Issue, Iridescence

Issue, O Iridescence! Luminesce on the sly. Pore over, phosphorescence? Oh yes, and here is why! Students of the nebula! Empire has its cost! Best to keep it regular? That or deal of Faust! Sauced, are ye, wild warriors? Well, at times it's best. Lost and sinking? Sail azures! Tours and boors need rest. Zest, O mighty zephyr! Boreal pole, hear all! Have you seen the lost heifer? My! Io, give a call... Fall, when winter, taciturn; Sends the snow and ice; Sullen, silent, spares to spurn; Miracled device; What will avail travelers? High road, one with us? Gods of death, synthetic furs? Bile and blunderbuss! Muss on heads of wearied folk? That is not good news. O for eggs with scrambled yolk! Doom, Death, disabuse... Channeled communications? Be sure to precise read. Otherwise re-educations! Draw bead, O my greed! Weed atop the giant's mound? Zero Lost and Found? O ye serpents, hissing sound? Next below the ground... Warning? Dark fire, warming? O locusts on the air: Sudden is thy swarming? Life, ladies, is not fair...
