Two Poems, with Figurative Language
Says Mr. Dennis Siluk, when asked to review his poetry somewhat, for he hesitates all the time when I ask him to so; I can tell you. Anyhow, he said to me (responding more on poem #728, "Derivative Echoes"): "Figurative language, meaning words used to refer to something that you don't really mean, is used here to make noises, as are metaphors sometimes. Probably the reason I used figurative language imagery here was to tie the ideas and feelings my poem [s] expresses [ness] to the physical world in which I want it to exist." He lost me somewhere along the line, but it sounded good when I read the poems. Rosa Penaloza. The Bear-men of Qolqepunku (Foreshadow) High up in the Andes of Peru Glacier, frost and snow Dressed in furry clocks and masks Of sacred healing powers The Bear-men, they are called: Guardians of the ice They cut the ice in solid blocks To family, friends, and livestock Ah! Sixteen-thousand feet high, comes Year, after year, after year. The Bear-men-, silently watch As if in thin air!... They've now decide to leave the ice As warming temperatures rise? This is helping the Ice Cap Perhaps this is a whisper? "Is this the world's end?" #731 6/17/05 Derivative Echoes I would show you love in a handful of clouds- Could I find the clouds, and find the love; Fallen angels had love from heaven, In hell one loves lust and thus, would be Unhappy in Heaven I imagine?; Looking for?? We're living for? ?with aches and pains in the mind Fear of death-nymphs (well dressed) Light; perfect pitch, more questions than #728 6/2005 Poet Dennis Siluk

Stone Beds [A Poem and an Advance] Stone Beds [Pompeii's surge]Advance: after the great eruption of Pompeii's nearby volcano, Vesuvius, some two-thousand years ago in the heyday of the Roman Empire, what was left of the city were mostly ashes of stone from an unleashing furnace; it is hard to imagine what the people went through (none, not one person survived). I can only guess from the looks of the city today, and in its early excavations, its people were baked alive or asleep, like pottery. Kafka Re-Trial Kafka lands resurrected in Crewe deposited by a silvery alien craft, And whilst he is wondering what to do He is asked to show his pass Or pay an instant one off fine At a cash dispenser of his choice And they are checking all the time On his irises face and voice.And of course they find that he is not, They discover he just cannot be there, Although he seems as if he is visible, And has hands and toes and hair, If he is not on the Great Data Bank, He plainly and simply cannot be, He is not listed and he is not ranked He is surely not like you and me.
