Traces and faces Traces of places stare on odd faces Dance and prance on the chance of a glance They chase and they base on a fragile embrace On the slightest tweak and peek of enhance. They stir and entwine like cloths on a line Phantoms and ghosts in the back of your mind. They wine you and dine you on the past of consigned One that has stayed but can’t be aligned. And you stare and you glare at the person there You smile turns to red and you lower your head Tongued tied and bare as to what to declare. And at that moment wished you were dead. They’re momentum of moment’s derailment Important and not important as the case may be They’re emplacement of subbasement encasement. Whatever the case they are based in absent tea. So I’d declare the originals original To stop the glare of the jackass stare Although the likely hood quite marginal Haven’t I seen you before somewhere? They say nonsense is a wits preserve so I hope you enjoyed this nonsense observe? |

Nonsense? - Nonsense! I think being silly is in the air right now, SY... though I must say I always enjoy the use of internal rhyme in a poem. Michael |

They wine you and dine you on the past of consigned One that has stayed but can’t be aligned. ========================= They’re momentum of moment’s derailment Important and not important as the case may be They’re emplacement of subbasement encasement. Whatever the case they are based in absent tea. So I’d declare the originals original To stop the glare of the jackass stare Although the likely hood quite marginal Haven’t I seen you before somewhere? They say nonsense is a wits preserve so I hope you enjoyed this nonsense observe? ================================= Only your "nonsense" could make so much sense. And this lil gem of your poetic crown declares you STILL the reigning king of inner rhyme divine. As well as unique vocabulary and witty, clever phrases. "They’re emplacement of subbasement encasement. Whatever the case they are based in absent tea." See what I mean and that IS rapberry tea, right? very cool write Sy-babes *ww* me It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me |
