Penrith snacks for Penrith people.

lentil chickpea burger

 

[luka]

guzzling hanging out rock up looking mean

 

[luka]

taut denim

 

[luka]

its what the wake is about and the coming to realisation of it and the holding of the within a story

 

[luka]

so that the beignning and ending are tied up and youve turned a trick out of time

 

[luka]

but we still dont quite know what actually happened

 

[luka]

a murder, or a vign birth a blemish in the surfact of all the is

 

[luka]

hes as close weve come to it, on the scene of it, we've tracked him down

 

[luka]

we dont write the poems are are subsequent to events we try to exaplin them

 

[luka]

he bcame conscious and aware of this process of recovery

 

[who is he? i love him!]

This is an example of a sestina, considered by some to be the most difficult poetic form. See how the end words cycle in a particular pattern in each stanza and are recapitulated in the closing three lines? That helps with the disorientating, static feel, and gives rise to effects like something "not a miracle" which seven lines later is a miracle. It also mirrors the poet's confusion of herself with the man on the balcony.

Thanks, i'm really new to poetry and i appreciate the explanation of the technique although that's not really where my gripes come from, do you have any recs for poems that use this kind of form?

he bcame conscious and aware of this process of recovery
