Socks by ~intimachine:iconintimachine:



You can't always win a nobel prize
or vicarious eyes

drive-by glances
momentary chances

while thinking of ways to rhyme
biohazard
with a 2 syllable word;

I spew lizard,
despite how absurd,

and whether or not
that strikes you in awe
or raises a brow,
or opens your jaw,

regardless of whatever you're thinking right now,
this has no relevance... to anything. At all.

Sometimes you write
about humanity's flaws,
write to grant laughter,
or analyze God,

but then when you write,
you imagine your bed!
so maybe you'd rather be writing
about... socks, instead.

It shouldn't take long
since i'm very much familiar
and quite frankly, an expert,
in the subject matter,

I mean, I wear socks
like, every day, man.

It's I think something
everyone should try.
        At least once,
just sit down and write.


No theory, no philosophy,
no literary temptation.
Just write shit about socks,
and the feet that wear them.

Daily Deviation, 2008-03-02

Daily DeviationSocks by ~intimachine has a strong sense of rhythm, used cleverly to enhance the topic written about... that's right, socks! Sometimes writers don't need to be so pretentiously "deep" in their writing. This fantastic spoken word piece should make some of us rethink our approach to poetry, or at least, it's bound to turn a few heads. (Suggested by *fllnthblnk and Featured by ^lovetodeviate)

Ooohhh... this is the kind of philosophy I've been struggling to adopt in my writing. I always write about "deeper" things or whatever you want to call it. Thank you for writing on a topic such as this.

Love the rhythm... and the rhymes were pure :heart: as well.

haha no problem man. i was trying to think of something really profound to write about, but came up with nothing. thus, this spawned.

which is, inadvertantly, somewhat profound, wouldn't you say? ;)

This really brought a smile to my face. I love the way it's written, and the whole idea behind it.

I live in a fictional world, make friends with fictional people. I say fictional words, and think fictional thoughts. But never do I eat fictional food. It all tastes like paper.

:wave: Guilty as charged! I admit, I'm a "deep thinker" when it comes to my writing. Doesn't mean I don't love the creations of those on the other side of the river, though! Great work!

Haha! I love it! And I'm guilty as charged.. Hmm, maybe you're right.. I should, as you said, quit thinking so goddamn much sometimes..
