Cycloidal Poems | Examples


Premium MemberThere's a Bloke In This Museum Dressed As a Cannonball

the kids are going nuts
one almost keeled over

one inquires about the whereabouts
of the large-caliber pipe pistol

one gives the spheroid
a handshake and hug

the arm like an tartarean
eclipse with a surreptitious

star-nosed mourning
mole on the end of it

one gives the projectile
a high five, invented by a

basketball player with
four fingers 

but what about him?
who is he under the 

cycloidal velvet? how did 
he get this gig?

did he expect models
draped over vintage tanks?

rubenesque ladies straddling
the missiles?

can he take the costume home?
who is responsible for it's wash?

does he put a cancer stick 
in his touch hole in the car park?

does his lady-indoors
own a rammer?

he wishes the day would end
go home for a grapeshot

that he could be elevated 
at forty-five degrees 

and sent airborne towards 
the automatic doors

Dream Lady

Saturnalia my Dream 

Cycloidal forms transmuting to the involute
obduration under duress a malleable direction
coming to nothing just the gearing of time
Spartan gates left open to a millennium of thought
three legged animals given there a soft palfrey canter
air floating fish seen and their no need water
still the rusting coulter rusts and rusts
the power such lasciviousness constant thought
why would a simple man under go such agglomeration
deracinate weak seeming silly there the confederations
let us all sharpen so freeing all thought 
fools are fools concomitant if you will keep with it
monsters lovely chimeras and beauty
entering the world of Hieronymus Bosch
let us not be reduced to the witch of Buchenwald
interweaving ourselves into their existence
