a poet's words
here I am naked
a featherbrained poet's words
uncovered by rhyme
the late worm
the unsung late worm
too lazy to join his mate
slips the early bird
more late worms
the sun dries the rain
a myriad of earthworms
left the party late
fabulous fanciful fantastical fairyland
frees the featherbrained feebleminded as much as it can
fleeting flighty flimsy flitting forever fireflies so grand
fragile frail fragrances frazzling a frantic flimflam man
Stiff and strong, crucified,
Standing through the solid farm
Being exhibited as the protrusion in ground.
Hey you nightly spots…..
Who are you afraid of, an old ogre….?!
Oh … a flaking scab under an earthy hat,
Or a pair of gory eyes pinched beneath the flaring wrath…?!
How about you parents
What are you pointing out to your children?
Laughing at a featherbrained puppet,
Or may be teaching your children
The rusted statue of faun?!
You are celebrating grasshoppers!
Oh it should be….
Hissing inside, pricking his old body,
Irking cheerfully the invincible soldier!
But birds I am still wondering
About your twittering!
