Dammit I’m Mad

Jump to newest

Dammit I’m mad.

Evil is a deed as I live.

God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.

To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.

Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?

Man, it is hot. I’m in it. I tell.

I am not a devil. I level “Mad Dog”.

Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,

In my halo of a mired rum tin.

I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.

Is evil in a clam? In a trap?

No. It is open. On it I was stuck.

Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.

Be still if I fill its ebb.

Ew, a spider… eh?

We sleep. Oh no!

Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.

Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.

Both, one… my names are in it.

Murder? I’m a fool.

A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash.

A Goddam level I lived at.

On mail let it in. I’m it.

Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!

A loss it is alas (sip). I’d assign it a name.N

ame not one bottle minus an ode by me:

“Sir, I deliver. I’m a dog”

Evil is a deed as I live.

Dammit I’m mad.

Every line, from the title to the end, can be read backwards. The letters all work to read the same sentence either way.

It's not really its a word or phrase or sentence read forwards as it is backwards. As I said above

It reads backwards and forwards the same. Look at the letters, not the words.

Are you being funny ? I've answered you twice now and you've completely ignored my answer! Is that because you directed it at someone else ? And that's why you've choose to ignore me?

I thought it had shades of Beckett or Larkin about it. Now I realise the whole thing is a clever palindromic construction I would put it closer to the work of Cage. Much of his poetry is similarly absurdist, post-modernist, deconstructivist baloney!

This is clever on the level of being palindromic and initially kidding the reader that it is somehow philosophically or intellectually significant. However, it clearly isn't and as such it is rendered less poetry and more accurately described as doggerel!

I tend to agree with those who felt this work is evidence the poet has far too much time on his hands. Clever, perhaps? Genius, no!

And it failed to include my all-time favourite palindrome: racecar!

The construction of a poem can be clever - the strict rules about the form of a sonnet for example! However, if any meaning is lost purely at the expense of the form of the poem, or at least some literary significance in the way the words are played with, the poem becomes little better than the second-rate musings of a pompous undergraduate!

Read John Cage's take on the poem 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree'. I read it as an undergrad myself. It's all about the form - the deconstruction of the original poem. The meaning is the form and the form is the meaning. I think Martin is trying to do much more with his poem, but fails.

I think it's cleverly done."

And no I'm pretty sure I can't !! I go back and messages are missing. Just like I got a 24hr ban as a member reported me yet I've seen worse on here and nothing gets done. If your face fits it's ok , if you agree with with the majority it's ok. My posts have been deleted loads of times so I know it happens. Esp if your friends with a mod or admin

"I thought it had shades of Beckett or Larkin about it. Now I realise the whole thing is a clever palindromic construction I would put it closer to the work of Cage. Much of his poetry is similarly absurdist, post-modernist, deconstructivist baloney!

This is clever on the level of being palindromic and initially kidding the reader that it is somehow philosophically or intellectually significant. However, it clearly isn't and as such it is rendered less poetry and more accurately described as doggerel!

I tend to agree with those who felt this work is evidence the poet has far too much time on his hands. Clever, perhaps? Genius, no!

And it failed to include my all-time favourite palindrome: racecar!

"

Please, feel free to do better.

Well I don't know what the fuck happened in this thread, but I think the palindrome is pretty clever. Of course it's not going to be meaningful poetry, ffs, the limitations of making the entire fucking thing a palindrome are quite substantial.

It gladdens my heart that, even in this digital age, poetry is still capable of causing controversy and outrage.
