Short Effete Poems

perhaps we are effete snobs
though we fete our snobbery honestly
   
   we lie and cheat our way to A's and B's
   leave for fools those 'gentleman's C's'...

Breath 
Sticky and sweet
Like grandma's toffee,
Breath
Caustic and concrete
Like dad's coffee,
Breath
Evasive and effete
Like mum's Hennessy,
Breath
Obscure and oleate
Like a lover's lolly...

Bright flame to

 Reservoir of
	Creative joy
Now depleted
	Brings the
Dim
	Dismaying 
Emptiness of
	Effete creativity
Disheartens
	Disenchants
The migrant
Soul of Striving

Intellectual larceny
the academic elite
Immune from indictment
inured and effete
They swing their false knowledge
like weapons to maim
The truth left in ashes
— their lies to inflame

effete
    yet
      resplendent
effervescent
        svelte
         like
never -the- less
              perverse
serene
in
her 
    secret  
       depths
fermenting
the
fantastic-
          her
           essence
enters
the
   ether
     ethereal
yet
exists
     in
       imagination...

When Rome ruled the world,power was king,
A freedman proudly unveiled his iron ring;
In later years of olde,
The forefinger,the preference of the bold;
The middle by the prudent and discrete
Such dignity now appears polite & so effete;
A loop upon the littlest,show a masterful mind,
The circlet on the third,one of a different kind;
Love& affection,wed as one,to bind & then remind....

As the autumn comes by once
As a night each day 
As my morning in the dews
Then your face as the sun

As fulgent as you near life
As the effete heart beats for vastness
As your thoughts crave for passion
Then your fancies as wide as the moon

As I use my knees for you
As i solicit  to the gates of ecstasy 
To waking up in the room of colors 
Then I'd wish your day blithe and white....

Ravenous thoughts like moths eat ever larger holes in the fabric of my mind,
while floundering, evening's slow retreat into darkening dusk sighs
cold disparate release of the effete emotions I hide,
as in the ebon sheet of quilted evening shadow,
behind my conceit and feigned smile, I lie.
To all that I greet on life's broken path
I contrive sweet sentiment,
as I complete my own
deceit.

Classes on tranny and queer diversity
    universities reek of perversity

  Discrimination abounds all around
    save if your skin's black or brown

  Tuition hikes obscene, naked robbery
    flaunt luxury dorms and diners, effete snobbery

  Not a smidgen on learning or teaching in glittering reports
    just facilities upgrades, data analytics in sports

  Grade inflation boosts illiteracy ever higher
    agree or disagree ~ at least I'm no liar...

The Sahara's flaring moon
weaves sand castles in hombre dusk,
jacquard ridges unraveling down burlap slopes.

Under taupe sky a balmy loom 
spins dust into tawny gold for a sultan sun,
eroding an oasis to sate his rapture
with effete wealth tatted in the shadows
cast by white peacock clouds
floating above seedless dunes
once shimmering with emerald palms
and sapphire waters.

Unseen hands of a sightless pearl
now craft his exfoliated sheikdom
from the dry scraps of Eden....
