Premium Member Early Morning: Breccbairdne 1

Froggy is croaking
Somewhere where it’s boggy
He’s steering them clearly
A lighthouse, that froggy

Yearlings are frisky
Delightful, these dear things
But dawn is right risky
So fly, flee, you yearlings!

Morning is breaking
It’s sounding a warning
An astounding sunrise
A marvelous morning

Dillo is rooting
She’s billowed the pillow
Oh man, that’s the missus
Sounds darned like a 'dillo

Toady's exploding
A regular roadie
No stopping his hopping
He's touring, this toady

Irish quatrains with 5x/6a/6x/6a, 2-syllable end rhymes, alliteration, internal and/or cross rhymes, and same start/end word. Seems like they sort of work for children's rhymes...

Premium Member Carousel Mirrors

I remember childhood carousel mirrors,
antique, ornate, intoxicating, glimmering,  
glinting, gleaming, turning,
calliope piping, toy top twirling, shimmering.
I remember all those early years of yearning.

I remember grainy analog TV,
pallid, pasty-faced, fuzzy vestiges,
wavy-gray shadow-shades so giddy.
I remember the vapid, vacant egregious,
the dull corporate thievery of the airwaves.

I remember polychromatic butterflies,
splodgy, splotchy, wavy, Lepidoptera, 
dewy glorious mornings playing in a puerile land.
I remember wispy pastels, childish whispered chimera hopes.
We all wanted to believe in the carousel.

I remember wooden yearlings swirling,
ponies pumping, rolling, my resemblance careening,
my semblance of being aspiring in glittery silvery sterling.
I remember so many seraphs pirouetting, 
all silently streaming, mercifully redeeming. 
I remember childhood carousel mirrors.

Wild Horses

Wild horses still run
  racing off to the beat
of some distant drum
  the wind catching their wheat
in the swaying winter manes
 with their figures a shadow in open plains.

Hoof beats pound the earth
 pounding out the rhythm of a storm
where sky and land were birthed
 and yearlings were free when first born 
harnessed of late by the girth and bridle of man
 they slip into submission apart from the open land.

Wild horses have withered over the years
 as native lands are taken away
and the memory of freedom disappears
 every day in the games men play
long rivers and flat rocks no longer bend the knee
 to the mountains falling into the sea.

Ekphrasis 2000

Its 2017 and my odyssey is far from begun. 
Nearly ending every yearlings dwindling 
Found above ground without Mona Lisa's lungs.
Without air is mortality. 
Anything else is air mortality. 
Painted on a picture is a mural on a bar stool room wall. Blank faces stare beneath the counter.
As I drink myself under the taker. 
Only to arise with the power of ten thousand men—Truth be told, that’s about less than ten thousand women, infant and children.
Elderly has forgotten and our honest approach takes a step forward.
How is unthinkable. Why is unimaginable. Anger is intolerable garble and forgotten is an ancient power that is truly god-like...forgotten

Premium Member Dukes, Fops and Trollops

Hellacious howls tickle and titillate 
the trompeleil scene
 in the pastel Court of Kings.

Flamboyancy rings as the 
 fluttering coo of a rapiers dance  in the hands of fops,
through the high ceilinged corriders of castle     in the chill air 
buzzing past the ears
of the mischievous lillipitians,   yearning,
 egging on yearlings with antiquated filigreed foils.

Ludicrousity runs riot
 trolloping in fandango-clicks of hooker-red
across the quilt-stitched batten puffed blazers 
of Dukes and Pimpernels pompously prancing

 before beatific, porcelain, wig-topped dolls 
rouged and hollow-eyed. 

Chroniclers cavort in the manner of angry bees 
on spindle-pins, their stocking encased legs
 pawing at pedagogs who gawk slack jawed.

Only the puncture of flesh-framed torsos
 brings an end to the melee.


*Melee, generally refers to disorganized close combat 
involving a group of fighters.

Night Numbered

Night, drape deep in slumber.
O dream, to nightmare turn?
Multitude, legion, number!
Death, dearth to discern...

Rule of law in wasted land?
Show them, when ye stand.
Orderly, cold countermand?
Break before bed, band.

Young fools making with the schtick?
Candle, burn out quick.
Light both ends and nicker. Wick?
Bone within me, pick.

Wound in heart of warrior?
Stray, become the cur.
Dynamite, how to deter?
Blades and chimes a-whir.

Terrible to live? Oh, yes.
Blossom, O my stress.
Torment, foment thy best guess!
Who would be the less?

Ululation, ugly, meld.
Hound, bay in the street.
O for yearlings on the geld!
Bill, pay self with beat.

Fallow field in autumn? 
Rickshaw on the move?
Congregation, sing a hymn!
Inspire to improve...
