Like Daisies On Stalks
Besotted winged pollinators
roistering barrage drowned
amidst general insectivorous cacophony
indistinct auditory signals communicated
intermingled with bounteous wafting fragrance
midwifed edenic floral pullulation
sensate admixture viz colored spectrum
amidst unrehearsed extemporaneous
orchestral suite bedded lambs
amorous ewe man like bleating songs
nature all aflutter actively socially vociferating
profuse living color rainbow pastiche
teeming soundgarden smorgasbord
cornucopia ignites mordent Utopian aural...

and fuel a contrived rumor hoop fully

and derogatory unfounded slander
toward one country bumpkin,
who lives in the sticks of Hick

Tommy Wagers Who Ever Dares!
Nascent thought provoking
threads flit to and fro
unseen solitary pinball wizard
cavalierly fiddles indiscriminately
leveraging outcome
silently holistic thought fragments
strewn staccoto scattershot
attenuated blitzkrieg
brain storm saturates,
par for course sandtrap engulfs,
chaos reverberates within
besieged cerebral corridor,
quotidian mental onslaught
spurns refugee exodus,
psychological ploy asper viable coping
function forgoes figurative
foothold toe tully forfeited
tenuous grasp...

Braggadocio Haint The Style Of This Whelk Hooked Sluggish Autodidact
Nay, purr seven knee, despite failing to make the grade,
this bluesy well red, duff mute
average white band hit,
hard knock school alumnus
jack of all trades master of none bumped along
pot hole cratered steep pitch
while riding the bus
bullies skewered kosher me all, cannibalized
carte blanche timid ego
brandishing exacto knife
threatening jugular, cuss
sing maniacally pulling out all stops
going headstrong for this doofuss
Embracing premonition making me mincemeat

The Buzzard
Within the common (all purpose room)
at highland manor apartments aye
daily encounter, one bewitchingly dreaded
fiendishly horrible, jeeringly loopy,
nap noopy, pugnaciously ravenous, talon
viciously wizened, xenophobic yeti, zapping
zeroing zillion zippers,
zoned Zuckerman alley bye
barred doors fate helplessly jury-rigged
sealed with plaintive cry
no escape known to this man caught
in a deadly voodoo clutch,
thus doomed to die
ugly cannibalistic, frightful,
heathen...

Surfeit Sans Sic-Squalid Spoiled Smorgasbord
Let me preface synopsis of self with a poetic epistle (hopefully such poetic license acceptable viz this non-friction category) before delving into the heart (of darkness) asper this bipedal hominid, the apotheosis sans earth, wind and fire.
Notice Hubble depleting air supply and whip lashing apathy annihilating will to live, thus forever suspending me as still thirteen and thirsting to taste and touch a youth untouched by fiery passion – so:
despite forty six birthdays elapsed
since uber cataclysmic eruption rent asunder

Pooh would Winnie

which circa 1910 encompassed
a hundred plus acres of woodland

by migrating Canadian Geese)

industrial, and residential development
