Precious Little Porn.

Missing image
Nowadays I watch
precious little porn
back in the day
when I held the world
in my palm
when my thumb
held a permanent imprint
of the fast forward button
of my video remote
control was not an option
self abuse was
my preferred vice
like grip of clenched
fist turned my hand
into an arthritic claw
now the wrist is limp
bowing to pressures
of domestic duress
toil and strife
spoiling the mood

Over the years my tastes
have become more refined
like an ageing wine
only French porn pricks
my lax libido
such a romantic language
groans and moans grunted
with such sincerity
the mother tongue of fuck
my partner hates porn
(or so she says) and bedsides
I rarely get time to beget
the horn I feel like
I´m pressures little pawn.

Author notes

Squeezed out of the hypnopompic state earlie this morn tis a poor and unworthy tribute to the Ochsian style that has brought so many smiles to fellow poets and perusers at scarepoetry. Twas, I must append, wrought from a suggestion by Worthy Windhover .. umm .. back in the day.
Bi the whey, this piece is in no way autobiographical you understand, it was a friend of a friend of mine who...

An Ochservation. A tribute.

    Isn't that what the all say?

    Ah well...at least it's better than drugs and probably less expensive never having been addicted to either myself. My freind however...

    Thanks for the laugh. I needed it. I have no clue what the Ochsian style is so I'll not try critique this fine poem. That being said...can I pick on the author's notes?
    I also have no clue what state you squeezed out of. Man I need a new dictionary! My question is, did you mean to say {earlie} or {early} or {earlier}? Perhaps methinks, it's part of chosen dialect? Either way this one was a lot of fun.

      According to my "friend" the dubious affliction usually entailed wanking ON drugs, so alas, it appears as if: addictions of a feather, all flock together. A dual expense of self-abuse.
      The hypnopompic state is the semi-sleep-dream-awakening period of early dawn (or mid-afternoon if that´s when you arise/getyourlazyarseoutofbed). So yeah, purchase a new dictionary.
      It is a good temporal opportunity to wheezle nuggets of inspiration from the Muses - a free flow of contemplative waffle. The problem is remembering and discerning the chaff from the bollox. Good to see you so active!

    Interesting tribute to an unnamed friend of a friend, (yeah right). What is it with masturbation this past week? So poets get horny too? I thought that we wandered the forests of words not the bushes of base acts. Just joking. W has a lot to answer for.

    I liked this poem very much, particularly the second stanza, likening your tastes for French porn to a taste for fine wine matured and refined. I like the line language of fuck.

    Very cool... for want of a better word. I fear that my brain has slowed (its been a long day). this gave me a giggle that i needed to end a long and tedious day.

    Hey,

    Interesting read. I like the picture you use for this poem. For me symbolising the victims of porn paying the price for what they have become.

    Nice read

      Cheers Bill.

      The woodcutting is a relatively contemporary rendition depicting jolly old Vlad the Impaler giving short thrift to his Turkish prisoners - he eventually poked ca 10 000 of the poor bastards usually up the backside.
      In and of itself I don t find porn offensive but addiction to anything is always debilitating and senseless penetration or excessive masturbating is certainly not edifying spiritually.
      Nowadays someone with a name like Vlad the Impaler would be considered a pornstar and not a bloodthirsty warlord.
      Perhaps there is one already thus titled?
      Hmmm... Brad the Impaler.
      Not quite the same ring to it.

    A cut above old woodcuts may be why
    Nanny did not refuse my entrance here.
    My machine thinks I'm a kid of twelve
    ('cause grandkids are, promptly to deny.)

    Testing it. My surprise. Oh well.
    Sorry, I have not much to tell.

    Bo-ring. On the matter of Perspective
    in 1400's Fra Angelico, where he perfected
    perspective in his paintings, obviously
    had not yet been spread here to woodcuts,
    so dishes on woodcut table float askew.

    I have so little to add of any value,
    and finding myself out of my element
    I will tip-toe out perhaps unseen.

    All best wishes,
    Terry

      Thanx for Perusing, Terry,

      Despite the tastelessness of the subject material. My own thoughts are as I hoped you might interpret, quite akin to the violent woodcutting serving as illustration.
      Senseless impalement. Isn´t that just what pornography is to an aspiring seeker beyond this carnal image wherein our lowly soul resides?
      Senseless impalement. As meaningless as semen spilled

      Kindest regards

    It is not exactly och, but it is close, but it is good in it's own pornographic style and right. It was an eye catcher on the page for me, hence the reason for reading it, it proved rather amusing.

    gG, I've not seen the m word so cleverly and tongue-in-cheekly expressed, though I do dimly recall a little one of Beaudelaire somewhere in the underwear drawer. Neat (except for the goo) and tight and true to male proclivities of all ages, epochs and climes, despite all churches' chimes and prophecies of hairy palms.

    I put wrist ache......

    ...down to writer's cramp, but then I realised I type rather than write, so it must be something else.

    gG, this is complete wank; in the finest possible way. You have a way of referring to beating the bishop, that remains uniquely your own:

    "my preferred vice
    like grip of clenched
    fist turned my hand
    into an arthritic claw"

    The whole process sounds so bloody painful and maybe it is? Given the manner in which myths evolve around failing eyesight from when we reach the playground to when the guilt actually embeds itself within the subconscious, so that every solitary, voluntary emmission thereafter, is accompanied by a mixture of relief and disgrace.

    For something that comes so naturally, we humans are our own worst enemies. But I like that you're not afraid to let it hang loose and get it all out in the open. I'm not sure I could've handled it with as much style.

    I'm afraid my tone might well have been more 'starched sheets', 'early morning erections' and other tent-poles. The subject may be taboo to some, a bit like arse surgery - but not to me. The animal kingdom doesn't worry about it - as evidenced by the red cheeked monkey with a hard-on during my last visit to Colchester Zoo - so why should we?

    It's a great write gG; a brave write and one which is down to earth, wrapped up in the sleek, slick satin of a true wordsmith.

      Thwank You So Much, Mart!

      Sorry about the heinously long delay in replying to this great comment, mate. I managed a peek just before I slipped into cryogenital hibernation for the dark period here up North.
      Concerning the tone you might write in of such sticky subjects I must say "Sexless" proves you wrong, my friend! Your take on the beaten bishoprick and beyond takes the topic waaaay beyond the jesting jocularity of our putrid spume.
      Now why the fuck can t I rid myself of the image of that blasted simian at Colchester zoo!!
      Thanx again for your kind cudos, Mart.

    Interesting and bleakly honest...

    I find the contrast of your honesty and the reservation of response delightful. You don't hesitate to dive into a very back corner subject that is a billions of dollars a year industry. My point is....many do it but few talk about it. It being the visual obsession with an act that proliferates our existence and pervades our thoughts daily. So much taboo and so little to talk about without smirking. Personally, while I do appreciate the beauty of the human body and feel it much worthy of artistic endeavor, I feel it detracts to look anywhere but in my present relationship for sexual drive. I like homegrown porn as I feel libidic piracy plots a course for libertine marine disaster. A body -obsessed bermudic triangle where captains go down with the ship and miffed survivors board white sailed lifeboats to disappear into a mentally monogamous distance. I have seen it happen far too many times to think otherwise. But of course...everyone is different and as long as both parties are willing I know many, many that indulge in this industry and feel satisfied in such. It's a two way shipping lane that navigates between fulfillment and disaster. Personally, I like to steer clear of the rocks but can appreciate the drive to investigate. Some find it fun to be on the rocks, and even more fun getting them off, or (ahem) getting off of them.-Sole

    p.s. nice graphic. It really sets the mood for killing the mood. I think that was your intent, was it not?

      A Comment Good as a Wet Dream!

      Cheers for this excellent metaphorical treat, SoleCarryOn, and for your pertinent views on what is the driving force behind the proliferation and technical evolution of the internet. When I was a nipper there was none of this but nowadays kids are overexposed to an inflated fixation with carnal pursuits. Also it can detract from ones own sense of self if perused too religiously I believe. And anyway one should never underestimate the power of porn and excessive sport-viewing as wicked distractions for anyone with creative tasks to fulfill and elaborate.
      You caught the general idea behind the graphic. There is also the comparison of senseless impalement with submersion in industrial hardcore I was attempting to underline.
      Thanx again!

    Pressure's little porn? You are SERIOUSLY twisted!

    I do believe you wrote the whole thing just to get to that perfectly gG-rot-esque final pun! ha ha ! I also believe it was your powers of de-scription and not en-cryption I may have been lauding at the dim and distant time of any such 'suggestion' but anything that has anything to do with the return of my favourite gnostic I will happily lay claim to! So nice to see you 'out and about' my friend! Tell me the 'form' of this ditty is completely coincidental. Please! Tell me. The small symbol I shall award is not meant to be depricatory at all, merely my way of giving you 'a big hand ' for this ! Sex is such a taboo topic around here and sex is all very well. But you can't beat the real thing! Welcome back Twisted One! >W<

      Bone of Contention.

      The phallic shape of the text was not a case of phallus-aforethought, Windhover, it just erected itself.
      The general idea has squirted from synapse to synapse for a while but when I hit the homophone early yesterday morning I knew then creative ejaculation was at hand.
      As for the subject matter I presume this is more conducive for the porn-site idea initiated by Placenta if you recall.

    gG! If nothing else, I enjoyed your author's notes! I guess I am probably being a naughty girl in reading your lovely new piece, but, hell! I couldn't resist after cp's comment, I HAD to try it for myself!

    "over the years..." etc...just incredibly ochsian, poetic and magnificent to my inexperienced proberbial ears (which are indeed only eyes posing as such). So clearly a gG line, and yet redolent of all these who have influenced it...mmm, yes!

    Questions!:

    Line 12: prefered or preferred? or a discrepancy from being across the pond?

    Last line: pressures or pressure's? Seriously, both of those...double meanings I'm missing? Because you never really know!

    And also, one last note: "mother tongue of fuck". Hey...perfect. Uttered with such dave-like nonchalance and honesty but executed also with the great style of the both of you, it's great! Made me laugh.

      Oh Really? (Orally)

      Cheers for the cudos for my attempt at this hybrid Ochs/gG rendition. It was written as a quickie but it handles well and I guess it stands alone among my other writes. Thanx for the typo although a piece by dave wouldn´t be complete without one. Also the dearth of commas, apostrophes and such is typical of Dave´s tales and I must say I found this aspect quite refreshing if a little difficult to adhere to (especially with the pressures bit which should optimally read pressure´s/s´.
      Author´s Notes are a great opportunity for some prose-like poetry comments. In fact everything in collusion with a posted piece is fun to fertilise. I rather liked the category bit - emulation therapy. It is therapeutic to step outside of ones own straight-jacket perspectives once in a while.
      See you later Nienna

    Porntantastic!

    It is indeed a worthy tribute-- the Ochsian influence is quite evident, but with your own trademark word-work thrown into the bargain. A guilty pleasure indeed!

    The title and its use in the poem are eye-catching, to say the least.

    There's too many clever innuendos to list-- but suffice it to say I chuckled pervertedly.

    French porn-- a delightful tidbit to confess! "The mother tongue of fuck"-- again, HA! I don't enjoy foreign porn, myself. It's odd how atonal people groaning in another language sounds! It's a mood-killer for me, but I definitely see how it works for others-- and in the context of this piece.

    If a little quality time with yourself is what arouses you to produce more poetry, than I say beat away.

      Thanx Celestial. It s in those strangely lucid moments of post-orgasmic shame that cogent cogitating often occurs forcing one to masticate further on carnal persuasions plying the flesh with vistas reaching beyond the moribund body.
      And then you wipe up the mess.
