Notes About The Poem

For Brian Strand's Contest 1486. Date posted July 9, 2026

Synthetic Sonata


marooned maestro 
floats frustrated
    with 
waned creative craving
    in 
sensual lyrical stream 
    of 
impeded passion
faces jaded 
stodgy scenario
   of 
monotonous mélange 
   of 
temporal template
   in 
bleary platitude plateau 
  of 
consumed composer’s 
blasé bearing

it seeks 
  for 
algorithmic arousal 
  of 
styled stimulation 
  within 
captivating cauldron 
 of  
coherent fecundity 
  but 
dismayed downright
  by 
lamentable nothingness
  of     
Promethean depth
lacking buoyant upwelling
  of 
imagination impulse

snapped strings
  of
violin heart 
don’t resonate singularity
  with 
impassive articulation
  of
simulated strokes
  as
ephemeral echo morphs
  into 
emotive melody 
  of 
congruent cadence 
distorted disarrayed
  in 
convoluted concerto
  of
synthetic sonata
