MURDER FOR A JAR OF RED RUM ▪︎ ☆ Note: Entry for FFPC # 8 Prompt Challenge organised by @bymepoetry - Septlinea (seven line poem with rhyme scheme: ABCDCBA). • ☆ Details: 》This is a reverse poem, you can read the poem backwards word by word, and it means differently, though not necessarily in the opposite way; and here, except for the fourth line. (That is, it goes like this - "Slaughter ruminations, ruthless... Laughter, fatal and final.") 》The fourth line is special because: a. It doesn't rhyme with any line in accordance with the Septlinea. b. It is a true palindrome (the individual letters read the same forwards and backwards). 》This is what I like to call a Surrealistic Poem, which I'm a bit partial to. I rarely ever post them because it takes explaining. It's a bit convoluted, almost meaningless to anybody else but me, serving as a bridge between my conscious and my unconscious. ▪︎ Reading forwards: . Theme: Method in Madness┃Description: Imagery, depicting a last ditch attempt at a failing event, old tears shed at having tried the same thing to expect something else (the 'method' is madness), a stupid thing done, the revelation leaving a person sad. His conscience is made obvious, his ruminations now ruthless, 'slaughtering'. The laughter here, is that of a desperate, 'tragic humour' quality. * * * Reading backwards: . Theme: Madness made Method┃Description: When you viciously slaughter conscious thought, and fuel a cunning conscience instead, sadness is turned into rage, since the madness is made the method, in this case. Tears run dry, & this time, the laughter takes on a hysterical quality. . However, both instances are brought on by something lost. ▪︎ ☆ 📸: Pinterest ▪︎ #cinderconecrucible #ffpcbyme #bymepoetry #murderforajarofredrum #surrealism #poetry • #apoeticlove #apoeticview #herheartpoetry #silverleafpoetry #heartofpoets #societyofpoetry #poeticreveries_ #poemoftheday #inclusivepoetry #poetsofinstagram #poetrycommunity #poetryisnotdead #poets_area #creativewriting #writersnetwork #poetrysociety #poemoftheday #thewritersturf #streetwritersofficial #globalagepoetry #evepoetrygroup #theurbanpoets #packpoetry #heartofquill #poetsandwriters (at Red Rum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDpWQk7FsOv/?igshid=r66rd9yh6b0k
