Best Syllabification Poems

Like a tumbleweed aimlessly blowing in the wind
across infinitely open and wide prairie home companion land
(which wasteland famously epitomized by T.S. Elliot)
a barren vista ravages metaphorical landscape
of one measly mortal malcontent male
bumping and scraping along accursed habiliment
just barely avoiding and dodging diabolical demons
mercilessly and unrelentingly...

Shrubbery is critical for survival
An absolute emergency 
The most urgent crisis in existence
The human condition!  The human condition!  Think!
The most important thing in the universe!
Chant it one hundred times per night while chewing crackers
A chair is optional when morning comes
Contemplate due diligence, care,...

In Full Flight Her Soul Departed


To free my heart of all that haunted me
Told I, these my tidings.
... On a summer's dawn,
Fresh from our orisons, we wandered forth
To greet the waking of the meadow flowers
And peer into the crystal pearls of dew
That shrine the beauty...

Reading Out Loud...

Plus applying index finger as pointer guide
(take that Missus Wells),
who best not take objection, hence let snide
blackboard barbed comment dultifully slide
chalked up and emanating

from gentleman with pride
and prejudice toward third grade teacher,
whose archaic rubric, I no longer abide
when a student at Henry Kline,
he...

Under a dim glow
I sit alone on floor below
Me with my pillow and shadow 
With thirsty imagination
In situ, velvety meditation
Pondering reflection, concentration
Creating poesy syllabification
Articulating in conjunction 
With accentuated pronunciation...

It seems that, much to my elation,
they’ve scheduled me for an ablation,
the actual ramification
being no more need for medication.

The actual source of frustration
has been atrial fibrillation;
regularity takes a vacation
and causes a thumping sensation.

Electrical cauterization
shuts down the heart’s over-stimulation
via pathway elimination
of excess cardiac innervation.

‘Twould be nice...

Versus me 
(chilling as an outsize ego freezer)
profusely perspiring 
and heavily panting
experiencing one after another 
stuff whet dreams are made
frolicking in autumn mist
(think Maxfield Parrish painting)
while skirt chasing
and playfully tackling,
a gamesome gamine with verve
mercilessly coquettish ingenue
"precociously seductive"
overgrown Lolita wannabe.

Solitude and introvertedness
mebbe made more manifest destiny

which prime mate affectionately called buttock blaster
alimentary explosion ofttimes causes global disaster
upon such gaseous debacle run for your life ever faster!

Yours truly (humorously dry husband)
can definitively attest,
she (thee missus) nixed, ordained,
inured, espoused blessed
discrete frolicsome liaisons regarding
shenanigans Mister Phil Ander
deviously, knowingly, and stealthily wrested.

Dirty deed done...

Variations On A Theme...
of hodgepodge strewn helter skelter
wonky inviting reader to mentally swelter.

Ach'n (ache Ken and burn'n) 
kickstarting existential and proverbial struggle
me species classified as generic muggle
analogous to entertainer 
with namesake of yours truly
starring an out of world 
stellar performer who doth juggle
regarding mein kampf,...

Which late afternoon/ early evening
today adventuristic, edenic, and idyllic
April 13th, 2021
pitch perfect weather
serves as temporary tonic
to balm away blues.

Like a tumbleweed
aimlessly blowing in the wind
across infinitely wobegon open wide
prairie home companion land
(which wasteland famously
epitomized by T.S. Eliot),
a barren vista ravages
metaphorical landscape
of one measly mortal malcontent...

tanka, no tanka
just syllabification
a lingua franca
a certain formulation
in need of a vacation

hoping sensation
engaged form degradation
brought indignation,
abhorrence, irritation
and requests for cessation
