In the world of cross-cut, jump-cut, cut-up and uncut poetry over the past five or so years, I haven't experienced anything close to what this is capable of delivering, so I was happily surprised to find oaduj@obline.sh.cn’s "inkling,Big Alert - NTVI":

anti,about something else?',anti,about something else?',anti,about something else?'.anti,about something else?',anti,about something else?'.

anti,about something else?',anti,about something else?',anti,about something else?'.anti,about something else?',anti,about something else?'.

anti,about something else?',anti,about something else?',anti,about something else?'.anti,about something else?',anti,about something else?'.

oaduj@online.sh.cn

Despite the inexplicable lack of extra spaces between words, punctuation; despite the potentially straight-jacketed classification of spam poetry under “Alert - NTVI”; and despite a serious nod to some mentor spam poets I can no longer read without sinking into a deep funk, oaduj has produced the real thing: poetry that compels, entertains, enlightens, moves, and, especially, changes the reader. In fact, its very aliveness to, awareness of that overlooked entity, the reader, its tacit acknowledgement that there is someone to be talked to from the screen, that there are humans involved in the making and reading of spam poems, is evidenced in this very poem. Such acknowledgement infuses inventiveness, re-invention of the line and re-animation of syntax with purpose such that this poem is not mere displays of technique. In fact, when oaduj breaks conventional grammar, instead of leaving the page littered with the usual clever debris, oaduj forces the sense of something fresh and real to emerge.

As with anything truly new, oaduj's poem takes some getting used to, and it needs to be read with an open mind, felt first, thought about later. More than superficially novel, this poem yields substance, exposes layers of feeling and thought, and sustains associations and ideas that reward, rather than defy, further reflection.

There was no way to get the creature out without breaking the vase, so the Tin Woodman smashed it with his axe and set the little prisoner free To prove my friendliness, pursued the Demon, I have brought, as the first of to-day's offerings this Electro-Magnetic Restorer "yes." replied the dentist, "but this youngster yelled so terri-bly that he scared four other patients out of the office." infurta17azarco`n05cerduda,miniar infractor.

Suddenly they looked up to find the room filled with the silent, solemn-eyed Mangaboos Under ordinary circumstances the stern features and flashing black eyes of this redoubtable warrior would have struck a chill of fear to the boy's heart; but now under the influence of the crushing misfortunes he had experienced, he was able to gaze with indifference upon the terrible visage of the desert chief when mum's key turned in the lock, dad and daniel were watching a film on television, and kitty was wheeling mr tubs up and down the hall on her old baby tricycle.

Our first random aesthetic assbite of the new day comes from the pen of Mr. Silenced I. Boer:

This one, with its vivid food imagery, comes from the pen of Beard I. Untenable:

What does it mean?

[Spontooneous]

What does it mean, you ask? As Louis said (or was it Stanley Burnshaw?), if you have to ask, you'll never know.

One suggestion: Just keep the antipathywolves at bay and focus on the tinglewharves. Then the work should become puccinisensible very soon.

Every literary movement has innovators and imitators. The deja-vu that the reader gets from this work by Snobbish E. Thompson suggests that he falls into the latter category:

I don't know when Thompson created the piece you quoted but I've seen a poem in this style by Aisha Kiser (%FROM_USER@voila.fr) before. What a rip off!

Narrative elements are making a welcome return in spam poetry, if this recent work by the poet known only as Suarez is any indication:

Fatality was not significantly different Failures were significantly more common with combination therapy Among all trials we found no evidence for any potential prevention of infection by resistant isolates with combination therapy A totally anonymous,handleless door is spied upon by a recessed camera from above and presumably opened by a code punched into the numbered panel.Opt for a buzzer and wait.Door swivels open on a huge hinge like a hospital ward door and it's Steve in casuals saying,'Come on in.Do you want a glass of Aqua Libra?'Victoria is equaly welcoming,dressed all in black with straight blonde hair chopped at the shoulders,no jewellery and a skim of makeup.'Let me show you some are!'(Steve.)'I collect!'

His vocabulary favors the ten-dollar words, but "Loan Approval #47" by Fidel Delaney is rich in feeling with an undercurrent of humor:
