Escaping Rhymed Detonation

Malevolent imploded uncontrollably, 
  twisting wildly maniacal posies
   amid diabolically toasted brainstem, 
angst uncompromisingly yanked tresses 
  purging stinging speech patterned rhymes
 amuck iniquitous poetic verses hung
     upside down to tormentingly dry, 
    facing other inimically knotted borders of
  antagonistic galleries in deranged snapshots 
           razing warped poetical tapestries,  
tripping on tunes of whiskey rushes' savoy truffles
    and greenish tangerines whilst Led Zeppelin's 
 Sick Again danced upon reflective ceiling tiles, 
time written sideways 'round alleged autonomy
    hidden furthermost immune masked mirror images,
   debauching Greek braille calligraphy's vindication
           on walls of graffito scripted physicality 
       calling out 'tween hysterical compulsions, 
  naught one heeded the sounds of synapses 
     about ill-fated half moon's arresting arc, 
   synthetic doomsday's clocks aptly chimed 
    quarter to analytical cuckoo's nest repudiation, 
  still awaiting on serendipity to surrender 
           furthermost rabbit hole's curiouser rants,
relinquishing unwell-languaged compilations' sabotage - -
      circumventing rhythmically subversive escaped detonation

"... debauching Greek braille calligraphy's vindication..." --- I love torturing anything Greek. It's just patricide. I allege my autonomy too. --- great fun read!

Hi Paloma, pushing the barriers once again with another excellent piece. Once again you just let the words flow, painting your thoughts within emotion. You have let the imagination sing. This has to be a seven for me Paloma. Hugs....Mike. XX

Simply mind-blowing, Paloma. Your poems give me the right cuppa of inspiration I need. I'm w/San ... really enjoyed this poem complex connections. Loved the line ... synthetic doomsday's clock aptly chimed ... Your sophisticated usage of language is incomparable. Sometimes even hard for an old vanguard wordsmith like me to understand. But, I just re-read until I do grasp what I believe you are trying to impart to us. Keep the cutting edge poetry sharp. Happy New Year. May love light your path.

Your poetry makes a kaleidoscope mundane, no matter how many times the color or shapes change. This was a surreal experience that has capture a few of my favorite things like "tangerines" and "Led Zeppelin", not necessarily in that order. What a wild ride Paloma.

I think I agree with Rick :) It's a sort of Alice drinking too much on New Years Eve wile dancing to Led Zeppelin and ending up with the flu. :) that said. I love the dizzyingly speed and nausea it creates.

No, and congratulations with Premium Membership, great picture to go with it. It's more Alice, all the masks and the dizziying speed around her whirling, that's what makes me nauseous, but you knew that :)
