The moon has groaned home;

And soon the shadow’s drum,

Resonates the rhythmic silhouette,

To the ferocious pains of the spine;

Hear the heavy throbs of the drum,

The panting steps of the trumpet,

And the singing sage of the flute.

The following fictitious scenario I evoke

Analogous to fire breathing 
puffed up imaginary dragon
(in a land called Honah Lee)

goodfella aiming to be a poet all about,

There's a defender among us, a friend who never surrenders or concedes
No thief is he, who offers encouragement to people with his kind deeds

A rapscallion, devoted to negativity, brings gloom to Poetry Soup Forest,

We love our guns.
We despise the weak.
Don’t call us Huns!

We love our kids.
We love our schools.
We love our guns.

We pledge ourselves
to the strong...

Joseph Robinette Biden
now commander in chief yay
manning ship of state
tossing anchors aweigh

twenty one marks his first full...

GOODLUCK 

Gutless muffled monarch wooed millions to the poll,
Oozing pathetic speech of poverty (I once had no shoes) 
On congruent grounds we let him, though we hated his coterie.
Disappointed, we wail, waiting substitute to end...

a tsunami catapulted cruising skiff
skyward landing with quiet thud
across undulating infinite granular waves
formerly solid state rocks and minerals

optimism vibrant upon initial unforeseen
crash asper for test dummies
foundered as undertow fostered diminishing hope
initial faith for survival quickly...

We peep through grated beams in the dark confines, 
Kept in chains by the  tyranny  of audacious  jailers,

Whispering when quiet in his ear
And it spoke to him of evil things

Again these men comes to mind,
Paid to say yes and nay,
Lame duck,

Canker, queer rapscallion minds
Incorrigible,
Political impostors detached from the humdrum of street cries
Maggots in honor
Damp squib temples of legislators
Dishonorable honorable,
Rotund circles of rascals
Fellows fit for...

In which one feels like an addict on methadone

required exhaustively to sport
fretfully clinging to each moment
after downing a quart of port
poured by Norwegian bachelor

I've dabbled in the written word
Fighting to be heard
Sharing my pain for years
Doing my best to hide my tears
The days in a dark haze
Mired in malicious malaise
But hey, I'm still alive
And boy do I strive
To...

Idlers, paved  paths with active energies, purloining,  feigning amity.

Dodgy &  concealing past immoral dregs  by comradely, waspish mien.
