...."the Final Toast."

"What does light have to do with darkness!?...." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Like mixing champagne miscreants Within a simile laced frosted glass Of crystalline stones mingling these Crowned guises.... Fatidities of peremptory phantasms Oracular silhouettes of the predisposed?! Rising in unison unto a collective toast Toward deceptives destiny; their very own Whisperings billowing within ceramic tones.... These phantoms of the Pharoahs final call Unto finalities masquerading opera Respondez, s'il vous plait!? Where on a blackened tie adorns this omnibus The guest of honour with such, hollowed eyes Smiling, as pressage greets them all.... Raising this metaphoric flume; a symbolic vessel To these midnight mass miscreants of soporifics Fatiditized oraculary made realities; fasicles Standing before phelonians robes of fallacy?! While as fantasias final chords begin their Beckoning from afar; this preemptive echoing Personifications, blood red rose.... Calling, afore this latter days gatherings of Soon to be forevers, predisposed; ex parte ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ....The final toast!?

Good day, John! "A final toast' sounds sad. I should be sad today, snow dropped from the clouds last night.:( But, even the snow will look lovely when the sun comes out. You always bare your heart and soul when writing; this piece is no exception. "Repondez, s'il vous plait", moi, je repond!:) Have a wonderful day! Best to you and yours. Love to you, Mikki

Deep thoughts on departing souls, John. You have a remarkable vocabulary and employ it well in all of your writes. In this poem I really liked your use of alliteration and the line about the Pharoahs is incredible. Hope you are enjoying the holiday weekend, my friend. Wishing you joy and blessings! Love, Carolyn
