‘Turbulent Tulips’

Neither can
~ ‘Peripatetic Peonies’
My peripatetic parrot went to sea
where he met a perspicacious chickadee
He courted her a bit too parsimoniously
For this peccadillo, she ensured he couldn't pee
The Rolling Stones
Gather no moss
Not with Mick Jagger
Their peripatetic boss
They travel first-class
Partake of the sauce
As the globe they crisscross
Sipping the finest liquers
~ Discarding the dross
I lie awake in tossed sheets
moon sliver basking in my window
awakened awareness
ignited.
Peripatetic dreams
wander through the night sky
poking holes in creation,
letting the starlight in
so we may know
fully
what we are.
Four lines -- seven, eight, nine:*
kaleidoscopic kangaroo
leaping 'cross lagoons of blue
splashed peripatetic porcupine
who shot a quill at her behind

AWAITING SNOWFLAKES
ALONE TAMPING BEATEN TRAIL IRREPRESSIBLY HEARTBROKEN
MENACING SKY TORMENT A PERIPATETIC DISENCHANTED SOUL
TEARY EYED SHE PONDERS FORSAKEN WISH LONG FORGOTTEN
COURAGE TRANSCEND DEFEAT AWATING SNOWFLAKES TO FALL

Shakespeare found nothing esthetic about peripatetic
Kazantzakis and Joyce found it maudlin, bathetic
Dickens and Dickinson thought it alarmingly phrenetic
I’d use the word in my poems, frankly it’s asyndetic*

*denoting the omission of a conjunction between two parts
of a sentence.
Peripatetic movement impedes as I draw near to an atrocious condemned king
Probing him, in conceptualizing & equating potential
Composure rapidly decomposes, investigating potential future
Ever so sickening to these eyes, sluggish gags massage my throat
Am I to develop in any fashion of this creature?
Recuperating composure and ingesting gags peripatetic movement finds its place in
contemporary time
The words I articulate to such a fiend, “Hey dad, how’s it going?”
This vexing pencil in turgid fingers I gracelessly hold
Sorcerer's lead conjures up casuistic captions, fools' gold
My peripatetic purple pen winks at my commands
Dancing to a distant drummer on sun-scorched parchment sands
A cunning keyboard mocks me, in cast-iron briefcase locked
Contrarian bent, loaded for bear, at my Muse pointed and cocked
What with erasers missing and forever low on toner ink
It's a wonder the poetic process has not driven me to drink!
Particularly peripatetic
penguins pursue pharmacological
possibilities perusing polar
predator proboscis predilections,
predominantly picking putrified,
phenobarbital-packed perch-piece puree
packings, provocatively presented.

I wish I could have gotten a rhyme in there as well,
but that's an alliterative Pleiades with 10-syllable lines.
It's also a near summary of the latest escapades over on
the collaborative limerick thread in forums...
