Portugese Lady

Part of the masses, another blue-bottle blip
ocean-sweeping ~ sailing blue-massive
oscillo-roaming-wind 
spinning a dizzy-spherical war ~

The appetite to be sated where a new current
ushers constant unpredictability on its menu:
gleaming silver thrashes on its thready hang

Each usual sting, brings on a singular cringe
so predictable are its shivers of alas-morass
entrenched within a genetic-evolutionary psyche…

Luffing, she swells on the blue-flowing-feel
another turn, she is riding with the armada
Dining, diving, leaving divining to the wind,
yet wielding its surprising, wispy, sublimity ~

Wow! Congrats! Cheering you amidst blest Christmas spirit, while sharing with you "... the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23 of the King James Bible). God bless you.

thanks :) well, I had one poem expelled for crassness from PS some years ago...it isn't hard to do crass (we have had 4 years of fine examples with the outgoing orange one and his inflammatory tweets etc) It's best my base nature be kept in the secret venting diary of a mad woman lol
