Nauti 'N Nice

No penance need be paid by the insular artisan
admonished for seeking an oral platinum quota.
Under furlough! Tuck their perfume in a bureau, 
then intermittently release the poise to up-start
inferiority complexes who'll quote of the literati,

and then in the very same breath

naysay a quiver of emotion from word devotion…
Integral quandary - quaint ale or styled daiquiri?
Can phenomenal language fade in the simplistic? 
Eloquence is gauche! So pilings of a quay erode…
