The art form known as DADA
causes a few ? ? & some ha-ha
Translates from french as hobby-horse
is left field 'outside the box' of course

Scatter my dada

Scatter my dada 
Don’t let my enemies laugh at me 
Don’t let me break through this hard times 
Don’t let this Empty bottles of alcohol 
Consume my heart 
Don’t let my worries be my torture 
Don’t let my dreams be my fear 
I have been through this fires with it shadows smokes and flames 
I thought it will shape me a new person 
I have been calling for grace 
I hope it don’t take a life time 
So don’t let me give up on myself 
I have been hoping all this times 
I have been working hard all this days 
Don’t let me break in this era of temptations
I don’t need to 
Scatter my dada





Scatter my dada 
I feel alone despite all around me 
I feel like am drowning with no words 
Yet my silence is louder than my quest 
Don’t let me be far from favour 
Remember my good attribute’s when am down and tired
Remember my words when is night 
There is no sweet pain in darkness 
So Don’t fail me when my energy is done 
I was a survival with no remedy 
My past are full of the art of actions
So don’t let my life be an empty vesel 
Don’t leave me to break my dignity for vanity 
Cos this will make me 
Scatter my dada

The Lingering

follow the poolside shadows
Venus of Delphi
daughter of bitter waves
peek through the peephole
of my glaucous thorax
open your byzantine eyes and
spurn your locomotor ataxia

one glance at our vitreous hands
– a sight for blind sore eyes 
one brush of our riveted lips
– gone astray in malformations
one ponderous confession later
– immaterial as a shadow of the lash

let the weeping corpuscles lie
swarm and jostle in the grotto
rattle and blather away our days
I’ll wait for your recriminations
fall asunder under your touch
fastidious in my entomology

let the bouquet glide downstream
the scytheman is still in his kingdom
then we rejoice in endless daze
the lingering beaten with bravura

Premium Member Ekphrasis Defined Dada

the absurd
riding its
hobby-forze

Paradoxically, Wrong Time

we only wanted to be kids
not heroes.
we wanted to catch ships of clouds at the sky
not black seadevils in the drain.
we wanted lemons for lemonade
not salt for our wounds.

but there it came
the dramatic change of scenery
prohibition of dreams and innocence
he iron lung in the birth parlour
rabid dogs raiding the cathouse
curtains falling over our eyes
Mad Hatter suddenly cured & sane
Laura Palmer found safe and well
pitch-black darkness in the lighthouse
silver screen cockatoos on the loose
teddy bears in war with smartphones
hangmen having a morning espresso
moth children scared of Vincent Price
giant blood oranges with hematophobia
ballerina’s alcoholic husband tin soldier
drunk on moonshine from golden sunshine
such a wrong time to be a human being

paradoxically, we only wanted to be kids
at the wrong time

He came beating a path
That devolves everything 
That is norm

Strangely kitted 
Strangling patterns 
Dawning and hatching 
Stirring the hope
Of the unmasked kind

Erasing all dreads
Settling to rest
All that was held aloof

Dada, a.k.a.: "Cold blue hammer running red hot."

Limbaugh Mueller intrusion
Harsh fraud gangster Trump
Russian Democrat fusion
Vivid collusion 
False doughnut rump

GPS hotel conspire 
On sanctuary city impeach
Asylum California fire
Wall Pelosi dire
free speech

fake muse

Dada

i call you dada
yes you are my sister
though we are not related
your attitude concerns me
and you don't seem to care
because that's what you are
dada,my sister
that's no way for an african beauty to behave
hanging around bars and pubs
waiting on men to buy you drinks
i call you dada
that's swahili
it means sister
dada,have you ever wondered 
why they call you malaya?
change your ways dada
i urge you
get a job 
if you wanna make a life for yourself.
