I want some… order
Poem: I want some… order
Too bored
Not easy
Not stimulating
Not happy
I’m not exaggerating
But I’m evaporating
I want some order
My order of fun
Catapult me into a clean, beautiful, pretty and useful world
I want round-the-clock snug
With the right night clubbing
And the right dj’s spinning discs
Of soul, samba and reggae
Dance Dance Dance during the day by the river and at night
We’ll have the language of joy and supreme delight!
You will like it
You’ll be dancing with me
Review:I want some…order
Oh dear! Oh no! The poet is experiencing more than being just a bit fed up!
A bored poet? A bored artist? It’s unheard of, surely. There’s so much material out there that boredom just doesn’t occur, right?
Wrong! Whether we all admit it or not, boredom does exist.
Why is this? Does it need to exist? Can it be a good thing? (another story for another time)
In a nutshell, I personally believe that repeated boredom is a message attempting to tell the people or an individual to make a change for the better.
I get it if it’s an observation of boredom by the poet to then see what can be done to amend the situation and then to balance out the experience of life with the more pleasurable, inspiring, interesting and exciting things. It looks like the poet has found themselves conducting some involuntary research on the subject. It sounds like there is an imbalance and the reader learns of what is needed.
It must feel awful to feel like you’re slowly disappearing or worse, to feel totally invisible in a crowded world.
So what is the answer?
The poet wants aesthetically pleasing things. Eye of the beholder and all that eh? Each to their own, etc etc.
Bin the worn out stuff. Can be done, yes.
Recycle stuff. That too can be done.
Buy new stuff. Sure. The poet wants to be comfortable and to feel secure. Fine, I get that too. Sounds like a plan BUT what else does the poet need? What is needed to stimulate the poet?
It’s that ‘F’ word
F for FUN!
FUN FUN FUN FUN FUN FOR FUN’S SAKE!
It feels so satisfying to shout it!
Looks like the poet wants to be launched right into it.
That is a place to experience music, dance and to share that with others. The words are vivid. I feel that it’s describing London, with one of London’s creative spaces by the river where I have been many a time and that’s the Southbank centre
I admire the honesty, energy and the order. Let’s dance yes!
I love how the poet connects directly with the reader by saying that they’ll enjoy the experience as they’ll be acknowledged, welcomed and included.
To experience the joy of music with others is a great way to connect and communicate. I’d be happy to do that with the poet, and I’m sure I will like it!
