Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:17 (KJV)
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 3:5 (KJV)
| Within the clouds | fleeting |
| Above the google waves: | |
| Poets, with new wings | beating, |
| Raptured from their natural worlds, | |
| Only their cyberselves | meeting |
| Face-to-face the book-of-life, — | |
| Lighting bolts | sheeting |
| Between opposite-charged clouds — | |
| Share poetry, gulls | tweeting |
| Their praise. |

(Watching the videos on Cloud Computing and now Google Waves, it too much like the language of end-times rapture in the apocryphal text of the New Testament to go unnoticed.)
"google waves" that's so good...I also like the rhythm that is added by the final "ing" rhymes...
ReplyDeleteIt is kind of a song!

phil- the style and format of this piece are unique and intriguing. your clever use of abstract form pulled opposites together rather elegantly.
ReplyDeleteI love the juxtaposition between what the links are talking about and the Biblical quotes. And separating and rhyming the verbs is so smart. This is a pleasure to read.
ReplyDeleteI like this. I think your experiment with lines, line breaks, and the placement of words worked well here. Good job.
