The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

More experimental poetry. It's a mixture between slam and visual. I call it written word :> I originally wrote it down the margin of a piece of paper during a lecture, and the word "circle" was written around the punch hole, which I thought was kinda cool. I can't be bothered putting it into code here so just imagine the word "circle" in a circular fashion.

 

On Lines

 

A line is just a line

Until it finds a line

Or makes ends meet.

I is just a line.

I am just a line.

Do you follow?

Get in line.

 

I thought we'd come full

circle

But nothing is that simple

People just look round.

Feigned ellipse -

Curved but not quite complete.

 

Do U C?

Open-ended question,

Say what you like.

 

We're back in lines,

But this thought process was not so...

vicious.

Was it?

 

No.

Hmm, I can't claim that I understand your ending here, but I liked the rest of the poem a lot.

 

Working with visual things, turning them into metaphores and what not, always one of my favorites.

 

Care to explain the end to me? Maybe I'm just overlooking something logical...

 

Thanks for posting!
