Kim Rodrigues Poet Free verse

Wonderful Fimagery

wonderful fimagery
a fibulation of truth
a frenetic shark-tooth
puncturing the carotid
artery, artistically

fandom of fibs
will coddle your desperation,
lean into your fabulous
collection of fables, fry
the fish according to recipe

mendacious media robots
move their mechanical jaws
plainly stating the news -
the words they choose
according to choice list

listless and yawning
it’s never dawning on them
that the puppet master 
controls the strings
of jaws, eyelids and
applause

plausible lies
they’re after
laughter in the rafters
hell’s forever after

Victor Buhagiar August 16, 2022 at 2:07 AM A new word? Still a lovely poem. Hugs. Kim Rodrigues August 16, 2022 at 5:25 AM Oh yes! I came up with it when I accidentally typed it instead of imagery.

Gershon Wolf August 15, 2022 at 6:56 PM I believe that Noah Webster just texted you to check on the spelling of 'fimagery,' for insertion into next year's 'fictionary!' Ha, ha!... Good one, Kim. Kim Rodrigues August 16, 2022 at 7:59 AM Oh…lol! If Noah Webster tests me, I best have my head examined. You just have to love the “bobbleheads.”
