Enigma spoke
intelligently backward;
what normally
can’t be decoded –
you peel off
the second curse.

Gorgeous.
Thank you, Bojana.
A riddle faced with an enigma. Solving the answer under layers of more puzzles. 🙂
P.S Next Monday, the series will come to an end with ‘Avant-magoria #13.’
I’ll be going back to my regular schedule in posting my more long experimental poems. 🙂
The enigma who can turn and decode words in any direction. Both a blessing and a curse…
Nice one Charlie!
Sometimes the codes re-arrange themselves. An artificial program knows when being decoded by scholars it retracts in many forms. The best results is to be 10 steps ahead of the artificial program itself. 🙂
Artificial programs scare daylight out of me!
I agree. But just imagine a few more years how Google herself will be self aware and with her programs distorting us humans.
I don’t think I can even begin to imagine… I honestly feel terrified by so many of the current trajectories of human-kind. Where will it all end up.
Love it how these poems of yours provoke so much thought and dialogue. It’s so unique and indicative of such talent on your behalf.
Agree. Many advances are awakening the fear in us against advanced technologies to come.
They say; ‘God created us from his image, Humans create robots from their image.’
Thank you my friend. I should share the same respect for you. As your writing provokes wonderful and challenging of dialogue. 🙂
P.S Next Monday will be my last post of the series. Avant-magoria #13. After that – I’ll be posting other new and exciting poetry for all readers. Very experimental and lots of weirdness. 🙂
The paradox of palindromes….
Correct. One can get lost in the paradox dimension.
Only to realize that its all based on an artificial program design to keep us humans prison by a grand illusion.
curse. second off
the peel –
you decoded be normally
can’t backward;
what spoke
intelligently Enigma
This singing in my head …
Thank you, Eric.
I’m glad you read this as music to the ears. 🙂
Like a Delphi omen!
Exactly it. Omens and any evil spirit have a way with speaking backwards and its tough to even grasp what they are saying. But, we know its not good so they play with our fear.
Better not listen to them at all!
Nope. They’ll drive us crazy. 🙂
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. 🙂 Happy for all readers to read them.
Count me in!
🙂
This scintillates with power and intelligence, the title thrills the eye and decoding the mood of these lines excites me no end .
Thank you, Yassy.
The fascinating thing about decoding this poem and the title itself is by listening to this:
Nine Inch Nails – Tetsuo: The Bullet Man Theme
Welcome, Charlie!
Ooooooh!!! Another song yipppeee ,
Sorry, got carried away.
It’s quite alright. 🙂
Check this one out:
Nine Inch Nails – March of Pigs – 8/13/1994 – Woodstock 94 (Official)
Yes, I think I heard that already .
Okay listen to this one:
Helm – I Knew You Would Respond
It’s sort of soothing.
That’s a rare song by Trent. Glad you liked it. 🙂
😊
………………….Charlie,
what normally
can’t be decoded-
YOU PEEL OFF
speaking of “peeled off”
I remember your 9th birthday party
maybe not a “party” in today’s world
but there was a cake with candles
I still reflect on how brave you were
running around the front yard in your birthday suit
future plateaus of creativity and recognition
born in a circus, one lived the sideshow
having relatives that constantly battled concepts of sin
Charlie, the savage in a circle of missionaries
Charlie with luminous spheres
even at that age you found yourself alone
classmates busy entertaining
primitive and paranoid instincts
you learned to affirm your openness
with an artistic approach to prose
the complexities of human aspirations
“to hell with library books”
Charlie, what normally can’t be decoded—YOU DONE TOOK OFF
…………………………………………….Michael,
The suit plateaus peeled;
yard missionary concepts.
Not around a normally circus.
Yourself on today –
were world complexities.
Instincts affirm, books, decoded one primitive.
Was creativity
relative that it remembered?
You’re what future reflects
a livid hell withstand,
of sin entertaining speak.
The party born approach; opens
towards circle prose
and luminous sideshow maybe.
Birthday recognition, cake candles cry –
the savage paranoid heaven catatonic.
The Universal Rubik Pandoric stands at the Rubicon Crossing
wrapped in the enigma mist
of engorged totem burning
Wrapped Pandora totem mist –
the crossing
of enigma stands universal;
the Rubik engorged at the rubicon burning.
The Caesar of despair beware!
For the May Queen is dancing
with peacocks and the spirits
of all your murdered Gauls.
This is all.
Caesar for despair.
Spirits beware!
Peacocks gauls your laser synapse –
Murdered by dancing to Beethoven.
Charlie, this is fabulous. I really like the wit and creativity here.
Thank you so much my friend. 🙂
A new challenge with this poem was needed for the readers to see its creativity and its clue.
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.
Stay tune. 🙂
Engima air, angel hair and new age vows set in hot summer days, Rocky July, when life and lies were evermore wild.
Love your response to my poem and very poetic my friend.
Beyond the Aquarius of water is the Enigma of pure music and dance.
I thought of Frankenstein when I read this: A monster was created and thought to be dumb and easily controlled. Now the monster is becoming too smart and cannot be controlled by its maker anymore. Student overthrows master.
Again, you’ve got my brain cells doing all kinds of cartwheels, Charlie. Really awesome piece. 🙂
A great description and interpretation of my work.
That’s the enigma of questions when one creates its the creator and the maker comes back around to lose control of its creator.
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.
It’s going to be a head scratcher of poems to come. 🙂
That’s a very deep thought and definitely makes you think!
So, we’ll be saying farewell to Avant-magoria and hello to something even more exciting and new after Monday. I’m sure you’re going to blow us away, Charlie! I really enjoyed this series. It challenged us to go outside the box with our thoughts and I love that. I can’t wait to see what you have lined up after Monday my friend. 🙂
I promise the reading will be worth it. Lots of words that maybe some have heard and not heard of before.
Yltnegilletni
Now, for the 2nd course – Esruc
The second curse is the authors vision, hence his creation of a message for the world.
Very thought provoking!
Thank you, Frank.
I’ve been wanting to post this one for some time and I did because – 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.
Life is a riddle Charlie, many layers to peel and find the core code..
Sending thoughts your way my friend, thank you for your patience, and hope you have been well and enjoying your week..
Finally catching up a little here and there..
Much Love my friend
Correct. Peeling every layer may take time but, eventually the answer of the code lies deep within and that’s where the source stared. 🙂
Bless you, Sue. I’m a patience person and my heart feels happy and calm. 🙂
Theologically correct and at the same time, so zen. Loved it. 💕😊
Thank you, Jan.
Restoring the balance is the way doing so backward. 🙂
