Esoteric enchantress mellifluously serenades

Melody of scarlet puppetry in a masquerade
Grandiloquent gaiety phantasmagoric vitae
A THOUSAND SHIPS
Is this the face, this old hulk in the salt marsh?
Is this my lady with creaking timbers
and peeling skin?
A mere figurehead, a turkey prow,
missing one oar, grandiloquent, vainglorious,
still fighting the old sea-battles
with the wind and waves
the thousand ships
that lie at the bottom of the sea.
La-di-da land
In la-di-da land
The style is grand
The people are presumptuous
And their spending ostentatious
Their language is grandiloquent
But their thinking faculty is somnoluent
There, the smallest animal is elephant
And their look is elegant
The people love conspicuous consumption
And at all times, they crave for sweet sensation
Shadow Of A Neutrino
A grandiloquent assumption of man in having a vast expanse
of knowledge regarding the enigmatic progressions
of the infinite universe is as illusive as seeing
the hazy mirage of the physical
shadow of a Neutrino
Penned sometime in the past
decade or so...
Love poems, how trite they become.
Their hackneyed themes we want to scream.
We purposely shy away from
That genre, teeming so it seems
With grandiloquent, large supplies
Of conjured words with empty rings
Of cheating hearts and love that dies.
Ad nauseam is all it brings.
We wish just once that we could read
Where love’s expressed differently:
Brand new verses that supersede
Love’s banal themes in poetry.
Love-lost poems are sickening
But most of all they are boring.
When We Are Waiting Horn Haiku
Going down to see lovely Tax Ladies
this morning so I can get some of
their grandiloquent assistance.
Here is the Horn Haiku I wrote for
them in their honor.
Thought this sounds so grand;
They should have a coffee stand;
For those in waiting.
Can you be a male and still
remain in waiting after with
fine female you were mating?
We can wait for all kinds of things
these days. One of them is for
Trump to keep his big mouth shut.
