Eccentric kook's reasonable rhyme zigzags

Doggone poet laureate
wannabe his index finger wags

My head spinning  
My mind twisted,
Im caught up in a propeller

He looks over his shoulder...

I am indeed an early bird, but this is not my early.

You can only see me
in colors that you can handle
in colors that you choose yourself, 
colors that you put me in,

Slaves to media hype
Feeding your numb minds
With news tripe
Celebrity Correspondence
Filled glossy pretence
Lost all feeling of common sense
In there defence, they are paid
To believe in their own self importance
Documenting lives of no consequence
Details scrutinized, laying in...

I'm so upset. What's happening to me?
Sis took me out to eat today. She said,

Seven Morning Stars

In the western Carpathian piedmont
Which my grandfathers left long before,
The peregrine falcon flees likewise
From a tableau of fresco tradition,
Superstition, and tempera myth.
