The Skeptic's KaddishBanker, or: Bolshevik
The myth persists: banker, Bolshevik; rootless wanderer, colonizer; coward, conqueror; parasite, puppet master; outsider, insider; too separate, too integrated. Each age selects its favorite charge, then pins it to the same old sleeve. Contradictions matter less than finding someone to blame when fears arise.d’Verse Quadrille
The above poem is my take on d’Verse’s Quadrille challenge.
The Quadrille is simply a poem of 44 words (excluding the title), and it can take any form. This week’s challenge was to use the word “myth” in a Quadrille.
Let’s write poetry together!
When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.
–Ben Harper (b. 1969)Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!
