surreal poetry
Surrealist poetry embodies the essence of poetry itself, drawing upon shocking imagery and lyrical incongruities to comment on the inner-workings of the mind.
The Mad Hatter
Cheshire cat sits on my shoulder. With a gleam in his eye and a sinister grin, he whispers in my ear. "You're mad as a hatter. You're perfect for this role. This year has ravaged you, taken it's toll. Your colors are faded, so should you paint on the rouge. Put on a colorful tailcoat and an oversized top hat, too. But do not dismay, your life is destined to change most capraesque.. Once you learn to ask questions such as: "Why is a raven like a writing desk?". I heed his words, and before my eyes he begins to disappear. I think I'm hallucinating, and as if he can read my fear, his grin grows wider as he says "We are ALL mad here."

Killing Kingdom
Always fascinated by and called to existentialism in poetry and fiction, this piece hearkens back to the simplicity of such an influence. Mountains. An argument. A train roaring by. The majesty of the morning. All rise and converge, giving way to simplistic acceptance in the form of cyclical indifference. I hope Charles Bukowski would be proud; almost as much as I hope that you enjoy it.
