Suffocating drowning eventually,
Where friends comrades pertly, 
Sacked tortured left on vex,
Life still there never let it go!

Keenly and accepted blues,
Shadowed...

Pastiche of divine bliss,
The fluted sister of evening,
sits on her bridal bed
With troupe of twinklers,
Cheeks aurora Borealis.

Night, my sweet love
Kiss this noctivagant;

 Burning light
In night;
Calls moths
To cloths.

Moon glows
Moth woes;
Bugs alight
With delight.

No strife;
Bugs grow

Right bugs
Grass rug.

Colors fly;
Palette
Colors bright.

A Kenning

Her books
She loved;
She had
A ton.

Her book
Stack had,
Hundred 
And one.

In fact,
Tower
She’d built,
With books.

But she’d
Ignored

Of books;

It needs.

One day, 
She sat
On floor,
To write;

She bumped
Tower;
With books,
