Fecklessly Daliesque

Likes to Dali herself up whilst reading,
assumes abstract designs will enhance
the benignly inartistic life story she's writ,
can scarcely sit through her own tediously
scripted fecklessly poetical verses moreover
embittered embellishments 'tween the blank
spaces of her once upon a failed phantasma

Very emotionally dynamic poem, Paloma. As always, your poems places the mind on the precipice of understanding deeper things within ourselves. You expressed this poem well to the MsAndraya and her students. Kudos for this poem. A gem ... going in my faves. Love and joy to you, dear. RW

Hi, I'm an English 10 teacher (BC, Canada) and I had my students study your poem (as well as some others from this sight) as an allegory. They came up with some amazing ideas, but we would love to know the author's underlying meaning. Would you be willing to share so that I can pass it on to my students? Thank you!

I'm honored, I'd love to hear their ideas too. Her life is basically a sham, she breaths tween spurious lines, living vicariously through others achievements, notwithstanding the abstract precepts of their nature. Any interpretation is fine with me, I think poetry should always be subjective to the reader. Thank you!!

Yi and wow - you don't like this woman or her ways. Nor do you believe she likes herself. Her life has been wasted in abstract designs. What a style you have - so unique and no idle reader will survive - the brain must be used. Again, I am impressed ... CayCay

Is that why that watch pendant she is wearing appears to be melting???? Out of control good Paloma. I could see this play out in my mind, which is already an abstract collection of visions, it fit perfectly in there.
