Poems about Poetry
Gesture Theory: A Villanelle
by Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé
The script of leaving the wine to chill
The script of adding rosemary
The script of simmering baby turnips
The script of echoes in Annapurna
The script of grasped palms
The script of Walter Benjamin in Portbou
The script of this windward side
The script of sardines in a knapsack
The script of dance like a circling
The script of naked shadows
The script of an oath
The script of wet soil against skin
The script of fountain pen poems
The script of wrapping the glass
The script of breathing in the morning
The script of reading Thoreau’s truism
The script of hiding the luggage key
The script of blind love
The script of the dog-eared page

On reading, in the public papers, the Laureate’s Ode, with the other parade of June 4th, 1786, the Author was no sooner dropt asleep, than he imagined himself transported to the Birth-day Levee: and, in his dreaming fancy, made the following Address:
- Robert Burns: Address Of Beelzebub: To the Right Honourable the Earl of Breadalbane, President of the Right Honourable and Honourable the Highland Society, which met on the 23rd of May last at the Shakespeare, Covent Garden, to concert ways and means to frustrate the designs of five hundred Highlanders, who, as the Society were informed by Mr. M’Kenzie of Applecross, were so audacious as to attempt an escape from their lawful lords and masters whose property they were, by emigrating from the lands of Mr. Macdonald of Glengary to the wilds of Canada, in search of that fantastic thing-Liberty.
