The Greenteeth Poetry Library.
Jenny Greenteeth, a mythical creature of Northern and Western England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Jenny a boggart or water spirit, is celtic in origin and every celt has a deep love of poetry. Jenny is not a fan of the modernist self - analysis free verse stuff although she acknowledges some of it is very good. Nor does she enjoy prissy, over formalised a,b,a,b rhyming. Giver her something with a strong rhythm, a good narrative or that sets a mood and evokes emotions however and she is likely to be impressed. After all, poetry speaks to the spirit and Jenny is a spirit.

Ian R Thorpe:

Measurless To Man
Kubla Khan, the unfinished poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, is something of a mystery to literary critics being not only unfinished but fragmented. The story told by Coleridge was that on waking from an opium induced dream he recalled a fantastic poem, but was interuppted by a visitor as he hurried to write it down and later could only recall fragments. The first stanza contains the lines "Where alph the sacred river ran / through caverns measureless to man /down to a sunless sea." I thought of this over the years, why was the river called Alph (or Aleph maybe,) the first letter of the ancient Aramaic alphabet? Alpha in Greek, the beginning? What did that signify? Then a medieval artist helped me out.

The Wisdom Of Crowds?
Silicon Valley internet technology billionaire nerds like to talk of The Wisdom Of Crowds because discouraging critical analysis of the internet crapware they sell us distracts us from privacy violations and benefits their bank balances. But is there such a thing as The Wisdom Of Crowds or is it just a corporate psy - op to help us believe they marketing hype?

Arianrhod Of Silver Dawn - Ian R Thorpe
After I posted "Maid of Paradise" an erotic fantasy in the style of the eighteenth century romantic poets a friend challenged me to do a set in the same sensual style. 'Maid' drew on Middle Eastern mythology while Aruanrhod is more Celtic but both are about transcendental love and the two cultures are quite closely related.

Songs Of Glory, Songs Of WarThere is only one justification for war and it is not to bring about regime change. If the western powers do not like a regime we should just refuse to do business with them.Songs Of Glory, Songs Of War was inspired by the lines In Wilfrid Owen's classic World War One poem Dulce Et Decorum Est that read ...

My MarkHow can we leave a permanent mark on the world, must our existence be doomed to oblivion withing a few generations? Statistics, Graphs and Hockey SticksA poem about the famous hocvkey stick graph and the science scam it was a frony for. Posted now as a valedictory celebration because US climate monitoring agncies NASA and NOAA have at last admitted the global average temperature has risen only marginally over the past few decades.

Sigmund Freud and the Devastation of CivilisationThe monologues of Ian Thorpe (use Ian R Thorpe in searches or you just get the Australian swimmer) are indictments of the politically correct bullshit that plagues modern life. Ian describes himself as a true liberal, a bohemian and an existentialist. Consequently he has as little time for touchy feely stuff as he has for the kind of people who tell him what he can or cannmot think. Freudian psychology is a pet hate.

A Chronicle Of Decay

July 2011 and western civilisation is in trouble. As academics and politicians try to oversimplfy the problem by identifying a single cause in reality many interrelated factors are at work. Not least of these is the fact that phychologists, sociologists and educationalists have built careers on making virtues of weakness and self indulgence. British poet Ian R. Thorpe lays it on the line in this hard hitting monologue. Poem text included.

Devil Raise Me From The GravePoets and writers used to be hedonists, Byron was described as Mad, bad and dangerous to know, Coleridge was a drug addict, Dylan Thomas a hellraising drunk many other were prodigious drinkers, shaggers, promiscuous homosexuals and compuslive gambers. More recently however poetry and literatute like so much of cultural life has been hijacked by The Politically Correct Thought Police, the righteous hand wringers who would turn all of us into unthinking automatons, slaves of the all powerful state.

On The Imminent Marriage Of A Former LoverPoets and writers used to be hedonists, Byron was described as mad, bad and dangerous to know, Coleridge was a drug addict, Dylan Thomas a hellraising drunk many other were prodigious drinkers, shaggers, promiscuous homosexuals and compuslive gambers. More recently however poetry and literatute like so much of cultural life has been hijacked by The Politically Correct Thought Police. The fightback starts here. This poem is about feral passion and rule breaking sex in the well ordered world of suburbia.

The AspirationalThis poem is a hectic anti - materialim rant written with an insistent rhythm, in performance it is a poetic earworm. Another incitement to reject convention from a writer who should have been one of poetry's bad boys except that the Arts establishment Politically Correct Thought Police do not like bad boys or individuals now.

Statistics Graphs And Hockey SticksThe case for carbon driven anthropogenic global warming was made they said, the science was settled brandishing the infamously phoney "hockey stick graph. All that remained, our leaders said was tu let the scientists loose with unproven technologies and unforseeable consequences, let the politicians loose with unprecedented taxes to tax each journey and tax us when we sit at home and to let loose the billionaires to make markers in self indulgence andtrade carbon allowances. It was a scam, the science was not settled. 2000 years ago Cicero asked the Roman senate "Cui bono," who benefits. We should always ask they same when scientists and politicians tell us they are acting in the public good.Text only

From The DarknessA poem for the vernal equinox from Ian R. Thorpe's Eightfold Year set which celbrates the festivals and season of the North European pagan year. These nature poems concentrate on the rhythms of the natural cycle, birth, growth, maturity, decline, death and rebirth and relate them to the cycles of human life.

PANTSSilly verse from the year 'Pants' was the fashionable word for saying something was no good

Abstract ExpressionismWe live in an age of plenty, when poverty is defined by not having the latest designer clothing or an internet enabled smartphone, there is a new, invisible kind of poverty. It can be seen in the faces of people who look affluent and well provided for, in the emptiness in their eyes. It is not poverty through lack of money but deprivation of those bonds of family and community that anchor us spiritually. Such separation can often lead to loneliness, isolation, depression and insanity, true poverty among material plenty as depicted in this story in verse based on a real event.Text only

After You
A hedonists denunciation of politically correct hypocrisy; a savage indictment of the self righteous, authoritarian, politically correct left by a lifelong anarchist who has rebelled against everything and is not yet ready to be told what he has to think or believe. by British poet Ian R Thorpe
A Pale Horse - poem Ian R Thorpe, music Brother Bastion
A poem of grief for a lover who might have taken her own life ... or a lament for a fantasy. Why was she hanged from a willow tree by a stream, what's important about the redness of her lips or the contrast of her back hair against the white linen? The rider on the pale horse is an obvious reference to the Bible but how can the sacrifice of the narrative voice let the woman live again. Those are just a few hints to help you unravel this mystical lyric with so many pagan flavours.
Love Like ChainsTo many people love is the thing that sets them free but to some it is a prison. This poem by English poet Ian R. Thorpe looks at how some women in particular are slaves to jealousy and wear their love like chains.

  • Ancient Rites - Guilty FeelingsAnybody who has never cheated has never been in love. Even if it is only a dream, a wish, a desire to be with someone else, if you look at your partner and see someone else's face. Quite simply the rules imposed on us only make most people unhappy. The only rule to be applied constantly for a happy partnership is "tolerate and forgive - we're all human." As for those constraints imposed by creed and convention, when the hormones speak, rules should all be suspended until chemical balance is restored. Armageddon - Ian R Thorpe
