To Miss Prit

Emersed deep in blue ink promises,
Indelible hell of double fi ligatures
strangling my every nuance,
Beauty becomes mundane, monotypical
calligraphic overkill,
Times Ariel, Romanesque in cruelty
common as dirt,
Be bold!
What is the point,
I'd like to quoin a phrase
the fox was never quick enough for me,
Let lazy dogs lie here,
Too many clever impressions made
Ascenders and descenders,
Type, cast in lead,
My words never register,
Nor pages align.

* My apologies Miss Prit should have read Misprint.

Olias.

I like the clever turn of phrase in this. Miss Prit/misprint.

"I'd like to quoin a phrase
the fox was never quick enough for me"

Nicely done, Olias.
