Howard Kerr Poet Free verse

Gratuitous Gobbledegook

Hackneyed inane 
          and ignominious
         waterlogged waffle
      suffused sandstones
       of indistinct
    idiosyncratic  cant
       conveyor belts 
           congested with
         puerile pigments
     dousing silken
          subtle phrasings 
        sacrificed on 
             atavistic academic   
          altar encrusted 
      monochrome mists
             designed to dupe   
                gullible and clueless    
         bamboozled beings
        prone to equate 
       elaborate entanglement
         imposed on
      turgid thorns
         of rippling
         rudiments
         with sagesse
           thesis couched
                in arrant
          archaic abstruse
          formulations
            bereft  of 
            iridescent inkling
          discordant timpani
            cymbal brushes
                  epitomising 
                    gruff grammar 
                      that lesion
                         traumatic wound
                       mud clump 
                          cliché  stuck
                        in banal 
                        coinage rife
                      diamond dreamer
                      me yearns for 
                       spuming fountains
                            of pristine
                    lustrous language

Sara Kendrick April 23, 2026 at 4:57 AM So you yearn for spuming fountains of pristine lustrous linguistics, well, mostly people just use common language and grammar which isn't lustrous. LOL..We get set in our ways with non-adjective strewn lines penned. Sara K Howard Kerr April 23, 2026 at 5:15 AM Hi Sara, I always look forward to your visits.
