Premium Member Wordsworth Pivots

rabid bard 
perforce
binds 
untethered reins
of a supple wit 
excising 
the ornate quills
head lowered
body tilts
into commas
whittling lyrics 
through his swivet


Exception

So much sorrow and failure I see. All are shipwrecked in life's angry sea. Be it illness, divorce, rack and ruin perforce. The exception, of course... will be me.

Premium Member So Many Thoughts

So many thoughts run through his head
  Branches of rivers seeking a thread

Loose ends never gathered; perforce flung
  Far from a disheartened, silent tongue

Premium Member Pensive Poets

Perpetually praising poet's perforce presence,
particular poets persevere penniless, proudly,
people present peonies, prizes,
poet's perennial prose, poesy,
pacific, provocative, purposeful,
painstakingly perfected, promising,
poet's prolific in populace,
platinum pens poised,
paper primed, persnickety,
pensive pinnacle power of poetic peace,
and posterity.

O Vagabond

O Vagabond, of fate’s perforce,
On crooked wood, upon your course,
Daredevil of a sea gull ~
How long hast thou been standing there,
To bob on your distorted chair?
Are you, as I, remorseful?

It carries thee from wave to wave;
I quander, is your mount so knave,
To overturn and dunk you?
So trusting thou must have to be ~
To poise atop a churning sea;
‘Tis not a thing that I’d do.


Friendship Metaphore

Each spring, the source of every brook or stream
Rises from the land which has perforce been fed
By rain that falls on earth the which would seem
To return that gift, become a fountainhead 
And issue in a rich and vital flow
That feeds all life to flourish and to grow
With this metaphor I seek to realise
The interaction of a friendship that I prize

COPLA 81 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World

Bad Guys perforce ressort to prayer
They pray to augment the harm they wreak :
Should Good Guys pray

Who then assesses prayer power
Who dispenses what Bad Guys seek :
How fare the lay

All the evidence is in the genes
Just as the Earth’s in ocean cells :
Bad Guys impose

If Good Guys react by all means
Out of season all by themselves :
World’ll decompose
