Exercise 3

 I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox - William Carlos Williams

William Carlos Williams has a really interesting style; it's also extremely plain 

jane and boring to some of his readers.

Here is my parody of his poem, This is Just To Say...

I just wanted 

To say that

I drank your tequila

Your Liqour tasted

extremely expensive

but I don't care

I also ate 

Your Bagel Bites

Sorry I'm not Sorry

I tried to present my lines in the same manner of syllables and represent a 

mirror image of Williams 3 stanzas.Honestly, I don't know why anyone would   keep plums in an icebox. Ice box is also two words but Williams doesn't pay    much attention to grammar, so neither did I. I left the lines open ended to 

leave a false sense of spacing despite the lack of punctuation. 

Opening the Cage: 14 Variations on 14 Words

"I have nothing to say and I am saying it and that is poetry." — John Cage

I thought that there was a lot of meaning in the 14 words and the arrangement used in this poem. On the other hand I felt that it was so indecipherable that there was very little meaning I could derive from the actual lines of the poem. John Cage's quote is what displays the message and focus of this literature to me. The idea of experimental poetry and art is something that is very interesting and has a great possibility to be popular. I don't like how there was no punctuation in the poem, but that also leads us to examine each word as letters and sounds. In the end I only found the message to show us that possibilities in literature are fully up to the author, we as writers have the choice to do whatever we want. It doesn't really matter what you or me think, you can disagree, but the expression of the poem is connected to the author who puts a part of themselves into writing it. 

The hardest part for me is figuring whats creative and whats just chaos. I can be in the mood to write a paragraph, but when that mood dies I have no feelings for the words I have just written. I deleted my previous post because it was way too shitty and drunkenly written. I probably will put a pretty picture at the end of this post to make myself feel better about my writing today too though... What do people blog about these days now? I could try and say that a music or fashion blog would be really artsy and creative yet at the same time there is nothing creative about displaying another piece of creativity and analyzing it like an amateur.


I wish that the tab key worked for Blogger...

Because I have no idea where my rambling words will bring you and what value they may hold with you I will give you this. I am no expert on anything blog oriented, I don't think blogging is that cool but I do think it has its place. So, I will share a song, or new original song for every post I feel has no purpose other than to be a journal entry filled with my personal ennui.

Here is a Song by the legendary Kurt Cobain (Kirko Bangz)

I have literally listened to this song 20-50 times in the past 2 days.( and its not even that bangin')
