William Wordsworth the world is too much with us. Dramatic reading of sonnet (text below) Phoenix Bone Productions 2025-08-31 | Meaning discontent with the modern world of inhuman technology, yearning for a full-bodied, full-blooded primordial existence. Read by Brett Harrison, himself a poet.The world is too much with us. Late and soon,Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.Little we see in Nature that is ours.We have given our hearts away --- a sordid boon!This sea that bares her bosom to the moon,The winds that will be howling at all hours,And are up-gather'd now like sleeping flowers,For this, for every thing, we are out of tune.It moves us not. Great God! I'd rather beA pagan suckl'd in a creed outworn.So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn.Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea,Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn
Tattooed Rita spooky new poem (rhyming) Phoenix Bone Productions 2025-08-28 | Gravy's burning on her stove;She likes to fight and kiss and rove;It burns her dress a deeper mauve; Have you met Tattooed Rita?Gravy flames ain't worth her trouble;She rules her own bewitching bubble;Her dust-drawn floor hosts THINGS that scuttle; They all know Tattooed Rita.Her bathroom's some enchanted swamp,Where dusky creatures breed, and romp.Prepare, when one learns language --- stomp! He'll not snare Tattooed Rita.She paints in darkness, scratch by scratch;She drips her latest colours batch;Her porthole trembles on its latch; Stay IN there, Tattooed Rita.Night brings out her boots, and smokes;And mushroom-studded, fur-lined cloaks;She trawls around by Osbourne's Oaks; 'Come home to Tattooed Rita.'They never sniff to question why;They're cheap-wine, red-pills, moon-drunk high;That breeze uncloaks her dark-strung thigh; They follow Tattooed Rita.Through them weeds, and crabgrass vales,They feel their way; her dress, like sails,Her echoes like red velvet trails Etched deep in Tattooed Rita.Broken glass; no need for knobs;They crouch inside; her entrance throbs;It's crowded here; her spider mobs The throat of Tattooed Rita.She flips it off; undresses quick;The moonlight throws one furtive lickBefore she's slunk through shadows slick With grease for Tattooed Rita.There he follows; casts his belt;In dens this close, the spiders melt.She blares all space; he NEVER smelt No dame like Tattooed Rita.Gravy boils; none are near;The stove, deserted, burns one tear;A man's distracting, seam on sear His mistress Tattooed Rita.Jugulars by night are bare,Blue-veined, translucent, lush --- beware.His life's one fine-spun, fragile hair By razor Tattooed Rita.One lion, red, adorns her backIn smoulder, glisten, heart-blood; blackIts wings for close-knit, furled attack On who's in Tattooed Rita.He's lost his name; his wallet; keys ---No home to scrape to, hope for ease;He only knows the relentless breeze He blows through Tattooed Rita.She's caught his spasm, drunk his will;She holds him to her, grasping still;Her stomach gleams; his moonlit spill Graffitis Tattooed Rita.After then, they smoke, and stare;She licks her blade once, strokes his hair;His eyes might make her almost care;She closes hers, flips back his hair And stabs like Tattooed Rita.Gravy simmers; now she's thereTo watch it; stirs; protect, not stare;Its privacy's a spice; beware Impatience, Tattooed Rita.If it's tended, granted space,It cooks with languid, dark-lit grace;She wears her soothing, 'cook slow' face, Conscientious Tattooed Rita.It growls a secret broth tonight,To help it thicken, soak just right;It gives delicious, red delight To lovely Tattooed Rita
