Avariciously She Wanted To Be a Poetess

Two Poems



Avariciously she wanted to be a poetess

Cryptic colloquial eloquent words possessed

Often elusive eschewed from the theme

Limericks and rhymes avoiding etymology means

She an emissary of exonerated poetry banned

Refused extrication to facilitate an easy read

Hoped the fallowed grounds would lead the thieves

Foolhardily challenged the spies of poetry

Used furtive and feasible ingenious loquacious words

For the myopic poet seeing past opaque platitudes

A potentate poetess unconstrained by rules

Made a prudent decision of quiescent raconteur

 

The timorous young woman without any means

Observed scant observations of her apparent world

A sense of rectitude despite the rancid rooms

Holding profoundly laud regarding the state of penury

Perhaps, she myopic to any morose situations

A genius idiosyncrasy to others observations

Reading her books extraneous to any interpretations

Choosing eruditions to edify accusing disdains

Definitively making her way, condoning opinions

The cantankerous say.

Escaping reality with ambivalent

Articulate assents by way of academic astute ebullience

Oh John, Emily Dickinson is almost my favorite poetess... Just about and I read her work at least once a week... So this is a most grateful thank you...

Shades and little echos of Emily Dickinson here, Bonnie. I have to say that I, personally, rather enjoyed the read - Nice effort! My best regards. :) john P.s A much deserved seven.

And all of that circuitous, diffuse, flowery, ornate, orotund, sesquipedalian and turgid (to cite several adjectives) poetic verbiage to explicate the cognitive process of an overly avaricious, would-be poetess? ;-) This line stumped me: "Made a prudent decision of quiescent raconteur." Do you mean: Made a prudent decision to relay formerly dormant, masterful anecdotes?

I really couldn't answer your questions and respond to your comments yesterday as I was on someones paying clock... I tried to answer as best I could on my breaks... If you have any further need for clarifications, then, let me know... This poem was written to try to have fun (first and foremost) and as an exercise in learning new words or putting into practice old unused words... Thanks for taking your time out to comment...
