Armed With Wings of Cypress Wine

~ A Monorhymed Fantasy ~ A virgin maid of twenty-nine angelic face, most benign Sought the life of the front lines her upbringing undermined... Two devilish, slack-jawed canines leaped at the cowering feline Antagonistic, their bloodlines simmering in rancid brine... Camouflaged prone, not supine a-slither and a-serpentine Amidst the poison ivy vine fangs redolent of red strychnine... Her pipedreams of bootleg moonshine no street-grade heroin to mainline Cannabis the new gold to find cheaper than a sapphire mine Armed with wings of cypress wine embarked for distant shorelines As she touched the finish line ~ vanished was the Temple Shrine

Powerfully penned; the subtly noted with awe.

A clever poet you are Sir Gershon - Sir Lancelot awaits you! What I do like about your clever humor is that it comes so naturally! Well penned. Blessings, Jennifer.

You know, Jennifer, I've been this way -- (a little humor wakes up the day) -- I can't remember when I wasn't like this, but I know that I wasn't as a teen. I was Mr. Serious. Can't imagine it now. Thank you so much for your kind words. Joy and Light, Gershon

And I'm stone cold sober (for the last 50 years). Just imagine if I were 'flying high.' I'd be a real holy terror, I'm sure --- if I didn't fall asleep for half a day first. lol. Thanks, Jenish!
