Imprisoned - Jun-Jun Villanueva

IMPRISONED     (collaboration)


by~  Jun-jun Villanueva

Urbane cavalcade - flaunt in gaiety
Warbling hymns in ego - cyclicity
Jigging gracile moves in vivacity
Relishing in zest in this gravity
Kinsfolk in flamboyant fete - oh its fate?
Smiles, elation in face delineate
Like nothing's wrong makes me exasperate
No one cares? No one adores? it's too late
Recurrent nightmares peeve me in sublime
Making incubuses remorse in rhyme
Bequeathing qualm, fright and fear - death like crime
Kith and kin in laughs while I'm in grave time...


by~ Poet Destroyer

Twittering chime parade of glee
Unspectacular weed flowing trough me.
Boxed in a box like a tick or flea.
No one understands- what they can't see!
Outside myself holding my breath-
Or should I say what is left?
Trapping torment with false courtesy.
Preexisted past, without certainty.
Locked in a sanctuary grave of ivory ribs,
My life in a vault- trashed crib.
Feet lashing against my skin.
Twirling the rootless valves of sin.
No one cares! No one adores!
My prison trash coffin brought ashore.


A collaboration with * Jun-jun Villanueva

A very fun read, LInda. Some of the lines I loved were " trashed crib" and "feet lashing against my skin". You are the wizard of collaboration poems!!

Enjoyed this dual piece of poetry today. Just want to say that cabbage rolls is a staple in the midst of this province. It is a great veg food and one I think you would enjoy. You can make it rice and onion or you can use bacon or ground beef so it can be made several ways. We do not use meat in ours and bake it by adding a can of tomato soup. Yummy. love phyl
