Irony

Tongue in Bloody Cheek Cheek on tongue he slithers on abundant wilful slime Checks in with teeth of timeless throaty choking curse A serpent snail an earth worm fiery dragon in disguise He cuts the chase incises to the point of razor’s gash Knows his lingo carves positions through his acid battles Penetrates fissures of inherent gripping gashing strokes Battle critique and arguments for combat shed bloody ooze Serrated edges dribble from articulated uttered discourse Words can kill as they prepare the ground for deeds and action Follow seamlessly draped in gusts of gut and gory shrapnel Prepare the field of poppies sprouting over groans of bones Make a meal oblige culpability on cumber lands’ sickly sauce He takes the rough with the smothered smooth and from the camel’s needled mouth delivers one final twisted slaughter An eye for an eye tooth for tooth tete-a-tete and tit for tatty tat He lies in mourning finely tattered slipped from blade’s double ridge When doctrine implants demise of reason inculcates self-righteous venom Toxic spittle engulfs gloopy scum as he dies by his very own skewed skewer 20th June 2018
