Synchronized redundancy,
ironed, starched,
with sharp clean hats

it's just like that

*snaps* of jazz
as one cool cat,
nods and purrs beneath beret
Adoph's youth captured the sway

of the pendulum in tock:

tick tick ticking

"I'm a bomb"

waiting for the world to say

"Do not venture there at all"

The field is poisoned by the grape,

systemically

devolved.

This one has an edge to it.

Need to mull it over a bit more, I'll get back to you ...

PS: Merry belated Christmas

It's just like me to forget the ell in Adolph.



And somehow, I knew you'd be here.

A Miracle on any street...

critique away, dear lady!

Much merriness sent your way as well! (It's never too late for that!)

I hope that next year "the field" is not judged by that grape.  I happen to really enjoy the wine, and occasional whine.   Loveya.

Your imagination is rich, fresh, and wonderfully vivid.

Love the edge!

"ells" don't much matter
when the work is as sharp as this

Happy New Year

As Capricious says this does have an edge.  I like it.  I hear a stand up bass and trumpet now and again as I read it.
