Long Syntactical Poems

Poetic Encryption Like Ancient Egyptian

This terror and threat to poetic clarity,
Becomes a pet rock for some poets.

Words do count for sure, but so does
Clarity unless poets put a mask on.

Encryption can be used to mask...

I never found,
myself reading.
Even before reading, 
studying a book,
that publish alphabets.
Many times I drawn, 
on the walls
and,
ragged curtain of the door,
of my so called
illegal shelter, 
those simplest rudiments,
but never I understood,
meaning of linears.

I saw that...

The Dead Essays


Today I wore all black 
But there is no funeral procession. 
So I just went to work and sat at my desk
Before piles of essays which need to be read,
A red pen in...

Said Jonson, vulgar rhyme a petty crime
Swindling paupers begging fleeting stime
Opined syllabic compress from simple mimes
Which o'er lazy, temporal lobes did climb
Simple, jingoistic rhythms to prime
A crutch to prop up ailing metric time

Yet, Nature's species...

play only for the fun d;

Sword brashly drawn from scabbard
Gilded blade with a lucent polish lathered
Burnished to reflect the availing light on each side gathered
Conversely, deflecting the pious streams pharisaically blathered

Weapon-grade mind steeled to cut through the broad discourse

In academic institutes, linguists their value appraise.

POETIC WALK WITH MARIANNE MOORE
Come read and let my voice
take you along a
syntactical line
                                  Better yet
                                  if well met
listen, make
this a unique
‘as is moment’
                                  ‘twixt you & I
Line indentation
underlines the parallels
of my verse
                                  The shape
my syllabic disposition,
the stanza
my unit of sense
in ‘sentence sounds’
                                  surrounds...
