Howard Kerr Poet Free verse

Ephemera Ephemeral

Souvenirs
nostalgic 
heirloom
memorabilia 
archived
muniments
prospectus
paraphernalia
posters
sequestered

Benefaction blight
twinkling trinket
tinged trophy 
         hoisted
 himalayan  style
melancholy monument
meteoric miniscule
              flyby
verdant vestiges
viral vanish

Mayfly
transient
miscellany
evanescent
detritus
fugacious
snippets
antiquarian
bricolage
hodgepodge

Testament atrophied
gossamer gaudy 
        gazumping
languid lodger’s
meretricious milestone
             culminated
artefact assemblage
bowdlerised  bijou
moribund reticule
       abecedarian

Marcescent abstract
mileage mocker
synthetic switch
               unplugging
nomadic nonpareil
reminiscence’s
ineffable
ephemeron
aphoristic
aleatory
