R J. Elless Poet Quatrain

Decoupage Stars

Omniflage honchos disguise what they are.
An entourage won't arrive in electric cars.
The soul of our country is divided by scars.
Spun Mirage Verbiage from Decoupage stars.

Lumberhead puppets splinter society.
Knowing they subvert morality.
Playing truth or dare with frivolity.
Wholly exposing their dishonesty.

The leaders of free speech.
Alas, whose speech indeed.
When truth is viewed as crime.
In the Abyss of Lies.

A glamourous madame.
Prattled much Pablum.
Many feel she's plum out of charm.
Mirage Verbiage from these Decoupage Stars.

Gershon Wolf January 15, 2024 at 7:43 PM I like your message. Send a copy to Greta Thornburg. Don't you love her 'electric cars?' ~ gw R J. Elless January 17, 2024 at 11:06 AM I meant the fed wants electric cars for everyone. Crazy, they don't travel with them. Ha! R J. Elless January 17, 2024 at 11:01 AM Thank you, Gershon. It is edgy, sadly close to the truth. This one was not an easy thing to say. Keep Rolling.

Silent One January 15, 2024 at 9:52 AM Your poem masterfully captures the complexities and contradictions of our current social and political landscape. The use of inventive language, as seen in "omniflage honchos" and "Spun Mirage Verbiage from Decoupage stars," adds a layer of sophistication to the critique. The reference to an entourage arriving in electric cars juxtaposes the ostentatious nature of power against the pressing need for environmental responsibility.,, R J. Elless January 15, 2024 at 3:47 PM Thank you for your insightful comments. They mean a lot to me as a poet. We see things differently, sometimes. Many just Yawn. But it's all good. Keep Rolling, Silent One. Have a great Day.
