Just one of those days

Moving boxes yet again

Continuity

Trying to get stuff out of a garage-size storage unit by the end of the month when I'm my sole helper until my son has his spring break and can lend a hand really sucks! How did I ever accumulate this much junk?

Updated notes: I address my hoarding issues (and a lot of other crap) in this post if anyone cares to read it.

UPDATE? - Spoken Word and Posted Poetry Books

Whatever will be will be,

The result, not ours to see.

As hammer hits the nail,

As verbs write the tale.

So tomorrow lies in wait,

Silent in the debate.

The one thing this virus has done is to royally bugger up a large variety of things. I would have thought Spoken Word poetry recorded on YouTube then posted here would have been a lovely way of spending time during the lock-down but that hasn't been the case. Nevermind, there is more under my hat than a receding hairline. Posted Poetry Books? Coming soon to a blog near you.

the threat of venom

from those who slither legless

fear in man rises

but those who walk on two legs

cause much greater destruction

The snake pictured is a harmless grass snake. It is non-venomous. Yet many people would kill it on sight.

Bob Dylan

There was a time when the songs coming out of songs written by songwriters were compared to poetry. This started as far as I recall about the time Bob Dylan first appeared. Songs were no longer just songs but were acclaimed not just for the melody or lyrics but for there poetical content. They were favourably compared to poetry.  Many were they who rubbished this idea. Notably, my Mum who not only said it wasn't poetry at all but wasn't even a song sung by a singer but by someone who couldn't sing at all. There lies a perfect example of why we had a generation gap. 

The first vocal poetry was sung by a Troubadour. Troubadour's wandered around southern France and northern Italy and Spain warbling the poetry in song. Encyclopaedia Britannica states - Troubadour poetry formed one of the most brilliant schools that ever flourished, and it was to influence all later European lyrical poetry. This gentleman, the aforementioned Bob Dylan, remains one of the greatest exponents of the troubadour revival in the sixties. He is by no means the only one. Less Spoken Word poetry with which it shares kinship but poetry with melody.
