Macab'z Poetic Cant

.

           Slipping twixt mine dukes digits
                         hern pretty
                           moaning
                       Beguiling mine

                   her Marabou stole
                       Emerald eyne
                             Too
             hern tinted thew's sheath
                       their whence
                    Intrigues me not
                        Not az her
                            limp
                her protuberant stare
                        the silence

                          Inciting 
                 Mine noisome sneer
                             her
                            offed
                            hefft

  
* for the astute indulgerz uv this write; thanx for the visit...
for those who indulge for the guess why i wrote this: the original 
pronunciation uv Macabre, in the 1400'z by the french iz, how it iz written.
in english, we say 'macab' ...phonetically pronounced: mah cobb.
it comes from the french "danse macabre"; death dance ;)

Connie Marcum Wong June 4, 2022 at 9:24 AM I enjoyed reading this and appreciate the extra information that taught me the origin of the word Macabre. Thank you. Blessings xxoo James Peranteau July 2, 2022 at 2:56 PM ......readers, and even sum writers misunderstand or use this phrase (unknowingly, i'm certain) without including it's depth..until recently, i included ;) have a splendid Summer dear poet...much love, james
