P.S. Awtry Poet Sapphic stanza

Trying To Kill Too Many Birds

Purple, polka-dot flamingos and buzzards 
frolic near the sleeping volcano lake.  It
wakes and rumbles, crumbling the Haunted Mansion!
~~Driving me Crazy

"Failed to nail it! Poetry errors glaring!
Stop pretending poetic metric knowledge!
Clearly Dear, you're too near the sun!"--Well, Pluck you!
Poisonous Parrot!




Not for any of the contests:
(Sleeping Volcano, Sapphic Stanza, Purple, Polka dot, Flamingos and Buzzards,
Haunted Mansion, Plucking the Poisonous Parrot )


Just for fun :)
