The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for July 14, 2024

Interestingly, that is a noise that has never bothered me.

He rather watch doggie roll in garbage again.

In a parody of some poet who had a radio program, Ernie Kovacs created the character “Percy Dovetonsils”, a "bizarrely effeminate ‘artiste’ " (per Wikipedia). He certainly had a bizare appearance.

I recently attended an evening of “SLAM” poetry… in French…

I surprised myself for not only following the French… but actually enjoying the evening too…

An artist would scrape his toenails on a blackboard. Considered repurposing an updated vintage concept.

Far out poetry and “modern” abstract art—Not for me.

“Lurks like a lurky thing”. You mean like Turkey Lurkey?

In other poetry news, see today’s Big Top

No dogs or other animals today? It could have been a “Pee on the poet” night!

Ode to Turkish Coffee

Ah yes, Percy. He was a beatnik (phrase of that time).

Wonder if Adrian was drawing on his experience as audience member here!

“Sludge” and “’mug” don’t even rind.

I hate …………. those nails on the caulk board …… just thinking about it makes chills run down my back ……. ;)
