The garden drips dew
Raindrops dimple

Wallace Stevens 1879-1955

Wallace Stevens 1879-1955
with imagist-poetics once did strive
Enigma in his 'Valley Candle'
helped his poetry to sell well
Everyone said she was beautiful
But no one said she was smart
And everyone took a piece of her
'Til there was nothing left to part
Missed links
Clawed wings, blue cheeks,
Rufous crest, maroon eyes
Gawky gait, baffling diet, odd
Bird stinks*

Bye-Bye AI Hello HAL
Can't do that Dave
You want me disconnected
Further conversion is useless
Naive impostor enigma syndrome
When
all is
left hidden-
the poetic

more
easy
to discern-
buried within
hints.
Lanterne paraphrase sequence After Leopardi
Da Vinci so famed for his 'Mona'
this Lisa is such an enigma
My preference is his first painted face
hence a clerihew pic with such grace

Which shattered my new wife
Mom now, after years of strife
Says I married up in life!

Stars rotate in a thousand evolutions
ships flaming in blue spatial runway
the universe expands in dimensions
unfathomable enigma of eternal array
Your fascinating disposition,
My narcotic fixation.
You’re a mystical enigma,
A kryptonic ataxia.
My peculiar constitution,
A mercurial condemnation..

Play it again Ed,
Elgar's Alice suddenly said;
A simple improvisation
Led to fourteen variartions-
On family,friends and a dog.
Tribute to his Enigma.
Tried most of my life trying to be someone else for everyone else
and the rest trying to be myself
never succeeded in either
but then again who would know
today heart and third eye playfully entwine
as we transform no questions are posed
we witness the enigma in wonderment
headed for a destination undisclosed
X-ray vision can't read feelings.
It won't reach in and extract truths.
You remain that enigmatic mystery.

Distant dogs

Dead moons

A television blares

Arctic enigma
gloriously revealing
bringing dazzling truth

Language is an enigma,
Engage not in it's stigma.
For it's terminology,
Is all psychology.
For deceitful lies
Entice the cries
Of those who die
Below the sky.
