Carl Jent Poet Dramatic Monologue

The Politician For Contest

The baroque politician walked with carte blanche
he definitely was a bona fide anomaly.

The crowd didn't like his avant-garde elan
as the low mummer turned to cacophony.

Politician calmly showed ennui
as though it was deja vu.

Crowd was not a bunch of dilettantes
becoming avant-garde took his shoes.

Then began ripping his baroque clothes
what happened next, nobody knows.

Silent One January 29, 2018 at 2:16 PM Great take on the contest.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest Carl.. Carl Jent January 29, 2018 at 11:57 PM Thanks for the comment. That was interesting trying to fit the words into the space. To have some sort of meaning was also a challenge, most of the words given are not used daily and the reader can get lost easy. I am extremely pleased to have placed in the contest. Take Care. Carl 'Wayne' Jent Carl Jent January 29, 2018 at 11:57 PM Thanks for the comment.
