talking to me or Eric?
I don’t have a Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. No social media. Other than WordPress. I love WordPress so much because you and all my readers are the best writers of all time and I respect all of you so much. 🙂
That’s the thing with WordPress, Charlie you find writing/writers which/who relate – respect to you for what you do and giving space. As for me I’m on Twitter too, focused on writers, their prose and poetry, it’s spread my words so to speak, poets show their words on Instagram too, going to give it a try soon. Facebook has never been a place for me.
I replied to Basilike. On my comment below. You’ll read why I don’t have social media.
I tried Twitter long time ago. It wasn’t for me and it got boring on there.
You’re right about Facebook. It’s not a place for anyone. It’s too crazy on there.
Good morning, Charlie!
I was talking to Eric, sorry for the misunderstanding.
You are a wise man for not having any of these. They are energy suckers. I only have WP and FB, and I visit the latter as least often as possible.
Good morning, Basilike.
No problem.
My reasons for leaving Facebook 9 years ago was because of old friends, and certain people being full of themselves and it was just too much.
Plus, I’ve been meaning to get out of social media since the ‘Myspace’ days. So, when I deleted my whole Facebook account permanently. I felt great…a big relief. Another plus, social media is way too distracting and I wasn’t really getting writing done. Ever since I left…I haven’t stopped writing and continue to focus and read my collection of books and do more writing and get things done.
I do hear Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter have gone through a big of changes. I’m glad I ain’t on there. I also hear a lot of worse things happening on there.
It’s better being free than being distracted.
WordPress to me is by far the best thing that’s ever happen and hope WordPress continues to be themselves and not go through changes. I love it here and I love all my friends and I am so happy. 🙂
I understand what you mean. I only use fb to connect with some friends from time to time, see some submission period openings and that’s it. I never engage in conversations with people I don’t know, and don’t accept friend requests from strangers.
The more you stay away from social media, the more you write.
That’s a good balance.
Yes, never engage in Facebook conversations. It’s terrible.
Writing is therapeutic. 🙂
Paraplegic verve to hit a tiny, shiny spot of weatherman’s mosquito bite, to revise a 300 second broadcast.
The broadcast has been interrupted by its 300 and so cryptic analysis.
Max Headroom WTTW Pirating Incident – 11/22/87 (Subtitled)
Ahhh!
Crazy right. True story. Your comment on the broadcast reminded me of that video. It fits somehow with my theme poem. 🙂
……………………Charlie,
Allen Ginsberg had “HOWL”
You have “MOSQUITO”
I’ll confess that 300 pages was a bit much
A rather lengthy amusement pier extending from a large dictionary
I like to think of us as platonic conversationalists
but you stretch out Thanksgiving to Christmas
an unlimited number of bullets at the shooting gallery
a child gone wild at the arcade
“MOSQUITO” is the totality of life
I must say that I found the honeymoon escapes amusing
(popped corks and a wet spot in the shape of Texas)
it is not easy to articulate the essential and authentic
and somehow, Baby Bird you have
Congratulations !!!
…………………………..Michael,
A mosquito says;
shape numbers
wet the dictionary science.
The popped wild arcade –
extending its platonic Allen Ginsberg,
conversationalists have essential Christmas bird.
Congratulations to the authentic escape
and the think life gallery.
That cork spot from 300
is totality stretch lengthy.
You must confess thanksgiving
as unlimited howl –
rather, somehow articulate honeymoon engine.
This is like an insect Rorschach test and it’s brilliant!
Thank you, April. I was going for the deep psychological test in a poetic forum.
Glad you enjoyed the trip.
“My left hand is a Rorschach blotch all its own, a six-fingered, skin-blood-and-bone ink splatter. People see it and fly their worst fears and secret fetishes at full mast when they think they’re being discreet. They see it as strange, fascinating, ugly, beautiful, disgusting or erotic depending on what’s behind their eyes.”
― Craig Clevenger, The Contortionist’s Handbook
Perhaps an anthology written by a mosquito. It would proabably be the buzz around town.
It certainly would be. I’d imagined people gathering around and reading the mosquitoes manifesto
of what he thinks of humans from its point of view. 🙂
A mosquito that put its “blood”, sweat and tears into a book. If revising didn’t suck the energy out of him, did it bug him in any way?🤔
It probably did bug him…then again he is consider the blood sucker for a reason.
I’m sure his book will be a spectacle of such. 🙂
Lol, people will be buzzing over it.😁
hahahahaha!!! Buzzing it shall be. 🙂
😁
Reverse psychology turned upside down on itself by a coil repelling and convulsing with its mosquito ridden efforts. I’m never sure about reverse psychology, it seems somehow dishonest in its popular usage.
Excellent description.
Reverse psychology at this point can be reversed sideways not knowing the parallels or dimensions one can travel towards.
The mosquito convulses but not the riddle. 🙂
That is one brainy mosquito.
I wonder who it bit for all that smart blood?
Maybe it’s a Jimi mosquito.
Jimi kissed the sky. The mosquito must have bitten the sky.
A very poetic response to my poem. I love this. 🙂
P.S P.S Next Monday will be my last post of the Avant-magoria series #13. After that – I’ll be posting new and exciting experimental/cut-up poetry that I have been developing for some time now.
Looking forward! D
Hey Resa,
Stop by my page and read what I posted. It’s our collaboration from before. You’ll remember it and you’ll be so happy. 🙂
