degrammar
This form consciously wrecks normal English grammar, not a new idea.
In some poems, I’ve borrowed from other
languages, including computer languages. I’ve
removed small connecting words, and assembled concept words
in imprecise order, to loosen linguistic context. Just as I chaffed against
the rectangular border of photographs,
so I’m chaffing against over–precise English language.

fugue
JS Bach was the master of the fugue. Tunes repeat, invert, stagger, slow, quicken, transform;
concurrent contrapunctual counterpoint.
A poem fugue is merely spoken repeated until the person reciting runs out of stupidity.

ranting poesie
A “Ranting Poesie” poem is for pub philosophers.
It should be simple to recite whilst drunk.
It should flow through the mouth,
without being obvious.
It should challenge belief.

I’ve only used two rhyming schemes, the traditional Shakespearian ababcdcdefefgg, and an immediate scheme
of aabbccddeeffgg to alienate the content.
