New Verse

I've been working off and on to make up for the problems concerning my computer. I've rewritten parts of deleted poems, and a couple of fragments are now posted in "Scraps," and will probably sit there until I've deformed them into a form I like. There was one piece, which was nearly complete and also one of the most recent, which I've now uploaded as my latest deviation, "Poor Little Girl". If you've seen it, then you've encountered the odd language. That style has acquired a meaning of its own, because I feel incongruent with so much around me and am dissatisfied with so much of modernity (or post-modernity or whatever). My work should seem archaic and foreign. I'm rather tired of verse-chorus-verse-chorus songs and so I want to write more "content-structured" work --- where different ideas or events in the poem are the basis for the division into sections, like scenes in a play, paragraphs in a five-paragraph essay, etc. All the writing I've uploaded so far, by the way, has been pieces I wrote a long time, sometimes years ago, even if I revised them before posting them. Thus "Poor Little Girl" is like a demarcation of the old and the new, and shows the start of a more deliberate or purposeful direction.
