Notes About The Poem

Witten for eight word challenge

Silken Impetus Opulence Mockery

Adorn Chasm Exult Vicarious

 

Silk Road

Silk Road

S      Syncretic in nature Mohamed ties silken faith
                    
I       Into punk rock's impetus and shouts from the mountain
          
L       Leaves opulence behind and returns to the basics

K      Kaleidoscope in hand he rejects the mockery of un-reflected belief


R      Razor blades adorn his face from ear to listening ear

O      Overcome the chasm of splits and dogmatic restraint

A      Allude and exult in cleansing incision

D      Doomed no more by vicarious mainstream he sounds out the road

Thank you Gregory. I seem to be very lucky with John's contest. I make very last minute entries and get rewarded. So many wishes to you as well, Kai
