Default Why Dockery?

Will Dockery is a drunken cretin strutting around a village somewhere in
the deep south. I've read his 'work' and it's laughable. Why does he
attract a little crowd of followers who gather around him like gnats and
spam unrelated groups?

Just curious.

The best and lowest common denominator explanation is that he's a
fool.

People from a small town, in the deep South, know they probably will
never be able to get away from there. So, instead of trying to get out
of that small town, they welcome anything that makes them think they're
living in a big city.

Some people will do whatever they have to, to feel like they are a part
of a culture other than their own.

I haven't read any of your 'work'... only your whines about "Will
Dockery"... why not post one here?

That's the difference between "Will Dockery" and you seemingly endless
number of complainers: I produce works of art... and you don't seem to.

Here's part of my new one, a work in progress that will eventually be a 3-4
verse performance piece with music:

Decima

Decima, aim your rod to screen
Film into the eyeless abyss
To a level in lighted mist
Tenth norn of afterimage dream
Nests of ghosts in a webbed beam
Born illuminated and queer
Shake fate infinity mirror
Glowing light child of Kaos string
Nightswim bouncing and measuring
A weird sister without anger.

-Will Dockery

The ball's in your court, Biljo... will you post a poem and "show me up"?

Simple as that... or just whine on and I'll get free publicity for /my
work/.

> just curious


Me too.

Good start, but not a decima, which is what I wrote:

"Décima is a style of poetry that is octosyllabic and has 10 lines.
The rhyming scheme is ABBAACCDDC. It is spoken, sung and written
throughout Latin America with variations in different countries. It is
often improvised.
A person who writes or improvises décima is known as a decimista."

Tell me, in what part of the USA does "screen" rhyme with either
"dream" or beam"? Or "abyss" with "mist"? Or "queer" with either
"anger" or "mirror"? Remember, in decima the rhymes have to be /
exact/. Since these are not, clearly you haven't written a decima. Not
only that, but you haven't even written anything that makes the
slightest bit of sense.

What you have created is another monument of incompetence and
incoherence -- another Authentic Dockery Production. Carry on.

OK, Uncle Blue, you do it. OB can complain with impunity,
he/she has proven her/his ability to write decimas. You
still haven't, but if Twitch can sort of do it, maybe you can do
better.

The part I'm sitting in, looks like.

Okay, but I don't see in the definition I used that the rhymes had to
be /exact/.

There's sense in every word of the poem, a Decima /for/ Decima... you
can't find "sense" in the poem, fine... that doesn't mean there's none
there, just that you can't, or won't, see it.

it's not only dangerous to encourage a transparent idiot like dockery, it's
pretty much a sin.

you imperil your immortal sin, and you're smarter than that.

Gee, I thought it was one of the most piddly of venial sins.
If Will is indeed an idiot, then encouraging him can only
produce what he refers to as "art", and certainly you, as a
member of the cognescenti cabal, have the option to ignore
it and him.

Is any sin immortal? Will my transgression span the
millenia and be remembered till kingdom come? I
think I'd like to imperil that sin; I don't think I want
any no-no of mine to be in the archives forever.

Oh forgive my impertinence and kill this sin,
supposedly immortal.

What a novel idea!

And about as likely to happen as GB trying to write a decima... or a poem of
any kind, actually.

and the right to point out to him and all the world his dishonesty and inability
to write.

i admire your idealism, Kat, but why encourage a liar such as he? he's not
interested in writing something worth reading, not in the slightest. that's not
his game at all.

Uhuh. So in Georgia, "screen" and "scream" are homophones? So it would
be correct to say that you spend your day staring at a scream? Or that
when you appear on stage, your fans all screen?

There are degrees of adherence to any given form, and a certain amount
of leeway to experiment is usually built in. For example, you could
argue that a "proper" decima must have eight syllables per line, plus
or minus one or two according to the placing of the final stress and
the rules of "sinalefa" which govern all formal poetry in Spanish
(where the form comes from). Using iambic tetrameter, e.g., is already
a departure from the norm. But departing from exact rhyme in what is
primarily an improvisational form undermines the form itself, as it
would in, say, a limerick, or in rap music. Since there is usually no
pretension to High Art, the decimist, like the rapper, has to show he
can at least knock off perfect rhymes at (sometimes literally) the
drop of a hat. Otherwise what are we supposed to enjoy?

Individually, maybe. It's when you put the words together that the
problems start.

Don't hold your breath... he'll probably claim he's already posted one in
another thread.

GB's only function is to jeer, heckle and lie, three things he's an expert
at.

You'd think, wouldn't you?

See, Ms (?) Baloney? Next, you'll see the twisted snippings and
deletions. Besides these, it's interesting, even, to share stories
with Will. I understand your sympathies, and I try to keep an open
mind and try understanding how rap is a place of experimentation.
There is no FAQ, however (well, not really).

If you don't mind explaining where you feel I've been "dishonest" and
"cheap-tricky", I'd appreciate it.

But Will didn't. And he can't.

Much easier to explain when you haven't. One word would do it.

To properly decipher anything Duck writes, you'll need
to get a copy of "The Shadowian Combination Dictionary
