Post Entropy: Recreation
by Elaine P

The Universe has contracted
to its original size,
a baseball of infinite mass,
then: BIG BANG AGAIN
flinging through the void
countless words of light,
an alphabet of poetry,
recreating a Universe:

Acrostic, ballad, converb, dada,
elegy, free verse, Ghazal, haiku,
incantation, Johnn, Kyrielle, Luc Bat,
Madrigal, Nonet, ode, Pantoum,
Quatern, Retourne, senryu, Trigee,
Villanelle, zahal!.

Where are X and Y!?
Weren’t you listening!?
It’s a NEW UNIVERSE!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi Elaine,
I wasn't sure if I wanted to comment on this poem, because it seems like anyone who has added what feels like negative criticism, is bashed with stern words, and thumbs down!. Very hostile environment your foggy poem has come over!.

I think your idea is genius, but I felt like there were a few errors!.

Let me start with
Stanza 2 - Your alphabetical listing was at first unnoticeable!. I went by it like it was just a list of names, then I read a comment and then it hit me!.
Stanza 3 -
If x and y are missing from the universe, I would think that the letter 'y' wouldn't make an appearance in any name!.
You also forgot about w, and u, maybe you should ask,
Where are W and X!?
I think of this more like a riddle than a poem!.
"Weren't you listening," isn't very poetic!. Maybe think about rewriting it!.
I give it a
Riddling 5!.8
Like I wrote, the idea is creative, but the poem, flawed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it is very creative and original!. It shows your love of words and poetry!. I would like to join you in your "new universe"!. Wish more felt the same!.

RJ!.!.!.you may have an A in Engl!. Lit, but she is published many, many times over!. also, if "crap" is the only thing you can think of to say then maybe you should work on building your vocabulary or just move on to a poem you do like!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah i love weird works of art!. Uniqueness is what defines art!. People who sticks to normalcy are the boring ones!. This poem also reminds me that i was once my school representative for a state Pantoum challenge/tournament! hehehe!.!.!. It's like we have to reply to the opponent's pantoum within a minute if i'm not mistaken!. It was the tradition back then, now they make it into a formal competition in schools!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's free lance!. I think it's great!. Poems Boys, do not have to rhyme!. That was 3rd!. grade!. Open your mind and think and say what you think and feal!. Put it down on paper!. If it means something to you don't worry what other people think or say!. That's what poetry is all about!. I think R!. J!. and Rickey need to get a life and quit trying to hurt people!. Fealings is what poetry is all about!. And that my boys you do not have any of !. Rickey and R!.J!. have no class!. So R!. J!. and Rickey needs a kick in the *#*#*#*#!. O!.K!. does that hurt you feelings!. Does it make you feel big to belittle someone else because you have no talent!. Play nice Boys!. You should be reported!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think it's an ingenius reincarnation scenario!. Well done as well as humorous!.

As for RJ, He must really be a poetry expert, I went back a week and he has not answered another poetry question in that time!. also he has never asked a question in poetry!. He is full of it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't claim to "no" anythin' 'bout poetry but what ever will we do without W and most of all U!?!?
I'm not fond of change but I will try to adapt!.!.!.
*EDIT: Has granny come up with a "W"!? The Whoopee format!! Hooray!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think its awesome!
free style, pome style, whatever!
it speaks clear and is very fun!.
unique of unique, 100%Www@QuestionHome@Com

Did I miss something!.!.!.a "U" perchance!? Someone, I'm sure has already pointed this out!. I love new universes and "U" probably are not going to miss it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I like the new universe!. Funny ending!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Let me say this: This freestyle is the Big Bang!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

YOU FAILEDWww@QuestionHome@Com

Nice!Www@QuestionHome@Com

As we told you dumbasses before,If you can`t be a decent human being and skip the bad comments then go back to kindergarden and learn some manners!. Does it really make you feel powerful to stomp on someones hard work!.!? I would like to see you do one percent of what Elaine has accomp-
lished!. You can`t do it!. This is why you act so hateful!. You hate your sad little lives!. Please do us a favor and get lost!.
Elaine, These people that "hate" are nothing!. Your friends and I love you and your work!.
GOOD ONE DONDI
People,don`t ever be afraid to give a decent negative comment!. We welcome It!. It`s the Dirt Bag Crap throwers
that we can`t stand!. Pure Hate Is not welcome here!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Maybe this is vanity - but, I loved this!. First for being written for me, second because I understand what it is saying, and thirdly because of the clever way you managed to find all of the poetry styles to fit the alphabet!.!.!.!.with the cheeky statement that in your new universe there will be no X and Y
(U!.!.!.where are you!?) If there isn't one - you will have to invent a poetic form to fill the gap!. Univerelai - poems which must be both about the Universe and a cat called Whoopee!.!.!.!.!.Starting NOW!
Edit - Damn, just read Reenie's comment!.!.!.I'm getting old, I never noticed the missing W as well!
R J - nothing to do with your opinion, but do they really give out A Levels in English Literature to people who cannot spell!? You learn something new each day!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
