Extraordinary 9/11 poem

The pilots were tricked by a lizard
An evil reptilian wizard
The reason they crashed
Was they couldn't see past
His wizardy lizardy blizzard

my point exactly
There's always a daft few cunts
Who'll always have a punt
with theories so mad
you can only assume
that their trousers are too tight
around their nad
gers.
 
i really like armitage - he's an accessible writer who deals with some inaccesible subjects and emotions (although this subject is perhaps more familiar territory - the skill in this poem is to communicate sincerity).

i get to teach armitage this term, he's on the gcse syllabus - they're either taught armiage and carol ann duffy, or gillian clarke and seamus heaney, plus they all study stacks of poetry from other cultures.

studying poetry is at once really easy, and very very hard. there's masses of it on the syllabus though, i'm not sure why.

a question is not a theory.

e2a I liked mauvais and cyberfairy's pomes:)

It is when you're trotting out the same old loaded loon nonsense.

But if you're that interested in the topic, there's ample published material available, written by people far more qualified on the subject than you or I (or any of the bedroom 'truthseekers).

You could start with this research written by Charles Clifton, HERA Structural Engineer, someone who has "17 years of experience in the research, design and construction of steel framed buildings"

no, a question.


Some folks like the government line
And they hope that things will turn out fine
But if killing’s your meat
Then you’re in for a treat
Cos the global war’s starting on time…

Have you read those links that thoroughly and comprehensively answer your 'question' with expert analysis and research, then?

And if not, why not?
 
I love debating 9/11 conspiracies as much as the next man.

but please let's try and keep this on-topic about the poetry :)
 
snouty warthog said:
I will read the links tommorrow. however, I doubt I will draw the same conclusion as you.
Hmm, now let me see. Which do I value the most, the unqualified 'conclusions' of an untrained amateur who knows jack diddly squat about engineering or the considered expert analysis and published papers of a host of highly qualified experts with years of experience in their chosen, relevant fields.

Tough one!

@R-D; it was not I who dragged it O/T

@Ed- and your answer is, Ed?

Doesn't matter who started it, can we just give it a rest and concentrate on the poetry, I'd rather not see this turn into a barney and head into the bin. :)

Do I know what you're on about?
No, I know nowt.
But your humourless interjections
Aren't giving me a erection
In fact I find them rather dreary
Just like the old Leeds manager, O'Leary

@ed- I was staying on the topic of the poem, and indeed added my own poem. I think that is staying on the topic. other posters have also posted poems. and I did discuss the poem mentioned in the OP.

@raver-drew
agreed.
 
editor said:
My post you quoted was poetry, dude
And if you can't see that, you're screwed

didnt notice your poetry
cos it didnt rhyme
will try much harder
to get it next time
 
Twenty-four years remind the tears of my eyes.
(Bury the dead for fear that they walk to the grave in labour.)
In the groin of the natural doorway I crouched like a tailor
Sewing a shroud for a journey
By the light of the meat-eating sun.
Dressed to die, the sensual strut begun,
With my red veins full of money,
In the final direction of the elementary town
I advance as long as forever is.

Dylan Thomas

(One of the best poets ever imo)

But your poem was full of tinfoil battiness
Designed to wreak unhappiness
Amongst normal folks bored to shit
with the same old fruitloop lack of wit
So if you want this thread to be fun
shove your theories up your bum

you still haven't answered the question I posted in my poem. regardless of the poetry in yr replies.

I didn't write the poem in anticipation of an answer. however, as you have engaged with me, I am interested in what your answer may be...

I'm sure you'll agree
that rhyming is not necessary
For a poem
So I'm going for a shit



(instead of a wee)

no, my poem contained a question; no theories, no 'tinfoil battiness' etc.

abuse doesn't help your case, in my opinion. it is the reserve of a coward, again, in my opinion.

why did you tell me
that you have to go ?
sometimes that is
just too much info :eek:
 
It's quite infuriating
How this thread is deteriorating.
No more conspiracy talk
Or I'm taking a walk :(
