Long Flibbertigibbet Poems

South Of The (United States) Border...
(Reigns A Welter Of Disorder)

Caravans comprising multitudinous
     peoples plodded a steady course
analogous to iron filings drawn by
     strong magnetic force
gravitational pull generated

(alternately titled: impossible mission goes awry
probably mortal enemy cast spell binding jinx)

Both mental versus
physical tasks necessitate
laser sharp attentiveness
triggered within blinks
similarly on par when people toast
momentary instance utter silence

before more'n one
wine glass simultaneously clinks
cheering hurray, especially

C'mon Gimme A Botox Smile!

'Pon bing asked by spouse, while she didst dock
and pooched herself abed

to see "handsome" pedigree dentastix

A cartridge filled with a horde of shackled emotions, am I,
Trifle feelings loiter within me, until she elicits them out,
Wizened by time, she knows that otherwise I might turn mordacious...

She was a flibbertigibbet from the get-go,
Probably from the day they brought her home from the hospital.   I think this
was intentional, no foozle on the faerie's parts as they have a keen sense...

Rhyme
is not
the be-all
and the end-all –
the cadence supersedes, mellifluous.
Counting syllables, as superfluous
as the vowels
contained in
the word

Sounds
in chants

before writing –
morae have primacy over meaning. 
Rhythm takes precedence, despite your leaning.
And forced rhymes jar:

I have a strange malady
curiously effecting me
for I am very susceptible
to words of a variety

Words like cushlamachree
or hobbledehoy
give me such joy...

blatteroon, and bombinate!
Bogged down in...

flibbertigibbeting.
Rhetoric ingrained dull;
flyting supreme!

A flibbertigibbet is a whimsical thing

Made of all kinds of magical stuff

Like cotton balls and carpenter's glue

And bits of belly button fluff

They float above your room at night

Protecting each kiddie from harm

Good thing about flibbertigibbets

About Pastimes

To be a scatterbrain is a blessing and a curse;
Jumping from play to play, immaturity at its worse.
Painting is so gripping while it’s being done,
Reading takes its reader to serious or fun.
Writing verse as...

The Flibbertigibbet


Such a ludicrous name, unto you may never have been heard;
But The Flibbertigibbet Demon, lives in the land of words.
They hide there in The Thesaurus, in front of our eyes;
Like The Devils spies in...
