Mahlertotenlied

Half a pound
Like, to like, to not like
Likeness, with body, bodice
Bernice
No composer ever married a woman called Bernice
I am a composer
We are all composers
After a while, we all decompose
Some of us are more advanced, that is all

The death of children
Lieder aus...
Blicket auf...
Ticket AUS...
First class to a land of (pause for the rhyme) sand

Poetry and it's place on this website
Does it have one?
It does, and it is here

So is this poetry?
TS Eliot; "Poetry has a different system of punctuation"
This has no full stops; it is poetry

To return to our subject:
Songs
Death
Anything else?
Children
Sounds more like Britten
The children's choir in A Ceremony of Carols is paedophilic
In the Symphony of a Thousand it is angelic
There is something not adding up here

State of the nation: Idaho
Nobody goes there, or comes from there
State of Britten: Dead

It's OK, even Shakespeare liked punning

Punning bastards
Does not sound as bad as:
Punting bastards
Is there a deep truth in this?
No, because the boat is too shallow
Much like those in it

"I have decided to write a novel without using the letter E / full stops / quote marks / semi-colons / the word nonchalant / a pen / paper / words"
"What do you read, my Lord?"
"Words, words... no, my mistake, there are no words here."
Clever is not the word

Eliminate all words at a stroke
Whatever you say:

Eph'wr {+3$ AjU8T#++,q H"$ lIt~-z| t0 &Rc� :i? Rf

Clever, very clever
Maybe that is the word But is it poetry?
See above
