An ode to Vivian de Jeune. Am I being too obscure for you?

Neptunes septre did pick the tooth of Versingetorix in that fortress June

as morning dampened their endevour

to boil a little prune

and from that stone grew Ceasars limbless umbilical from Gaul to Mighty Rome

the ides of march was looming overhead

cant find my pipe and bromeAn ode to Vivian de Jeune. Am I being too obscure for you?
Brilliant!



You actually beat me to the punch. I have had the old King of the Gauls in mind for a while. Another of history's forgotten defeated. Second place is never good for the image, escpecially in war.



I guess I will have to work on my Queen Boadicea poem now.An ode to Vivian de Jeune. Am I being too obscure for you?
Well.....there it is....the best poem yet written.An ode to Vivian de Jeune. Am I being too obscure for you?
Swish! Right above my head.

Of course I am not exactly alert today.An ode to Vivian de Jeune. Am I being too obscure for you?
Yes, and first because I have to reconstruct your text by correcting you spelling mistakes before I can even read it.

I recognize a few elements, but I am not sure: Caesar's victory over Vercingetorix? But who is Vivian de Jeune? Is it a she? And what's the "pipe and broom"? Sorry, I can't go further than that. But you probably want to make it obscure.
Pretty Obscure!!

Pretty Complex!!

So much allusion!!

So much symbolism!!

Full of Metaphor!!

Full of Irony!!



Weird and Unique!!

I still, can't pick out the meaning though I got the message!!

Your talent is without doubt!!

Yours is pretty strong and could pose a problem for the average reader!!

I can crack the nuts of Shakespearean poetry, but yours....... Hmmm

Keep it up!!
