Short Orate Poems

In time,
It takes but a moment,
To orate the words
"I'm Sorry",
But what often seems like an eternity,
To validate....

Immigrantis will poison our blood
Flotillis nonabzorba—a flood
Trumpcissus doth speak
And shall bear this critique
“Thou orate constantinely such crud!”...

Statues orate
snow white odes
Lilies loquate
lavender soliloquies
Alyssum applauds
with purple passion
in summer's soft breeze 
Aquamarine asps
slither
on a swimming pool
beside bougainvillea
reaching
over ivory urns
to toss
fuchsia coins.

Frail boundaries pushed until they pop 
I fall off the fence of protection
Shocked as my readers, but not surprised
With permanent loss of connection!

"Karma's a bitch", the battle cry is heard
An apt notion I'm forced to suppose
Tempting fate, you'll eventually fail
To arise with the scent of a rose

Wait a moment, what's this you orate 
I'm not an ejected noodle from the soup?
I guess it's not "goodbye and farewell"
You can just forget all of that poop!...
