Incantations of an Entangled Pair
Incantations of an Entangled Pair
Third Draft
(c) 2025 by The Entangled Pair
It's after midnight where you are,
the show is done, the venue closed.
Four thousand miles away I read
these words that you have just composed.
"Just finished with the show now love,
I'll write to you when I get home."
And as I sit here by myself,
I'm feeling lonely,

Vaporous Rhymes
Vaporous Rhymes
Nightfall unbalanced
Dance around a ceremony fire
Thorns cursed vaporous
Body dieth slumber
Death-note written
Alacrity descends
Consciousness unbound
Screams below halted no sound
Graves unsettling
Life soon ending
Bomb fires burning
Sacrifices, unforgiving
Buried with the dead
Emptiness is limitless
Rendered to the darkness
Sins unhinged
Tormented below
Name erased from the

Universal Rhymes in Unitarian Time
If Eastern co-redemption
integrates unitarian-longing bodhisattvas
perhaps
Western peace-salvation
engages universal-belonging co-messiahs.
When highly functioning just-us
CONSCIENtious organic bodies
are also
1 eco-zone of co-redemptive dancing
Then deeply flowing peace-full
RELIGious sacred minds
are also
0-ego-zone of salvific
EarthPatriotic/GaiaMatriotic
resonantly singing
resilient dancers.
Just because relationships resonantly rhyme
doesn't mean they are always
and everywhere True
AND
Because resilient correlations rhyme
throughout reasoned time
and seasoned space
also does not kindly mean we are never
and nowhere
not amusingly

a penny saved is a penny earned
adding insult to injury, her love was spurned
afraid of his own shadow and against all odds
airing his dirty laundry happened to both Todds
the all mighty dollar earned by a chip off the old block
all talk no action and an axe to grind, said Mrs. McLock
barking up the wrong tree

Rhymes From The Nursery 1
I had
all the wealth
And I had
all the fame
I had all
the glamour
One life
could contain
I had
all the friends
And I had
all the foes
That now sit
as equals
On the end
of my nose
I had
all these things
But one message
rings true
To have
and to hold
Is but folly
— adieu

silly rhymes give me joy
Weenie waller deanie dollar
Queenie squaller, healthy holler
Poorly written poetry does not have to make sense
It can be dastardly, dull and delightfully dense
Playing with words is the mission, and to have fun
Most of my favorite poems were thrown down on the run
Silly rhymes and words I made up myself give me joy
I throw in pirates and

Wokery, no just jiggery pokery
Febrile Fog obfuscates palimpsest varnished promises..
Naysayers hoodwinked... deluded players peeling layers..denuded..
Deafening din of our chagrin...
Espoused by rabbles roused by mandarins’ sins..
Tarnished...pampered pilferers pickpocketing public purses...
Deploring the warring cacophony of citizens curses..
Ignoring the boring nagging nadir of nurses...
Corporate castles built without stilts on hourglass sands..
Placards versus lanyards..
Culprits preach parsimony from privileged pulpits..
Civic critics.. protests...pyrrhric..?
No

Short Little Rhymes: Courtesy of 2-4-2025
1.)
Laughing hard,
The tears still roll by,
Despite all the joy in my heart,
You’ll always notice when I sigh.
2.)
So,
Some days I feel non-human.
Grimacing,
My teething got me wondering,
What ima do then?
Smile and wave while my mind race,
Monday’s gone by,
And by Wednesday,
I’m driving by the tristate.
One

666 calls
Move in the Dark with animal Stamina
Annuals Be Jamming Ya,
More on the most HIgh
More Diatribe about the mote
In the minds eye
Far as my eye can see
So far they spying me
So Far the ing commotion
Bust the cone enough
Frequently adjusted
You needed me
And we needed Us
For the treatment of our animal Lust

Forced Rhymes
A whiff of my kitchen, a medicinal pill,
the side order of rain drools at a windowsill.
An utterance precedes a service; the rumble,
the window slides itself shut. A bumble
bee ricochets off a glass pane
moaning louder than our train
of thought waylaid with bacon sizzling up a storm.
There's an anxiousness trapped inside as warm
as indoors petrichor's marshmallow mood
steamed

When Rhymes are Forced
When rhymes are oddly forced
And there is no plausible pattern
Or hint of natural rhythm
I think “what was the point?”
A rhymed poem should pop like a song
It is something you begin to sing
It is jazzy like a nursery rhyme
If you need help rhyming, buy the Mother Goose book
Read her poems aloud and sing them
This should make
