Short Pompously Poems

Persnickety Phoebe parades pompously
Privately, we make fun where she can’t see
We are kind of mean
Think we are unseen
But Karma comes back indubitably...

Precariously personable 
Privately peeved
Parading pompously
Pronouncing pretty paragraphs

Love lusts longingly
Hate hurts heartily
Marriage mars mercilessly
Wife whines woefully
Husband hustles habitually
Sex sells shamelessly
Politician preys persistently
Priest panders pompously
Cash corrupts completely
War wrecks wantonly....

I have written my fair share of erotic poetry,
but I would never post it here because of my use of profanity,
and I can safely speculate that readers here would view it as pornography,

Love lusts longingly
Hate hurts heartily
Marriage mars mercilessly
Wife whines woefully
Husband hustles habitually
Sex sells shamelessly
Politician preys persistently
Priest panders pompously
Religion ravages rationally
Cash corrupts completely
War wrecks wantonly,
Peace pacifies profusely.

Listen to poem:

once befriended me
i quietly held my own

her many 
so called friends
sadly
i never got
to thank her

The system aborts.
(Multiple organs failure)
A deviant art
of dying pompously.

moving floor, sailing
without a walk, looking at

The shrill voice of a whistle-
blower, mimics an opera.
I will snatch the words,
raw, from your lips. 

It was here, in absence.
Your  poesy, matter-of-factly.
Can you raise your voice
against the fall of the thing.
