Put pen to paper and churn out an ode....

Poor accused there is always parallax
     he's always guilty  no other syntax
     for  rich the law is mollis
     rich are always flawless

My word tigers I train with chair in hand
and meter's whip. Good syntax I require,
true spelling, decent rhythm - I demand
they jump iambically through hoops of fire.

destroying the syntax
of the intelligent soul
sacrificial rites of intellect
sacramentals of exorcism
packs of savaged dogs
roaming the streets of truth
spring is the pleasant
brother of winter
where is the demon...

'IF' the word of choice
for 'US' to be the most
separated by options

an illusion for confusion
removes the mind
and blocks the Soul

How many lovers stumble
,broken syntax in motion
a bruise makes the heart

...humble!

A tribal kill; 
after a blood sucking 
ritual.
Do you have a problem ?

*

Hovering wasps 
will land at will, on 
tardy syntax 
and misspelt masks.

*

The clouds 
have wit and intelligence.
Will drop rains 
on venoms.

With each tick of the second hand
  the immeasurable on trial

Imagination deposed
  all parameters set free

The Poets acquitted
  the logicians suicidal

All reference and syntax
  —imploding at light speed

Hatchery of Verses

Rainbow soaks the nib of pen
In the solitude of the den
Metaphors vie to escape shell 
In that wonderful virgin dell
Cultivate syntax, in that hour
In the secret, sovereign bower
Leis of verses propagate
With fragrance fill my plate...

I sat down and rowed back in time
down streams of my own poetry
to moments when words rushed like the sea
when syntax broke free like 
days when thoughts broke like a new spring
and each line like a song to sing
i hope this journey never endS
I'm so happy, I'm overwhelmed....

My wastebasket overflows
                           with aborted attempts,
Lines that I cannot rhyme
                           and syntax that limps.

Suspended moments between the lines,
my mind now lost in space

Sublimated syntax buried deep,
my spirit free to race

A light unfiltered, the sound of horns,
my body starts to rise

The ink is calling, my pen in hand,
new words at last—arrive

A jazz musician
wonders back
to his days at the keyboard…
each note over practiced
until melody pure
and magic releases

A poet in laurels
wonders back
to his primers and notepads…
each word placed in order
until imagery calls
—and syntax digresses

Coming over here
to find me, in abstract meaning ?
    I was very much there in your eyes.

        *

    A ghost appears
on your lips, when you explore
    the silence of the road.

         *

     Learning the grammar
without prepositions; how will
     you reach my words.

A Galactic Prose of Words 

Galactic is my sum of life
Voluminous treks without the strife
Didactic how my teacher taught
To use the words that I have sought
In proper syntax to speak right
Continue on the Milky way
a Galaxy of words to say

tracing lines on the syntax
          grammar cascades down resonant folds

hand over hand
   mishandled hands lost grip on the handholds

travelling through time diagonally and sideways

found by no one for infinity of days
                                  lost for never 
yet at the same time always

GONE...

Poets once spoke with a divine tongue 
Igniting our embers buried down deep 
Touching each soul willing to hearken 
Some having power to make angels’ weep

Cast in their shadows, few poets still write
Our words now differ, the message the same
We speak of love, truth and the majesty of life
Using syntax and wordplay our greatest fame...

Ana has a secret.
Her body like a slippery corner
hurtful eyes
you can’t know
if she comes or goes
Ana has a secret.
What a sensitive conscience
mute hands don’t move
hair that flutters around her
from east to west
Ana has a secret.
Only the necessary word
and it’s slow
breaking up syntax
Ana a has…
a has Ana secret
secret…
silence...

Every calibration I do,
Blur to emerge the one weirdo.
Every navigate does syntax,
Oh, so higher at parallax.

I creep with my scornful envy,
And I know why they do beauty?
Because of an anticlimax,
Oh, so higher at parallax.

All gassing awkward in my brain,
Forever missing you the green.
Fill in my cephalothorax,
Oh, so higher at parallax....

SEXY SYNTAX and vanishing verbs
    by V. Anderson-Throop

Syntax , syntax
I love you.
From your by to your through.
Syntax ,syntax
You are lost--
Like a letter in the post.
When I scream to find you there
I just look to from and where

 Verbs tried grabbing my delight--
 lost agreement gave me fright.

Alas, true lovers of fair words
Long return for horse and swords....
