Best Affectations Poems

"The Emancipated"



See all the pretty words
perched on a tongue
like singing birds

Anagnorisis from 
the Poetic Aristotle
effecting affectations 

from the fangs 
a cutting
100th monkey

Sting the truth

Do you like me for my form
And my cosmetic moments
With their conceits and affectations,
Bejewelled with glittering gewgaws,
Hinting at the scents of summer,
All show but no...

pinch his cheek -
two small red spots grew where
she had crimped his
dark-whiskered flesh ...
"Now they match ... scoundrel!"

Goldie, my peculiar but beloved cat,
has certain affectations --
she prefers, most times, her own society
and shuns her housemates.
But, sometimes, she cuddles
or will join the others

Offerings all-inclusively controlled,

  consummating thirst's affectations

   eliciting truth's darkly responsive swallow

        of pretenses pseudo-poetic poison,

Having fissioned the mind 
To intercede the importunate
And petitioned wisdom inside 
Idle and dissipated 
As tremendous illusions 
pervades the soul
The unsurpassed revolt of 
capitulated distortions...

I yearn for ecstasy
A feeling profound
that makes my heart
Beat fast, too fast.
I look around the plain
so full of orange-colored leaves.
At the same time, above flying...

Of imperfection.

In dark recesses.

out and loose more

But closer home as

Glad,hedonistic lad;
Delighting in delectations,
Amusing affectations,
Posturing pretension
with ogling ostentation!

Professing pleasure seeking

Superficial and artificial;
Pleasure without measure.

Sad,sad,sad ! Hedonistic lad!...
