Ri Ra agus Ruaille Buallie by $pachunka:iconpachunka:





As older grows mine anxious mind, my shelf grows ever heavy;
I've won your love, the Nobel Prize, some crayons and a Chevy,
But still the loot I crave seems not to graze the skills I levy,
There's not a rhyme within my mind that wouldst earn me a Devvie.

Whoo!

Give the man a banjo and a funky, funky cat..
He can tailor suits and major moots and live within a hat..
He's got no purple cipher and his mushroom has no mat..
But still he spiels like a clockawork wheel and here's a song about that..

Words never were for wording,
And wording not for him,
And words and hymns that never were,
Were wondering when he'd win..

So if you see a peacock,
And wonder if it's me,
Then gizz' a call upon my phone,
At some time after three..

Where'pon I'll say- Confound it man,
Take thou me for some bird?
I'll state that I'm a camel,
And I'll rhyme it with absurd..

If words were writ for wording,
And wording wrote to me,
I'd write a word that rhymed with bird,
At some time after three..

Confound me if I seize the prize or write for wording's worth,
I'll only write to wrong the right to reign upon your work,
For rí rá agus ruaille rule the rulings of thy hearth,
When all remains rule out the reigns, lo glory rules out mirth..

Spelling fixes and apostrophe thing.. fixxie.. you know how it is.

Man I used to type weirdly. :)

No, no.. I don't still do.

Tired.

How are you?
*/edit*

I'm entirely satisfied that this is a poem written the way I write poems-- technically, it's a mess, and with bits from here'n'other bits it could be an archetype of alliterative, structured goodness.. not assembled by me, of course.. but that's the thing..

Makes sense in my head..

It's got a general thing goin' on the whole way through which is only really properly poked at in the final stanza.. which you shouldn't stop reading until it makes sense.. 'cause it should..

Rí rá agus ruaille buaille-- which I believe the fadas (accents) may be incorrectly placed upon, but I don't especially care and I've no way of confirming it for a few weeks.. but meh..

It's more or less pronounced something like-- Ree raw oggus rule-yeh bule -yeh.. italics marking the stresses.. it basically means ruckus/chaos/stuff being all fite fuite.. but that a whole other Irish lesson..

Giggle at the thing as a whole and try'n make whatya can of the last verse (the four-liner).. I'd love to record a reading of this.. but for now I think the rhythm is fairly followable (it bounces the whoel way through, if some lines seem difficult to read then try playin' around with the meter yer readin' 'em with).. and I'm a shite speaker anyway.. but I'll see what happens.. I'll let any commnter people know..

I have wonderful negative oppinions on copyrights btw.. whee! :)

Hi everybody!
Daily Deviation, 2003-02-28

Daily DeviationOkay...I'm the one who chooses an older poem from deviantART's archives every week. I try to choose one at least 2 months old, a year is better, but...what about say 25 days? There is a percentage in there which I will use for an excuse because I cannot resist showing you this wonderful, fascinating poem. You'll see why.

Ruile==Ruaile in the final verse; I probly spelled it differetly in the description as well.. there be a complicated reason for the error.. but the title spelling is the correct one.. I'm just a lil' afraid to upload/edit after bad da experiences in the past. :j

So there ya go.. whoo!
And for the particular age of language I'm misuing, 'thine hearth' should be 'thy hearth'.. but I'll not lose sleep over it knowing Shakespeare did the same thing, 'cept the other way 'round.. and I'm rather fond of the chap..
I'm rather fond of this chap too.
