Notion:
Hate
I wish to
make it clear to thou, whom I hate.
I hope thou
will suffer when thou enter Hell’s gate.
Doth thy
mother even care for thee?
Thy cadaver
put into the ground is what I wish to see.
But before
thou shall feel the relief of death.
Thou must
suffer whilst alive, until thy last breath.
I hopeth
thy have some beautiful offspring, that deceases from cancer.
And whilst
thou look to God for an answer,
on their
graves I will act as a dancer.
Why doth I
deserve this hate, thou may ask
For what thou
did maketh not hating you an impossible task.
Thou stole
the girl I loved, and took her as thy wife.
And for
that intolerable action I wish to end thy life.
REFLECTION
If I had
chosen another author function, for example scribbler, this poem might come off
as a homicidal threat, but by using the notion, hate, in a poem it comes off as
an angry poet that blows off some steam through art. Furthermore, I wanted to
make it sound Victorian in order to make it less dark, although it is still a
dark poem.
Well, that's not Victorian, exactly - but perhaps a botched version of a Victorian such as Tennyson, attempting late medieval English. But anyway, the hate comes through clearly. I wonder if the author function is simply that of a poet or if it mixes a bit of the prophet function in there too with the curses cast on the object of hatred.
ReplyDeleteDark, but still nice... somehow! ;)
ReplyDeleteA very 'Jesper Hansen' poem. The answer->dancer lines in particular read very nicely.
