Listen to poem:

Temporal Dilettante Journalist 
David J Walker

no-thing need not name the nameless 
breaks the morning in disguise 
shakes the shame and wakes the shameless 
quench tormented turbid eyes 
the bootless errand realized 

who shakes the hand but shuns the banquet 
a polymath of nullity
a picnic spread on follies blanket 
the argot of a fervent plea
omnifarious frivolity

dante sings symphonic anthems  
measured meters latin chants
pardons plied to paphian sanctions 
the queen retorts in satin rants 
a paupers portion the monarch grants 

bemoans the message minimalized

Another great write David. I hold my hands up and say I had to look up several words but this only added to my intrigue and took nothing away from your wonderful poem, its cadence and your equally excellent reciting of it. Cheers - Gary
