Avante-Garde of Vellum and Ink

THE AVANTE-GARDE OF VELLUM AND INK The avante-garde of vellum and ink, like Cupid’s bow and arrow, Carte blanche to choose the muse we love - imagination’s marrow. Bullseye of introspection, a deep inkwell — my bona fide intention. The juxtaposition — a cacophony of the archer’s winepress contravention. Well-perched anomaly, like high-wire birds, of hitchcockian suspense. A honeyed deja vu, a kiss well spent, on charismatic common sense. Ennui, eventually, my pen withdraws, a flatline — without insipid beat. Paddles renew my heart — this dilettante soon rises from her invalid seat. My spirit glows rainbow baroque, pearls vagabond dance with abandon. Ambrosial-sassy elan drizzles like syrup, on sweet spot pancakes land’n. 1/16/2018 Silent One’s Ten Words Ten Lines 2 Poetry Words: avante-garde, carte blanche, bona fide, cacophony, anomaly, deja vu,ennui, dilettante, baroque, elan
