Surreal; Dada; Nonsense; Abstract; Opposing and Contradictory Poetry: Be Brave!
Prose has always appeared unresponsive and close-minded about Abstract and Surrealism when it comes to Poetry and Prose and even story lines. Take a chance and dip your toe in a world that doesn't make sense. Think the automatic cut-up writing of William S. Burroughs or the nonsensical natural whimsy of Captain Beefheart if you need inspiration. The most bizarre wins more then anything money could buy. They'll have won versatility and a key to the 'promise land'.

Paradise

Dreaming we were sea

Swirling cloudless uncertainty

Daft to silken hands

Caressing us as we fall

Chaos holds a steady reign

As we fly against the moon

Holding fast against the light

Things are different tonight

Swathed in melted stars

You look so divine

Fallen drops of sunlight

Mellowed cosmic cascade

Plunging further down

Leaking from the sky

Like stars betrayed

Too lost to feel afraid

Heathens they become

Bound to immortal gloom

That the goddess of promises

Has failed to make right

Impenetrable paradise

Squandered long ago

We only see it now

Hidden in cruel delight

Salvation is a ghost

A shadow of the sun

Some may never see it

Until the time has passed

I am 21 years or older.
