Glorious Monster

Glorious Monster

written by: Karima Hoisan

Let’s ride our glorious monster until we all fall down.
Along the river’s bank, he bucks and kicks while we hang on.
We have built him out of words and fuming bright audacity…
He’s a fire-breathing furnace of moon struck creativity.

Hang on! Hang on!

We’ll race him against the best and even against Time.
He’s an aurora borealis of light madness and dark shine.
So dig your heels in, and grab handfuls of mane to cling.
He could toss us off a bridge if we don’t learn the way to ride him.

Dig in! Dig in!

He’s a semi- trained colossus who took the bait and ran and ran.
Who put that wild streak in, that made him crazier than our plan?
No matter, if we hang on tight, he knows some places of respite.
We can breathe in richness, catch our breath if we learn to ride him right.

Hang on! Hang On!

Let’s ride our glorious monster until we all fall down.
Along the river’s bank, he bucks and kicks while we hang on.
We have built him out of words and fuming bright audacity…
He’s a fire-breathing furnace of moon struck creativity.

Karima Hoisan

I live in Costa Rica and write poetry in both English and Spanish. I perform live poetry readings in the 3D virtual platform of Second Life, as my avatar utilizing voice with selected music, some, my own original compositions, and images I display of photographs and artworks to accompany each poem. Many of my poems have been made into machinimas (live-capture videos) through the continuing creative partnership with Natascha Randt (filmmaker). Randt & Hoisan Productions have made 28 videos together; all can be found under the category “Machinima” in my blog. I find every day in this virtual world an inspiration and I am active on my blog, "Digital Rabbit Hole." I am both published in Second Life as well as in my Real Life, in an anthology titled, "The Baker's Dozen, The Cole Foundation Collection Vol lll."
