After beguiling charisma,
damnable excoriations fixedly,
gamely, horribly, insult jesting,
kibitzing, loosely mindless nattering,

outlandish pablum, quintessentially
representing senseless trumpeting,
unswervingly vapid wordy
X-DOUBLE-MINUS
yawping zest.

If ye did not already guess from thee 
above blimey claptrap, Das English flap
doodle glib human incorporates jokingly,
kookily,...

It’s an unprecedented overreach 
which looks more like a communist dictatorship

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Venice
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: December/2012

Venice.....
of America -

"Coney Island
Of The Pacific,"

Hidden away
on the far
west side 
of L.A. -

It's 
"Paradise
By The Sea,"-

And there is 
no place
I'd rather be -

I thank God
for
Abbott Kinney,

The father
of Venice,

Certain people in our lives 
Help ease the days along.
Without them, we might flounder 
And might not seem quite so strong.

They often are unheralded
Yet all the things they do
Allow us, with our challenges,
To somehow make...
