For The Living

Trail-blazing evolution  
paint-balling poetry onto blank pages  
words grass-hopper along the lines  
linking concepts in novel pictures  
   
magnetising Stephen King  
for summary execution,  
pirate’s treasure-trove  
buried beneath crackling sands of DUP  
   
NaPo hosting stars A+  
with exemplary encouragement  
masterminded    
with calm psychology  
   
as Magnetron spots anomalies,  
Bloody Mary walks the spittle-talk  
and an architect stretches designs  
to incorporate pencilled portraiture  
   
of history’s heroism with poets.  
Readers stand back struggling to find  
the right expression - then it comes:  
“Make Way for the Living”.

Author's Note
Comp entry for "Doppelgänger: the DUP Oscars", hosted by highlyfunctional.

I find Johnny Blaze’s poetry combines surprise and straight-talking with a sense of feet-on-the-ground and a subtle undercurrent of the ephemeral nature of things.
