FJ Thomas Poet Rhyme

Fun With Ten Words Ten Lines

Deja Vu; I believe that's what knowing minds call this anomaly. 
Another Baroque tinged ballroom boasting bona fide blue-bloods.
Poorly feigned elan for the singing dilettante causing the cacophony. 
The ennui in the room due, I'm sure, to the
 artistic Carte Blanche given the chirping dud.
It's time someone demonstrate "avant-garde;" give them an actual reason for the sneers.
So on my way out I'll loose this brassiere and with a toss add some "bulbs" to the chandelier!

01/24/2018
(It's 10 lines on my tablet :D)
Assigned words: 
Anomaly, Avant-garde, Baroque, Bona fide, Cacophony, Carte Blanche, Deja Vu, Dilettante, Elan, Ennui
