Surreal; Dada; Nonsense; Abstract; Opposing and Contradictory Poetry: Be Brave!
Prose has always appeared unresponsive and close-minded about Abstract and Surrealism when it comes to Poetry and Prose and even story lines. Take a chance and dip your toe in a world that doesn't make sense. Think the automatic cut-up writing of William S. Burroughs or the nonsensical natural whimsy of Captain Beefheart if you need inspiration. The most bizarre wins more then anything money could buy. They'll have won versatility and a key to the 'promise land'.

The circle of life

an egregious buffoon

what is life, but a stopwatch

the cowbells tinkle

it is all in the hands of the brave

and so we dance

an Irish fishing reel

three shirts and a set of underwear

Douglas is bald

two tutus and a toupee

the knives of insomnia

are there roses in the garden?

but here comes Larry

ba-dum diddy tish

bananas are drumsticks

which makes Vikings turkeys

cauterize your typewriter

blood flows

slurp your lemonade

but not nectarines

the world is steamy

where is my fan?

toot toot!

the inspiration begins

clickity-clack, clickity-clack!

is sherbet sugar?

and around the corner we go

rabbits and dogs

the spires of Constantinople

don't get caught in the spike trap

waterslides are fun

knock knock, there's a doorbell

is this reality?

basil in a plant pot

Valhalla ahoy!

but only in Alabama

chickens eat hay

watch the canary!

kaboom!

one fist, two fist, red fist, blue fist

are those my boots?

sing a song for the sing-along

it's north of Malayasia

polar beers in Antarctica

too much head for a lambic

but was it a typo?

I'll ask Georgina

my belt is on backwards

it's simple maths

count the squares

and add on the trapeze

behold the elephant pig

emails from yesterday

newspapers are due tomorrow

help, it's the weekend

and thus the buffoon
