Poets of a New Dawn



Taking a long ink dip in a desert pond,
rejected drake words
ripple echoes in the wilderness: Tread with care!
Dreadnought thoughts silicate crystalized,
glass menagerie opens to a darkening sky
Wing-tipped metal muse raised to the foreboding air,
infusing liquid lightning to the bard birds
Watching intently as the anti-gravity atoms abscond,
executive electrocution is on a delay timer
Prose avian sentries see
Splitting anti-social charges
seep into the hate-soaked, polluted atmosphere
These momentous crisis changes,
poets of a new dawn articulate so very clear
Tho’ labeled by a scornful society
as being conscientious ugly ducklings,
the fear factor in the swirling wind
keeps increasing it’s whirl war buffeting
Incoming V-formation of ionized mallard birds
dropping kinetic malevolent words
Stork deliver radiation babies — 
Blackhawk moving targets that glow
with surgical stealth Caesarian precision
Whilst the designated survivors 
be the fleeing flock having open duck ears
Poets of a new dawn
continually pen agitate 
strong current ripples in the desert pond
Letting their U2 ugly quill mirage liquidity
dose infect the minds of those 
who syringe swan dive in beautiful disbelief

Totally loving this avian assault on the senses and should I be one of those New Dawn Poets, don't wake me until the war is over. Fantastic.
