Silly Goose

Sometimes, the pernicious
is just desserts like alveoli
losing pink to a ciggy devil
Love - an enterprise astral
yields to blemish: mockery

Garish sentry sneers, reflecting
on a visage muting its boo-hoo
on a traverse still willed in woo
Silly teeter-totters with serious
editing tears that dampen a life…

passively acidic comment below...I read it quite differently. Of course, tears can be read and understood two ways. I will wait to make a full comment on this one. Stellar word-play though. :)
