(Poem #1427) Out of Control Once, high on a hill, there was a song Nothing was wrong, that's when time stood still Now lovers are caught, tied in their dreams Bound in their thoughts, wrapped in the depth of their love If I can hold on to you If I can hold on to you Somewhere near the end, lovers pretend Fake what they feel, take what they get from love Start missing the drive, staying alive Four out of five, without the feeling of love If the sky is fire and hell is blue If all of our dreams won't come true If the sky is fire and hell is blue I'll cover you, I'll cover you Sky is fire, hell is blue Sky is fire, hell is blue That's why I'm out of control Tear myself down, build myself up, tear myself down again I'm talking to you, trying to get through Don't want to hide, lost in the mirror of love If I can hold on to you If I can hold on to you |
Heard this CSNY song this morning and thought i would submit it. its not great poetry, but its nice. Funny thing is, the song is titled 'Out of Control', but the tune and rhythm are very serene and calm and peaceful; the words also seem very calm and measured and not very out of control - either in rhythm or in meaning. So the title doesnt exactly match the rest of it. I liked the way falling out of love is described - 'Somewhere near the end, lovers pretend'. Also the 'Tear myself down, build myself up, tear myself down again' part - describes the confusion nicely. Basically I liked the song and now I'm trying to give commentary to explain why I liked it. Can't think of anything more to write. Regards, Zenobia D. Driver Biography: http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/bio.asp?oid=229&cf=229

A discovery for me on this mailing list is the large
body of Indian English poems. I feel a little bit
like Columbus trying to find the New World and
discovering India.
How many dialects of English poetry are there?
Please keep it up. This is a real discovery for me.

Nice line :)
> How many dialects of English poetry are there?
Hm - that's hard to say. "As many as the dialects of English" would be an
overapproximation, because many dialects tend to revert to a more British
English for formal writing. A lot of very good post-colonial writing has sprung
up, though, particularly in recent generations where the confidence to speak
and write in dialect has increased.
Some of the major ones I can think of are Indian, West Indian and Australian -
not sure American and Canadian are different enough to count.
