It’s National Poetry Month…and I, Uhh, Invented My Own ‘Poetic Form’
April 21, 2009 by Clint Catalyst · 2 Comments
Nerd-a-riffic, yes.
As in: it’s now “registered” as a new literary artistic form, the whole bit.
However, with ‘free verse’ being the norm these days rather than the exception,
it seems the most radical thing a poet can do is conform to a rigid structure.
I created one with regard to meter, stanza—the title, even.
The first piece I wrote within this form is published here:
The Battered Suitcase: April, 2009
And I expound upon the form in an interview here:
As usual, I’m wordy as Sweet F.A…
so feel free to scan down to where I explain the “Millennial Haiku,” if you’re interested.
Tongue/Cheek?
Fiercely wriggled, please.&.thanks
So, Yeah…I’m Old.

Here are some of the fine folks who came out
to celebrate that I’m now a year closer to the ol’ dirt nap…
Realizing that I’m—ahem—under a bit of stress as of late,
Jessicka took it upon herself to organize a dinner
at one of my favorite local eateries, Casita Del Campo:
Swish Hips Earn Tips:
Rawk Chicks Lisa Leveredge and Jessicka
None other than Miss Lenora Claire was there
Totes lettin’ us have it with the twins!
(Which I’m not mad about…ain’t mad about at all…)
Wordsmith Brendan Mullen of Lexicon Devil, We Got The Neutron Bomb,
and Live at the Masque: Nightmare in Punk Alley fame
Kim Sosore and William Mills—i.e.,
Just about the cutest damn couple in town
whereas
only half of this duo is “lookin’ good”…
and that half by no means is myself!
(Beneath my grip is the beautiful journalist
known as Caroline Ryder)
Of course,
I feel it imperative to announce:
NOT A SINGLE MARGARITA WAS SLURPED AT THIS DINNER…
Jessicka Addams. Lisa Leveredge.
Proof/Pudding?
;D
Mmm Hrmm…
Yeah, right.
Damn shame I can’t blame my own bad behavior
on anything other than…
Luis Payne of Hairroin Salon!
(Now, there’s an exclamation point
that wants to be an interrobang “when it grows up,”
if I’ve ever seen one.)
And speaking of the ol’ “!?”—
I should move on to THE PARTY, fer F’s sake!
However, before I clack a single syllable into the keyboard,
I want to give a
Huge-Ass Honkin’
Load of THANKS
to my pals
Adrian and The Mysterious D
of
For hosting a birthday shin-dig for me
and my “Thousand Closest Imaginary Friends”
with the legendary Paul V
at
(one of several monthly parties thrown around the world–
I’m so proud to see two pals from S.F. go ‘Global!’)
♥ HIT IT, DEIRDRE! ♥
Also, I must admit I wasn’t exactly bummed to have Rony Alwin of
there to chronicle some* of the evening’s guests…
Here are a few ‘choice’ shots (filched from aforementioned site, please.&.thanks):
