To lollygag in blueberry veins Where solace floats a saffron whisper Across the seamless exuberant regal of some springtime announcement Like a sterile chance, remaining anonymous That’s come home for awhile Handing you some idle complacency An all expense paid trip to paradise It is then, fatherly advice Gifts that “towering VIP privilege” Taste in your mouth! Entombing grass root spores Accepting the inevitable… Ego sitting in gridlock, With no need to budget for years It’s enough to make hindsight cry With shamed faced birthrights for lack of better words Where’s the damn disgrace? Doesn’t anyone believe in pride and prejudice? Who peddles self-made skills? Inflated touch yourself materials…sheesh? Inbreeding woman’s suffrage! While the privileged play golf In their Skull and Bones whorehouse Feeding pabulum to men of the cloth And their 401(k) Incest trickles down on bacon and eggs While the fullness of plot thickens Performing a number of venues touring nationally Then…. You, come in the dead of night A touchstone of artisan wolf whistles Raising me from the dead! A hardness of Victorian sense & sensibility Savvy genus euonymus All dressed up with intended assault And I’m hard pressed not to argue Or differentiate what is real Ohhhh, the irony of interlude can be terminally inquisitive I remember Pre-Raphaelites There is no need for persuasion Motives drift between the music, nonchalantly Where something is found for internal advancement only By submitting your own sonnet Gracefully snubbing the rest of the world diplomacy & rich pentameters, speak for themselves Offering a closing couplet….coded Like some fire rich mind…touching meaning For lovers…. Shall we fondle a patient assistance program or Take that all expense paid trip to paradise You smile that alexandrine smile With assonance Shrugging carpe diem While whispering sensuously “Why not both” you ask, in your senryu way For the first time, in years…. You’ve given being, something to look forward to… “Let’s blow this joint”….you whisper in my vulnerabilty I smile…shyly, while screaming mentally….”All hands on Deck” and salute… Goodnight Mr. Heads of State & contradictory offers For a moment, the world is OURS!

I love the numerous line spaces, gives me a chance to reflect on each potent statement, and catch my breath... The wording is excellent, sure and unsure statements delivered in a style that matchs the story line... Well done, LeeJ -----------ice/ford |
