Poem: Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame - Second Coming Vol.1 No. 2, Summer 1972

[Johannes]

Browsing around the database (god bless it!) I found this

So it seems, there was a poem too with that title: "Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame", published in Second Coming Vol.1, No.2, 1972? Or is it prose? Anybody got that one?

No spectacular find, it only shows that he had the title around years earlier before the book came out in '74. Interesting.

That would be a poem. Prose is listed in italics. I've never read it...

Ah. Got it. Thanks.

Wow wow! That went fast! Now if you'd please scan the Write ... Thanks very much, hank solo! You blow me away.

Thanks a lot, HS! I liked the poem. Strange that it has'nt been collected. They should've included it in the Burning... book.

thanks Johannes and hank solo for bringing yet another obscure poem to my attention(and anyone elses that hasn't read it before)...

 

[hank solo]

You're all very welcome. Its nice to have something that some of you haven't seen before. And I just uploaded some bigger scans, and not just for roni. ;)

"Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame"

Does anyone know why it wasn't included in his book of same title? Thanx HankSolo, pretty cool stuff! CRB:)

 

[Johannes]

Very welcome here too, although I just databased myself out of boredom. Mr. Solo did the work.

It does seem strange that it wasn't included in the book.

 

[CRBSMILE]

Sorry Johannes, didn't mean to leave you out of the thanx. Thanx. I really like the poem.:)

 

[ROC]

Thanks guys.

I wish he hadn't included the last 3 lines though.

Too cute.

"Good God, I forgot to put a carbon under this paper" :D

Yes, maybe he should'nt have finished the poem with a funny sentence like that, since it wasn't a funny poem...

(Good God, I just went black! Well, my name anyway - has it something to do with the Presidential Election?)

maybe at first, they did want to have it in, then decided against it like here.
