do you think that one person can make a difference and change the tepid waters of habit.....?

is The Poet right....? and Tracey Chapman? do we need a revolution?

today I am your English Teacher and I want you to write a poem so revolutionary and encompassing thoughts of a philosophy that we haven't yet seen.....right something that is ahead of its time.....that is beyond what we have seen so far......write a poem for the future.....any takers?
....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......

  • A poem of the future, for the future? I doubt whether it could be written in English, dear ISN. ;)

    well, Julia Roberts was trying to change Wesselly (sp?) in the 50s in the film.....Picasso hadn't been accepted.....Van Gogh....who never sold a painting in his life had just been understood......Jackson Pollock was revolutionary.....if art can do it......then we can use words to paint a revolutionary concept that is ahead of its time.......just do it Finsbury.....don't be slackin (reminds me....go look at Suede's art - he's as good as anything hanging in Reine Sofia....some amazing Spanish artists there)

    Jackson Pollock is the man

    Oh, thanks ISN...I didn't read past Pollock the first time. I'm no Pollock or Rothko, but thanks. :) Oh, and I'm not Spanish either ;)

    Reine Sofia was an eye-opener......some Spanish artists so incredible....but they had everything.......and everyone......I never went to the Prado.....Tate Modern was okay.....but really Reine Sofia takes the biscuit......

    if I conceive a revolutionary poem......then you all have no excuse......this one will be worked on......not like my other slapdash ones

    Suede's in Detroit. I'd need Tex Avery eyeballs to reach that far.
