Since we keep complaining about contemporary poetry, it's time to make our own contribution, /lit/.

This is supposed to be semi-serious and not just a memefest like TLoTiaT, Hypersphere and Dreamscape.

Nah. Maybe three /lit/izens have read one collection of poetry written after ww2 (not counting Milk and Honey), being triggered by Rupi Kaur doesn't make you informed on the subject. Also that's a shitty cover and the poetry will be shitty and pretentious.

I posted my old Bukowski satire. There's a giant fucking space between it and the terrorist account, so I would appreciate somebody better with this program to fix that.

I pick up the pen
And press it on the paper

If we actually wanted to go for a semi-serious (of course these things are in nature not supposed to be high art), this >>10150173 is probably the best approach.

Sorry, I meant making a new one.
I guess that part could (I though of using google docs to compile it) could come later?

The problem with OP's document is that it's horribly defaced and there's not a whole lot we can do about it until he comes back, and even then that doesn't solve the problem

The Ballad of St. Thundercock

By Stacey Sheckelstein

To my Father
And his Iron Hand

Prologue

Our tale begins at the rusty loom of the Moirai, who with silken threads oh so fine indeed fashioned a fair youth of formidable might. You babble today as yesterday in your piss filled swamp of spirits stale, shackled in an echochamber with hollow toads of avarice – what do you know of this illuminating hue hue hue, but a scrawly caricature of a Darkened Sun? Pay attention, and joy shall be yours.

What Muses shall I invoke to sing his praise, but those delicate nymphs - treasure of the Earth! - with their petite feets and glossy toes wrapped in black heels of leathery strips, with limb legs and muscular thighs veiled in a smothering smoothness of the sharpness of the blade, with their childish tummy and their motherly breasts screaming softly from the fabric of their lightly donned dress, with nude shoulders curved and graceful fingers slick, with the conniving whiteness of their teeth protruding from lips soaked in drooling thirst, with eyes of a silent frenzy to pierce the souls of many men. Scream like Banshees for the meager man, but for Thundercock, sing indeed they will.

What Empires to conquer with warm steel and cold blood, but to slither in a suit and drink the rivers dry with the bloated bastion of bamboozlers nesting in a Nepotistic sham. What cross our hero bears, this copper necklace as a Pascalian vager worn. Of sorrow, the artists curse, he knows not – spare your learned lectures and pious preaching for the melancholic mass. Blessed is he, our Abraxas.
