nose hairs


they stand in line
  stiff and stark
rank and file
  on the march

merciless soldiers
  raised from hell
heft their siege
  in endless swell

rifles raised
  with bayonettes
they stab their way
  with no regrets

shooting always
  toward the brain
with deadly force
  unfailing aim

for each one pulled
  from out the race
a dozen rise
  to fill their place

marching always
  on the brain
marching till i
  go insane


In a list

    Again a very fine write, indeed. Imagery; rhythm and rhyme are just fine. Thanks for sharing this one with us.

    i know how the littlest of those hairs could drive you crazy. not a good thing for an OC to have such distraction . on second thought, you have an excellent rhyming piece here for a change. so your hair issue managed to bring out the best, not to mention the real funny, in you. you should feel good to have made a lot of people laugh.

      I wasn't quite counting on the positive feedback this kulit little poem got. Wonder if it'll be the one poem I'm remembered by three centuries from now?

    I don't think this poem needs constructive criticism. I think it's wonderful, brilliant, and very different.

      But my god girl, a true poet should never write about nose hairs.

      Glad you enjoyed though!

        I once read a poem by a friend written about his...well... he was taking a bath, watching his...well... it was bobbing about in the water...and he wrote an ode to it! It was hilarious, if a tad inappropriate! celtic queen

    excellent / who woulda thunk it .

    Why is it, whenever I have my hands full with a heavy load... one of those soldiers goes awol, sneaks out & attacks the fortress with a tickle?

    Inspiration comes from some strange sources but you manage to meet it head on and produce some good verses. I can sympathise with this except that I wonder how yours manage to
    .... stand in line
    stiff and stark
    as opposed to the clump of weeds I cultivate.

      Strange and prickly sources. Yes!

      Well I'm constantly plucking my little pricklers out, so they're always stiff and stark, never a chance for them to weed out. Monstrous little moblies.
