poetry manifesto…or not

 

memory of menopausal aunt road raging

at unaware defenseless drivers

 

holy guacamole!  eager tongue reaching

to taste zestfully smooth inspiration

 

aghastly entangled gordian knot yielding

only to sharpened double-edged entendre

 

first thoughts bright butterfly winging

free ’til inner editor second-guesses.net

 

crystalline flute trio recital melting

winter slushy to wild refreshing rivulets

 

jealously tuxedoed orcas screaming

bloody murder at deaf penguins

 

hysterical moment when ulysses s. granting

amused moose mousse “pre-approval”

 

…in chocolate denim with shot of espresso, of course.

maybe a little too much “expresso” today…i’m a poet in the larval stage,

misfitting any specific movement, and ambivalent about a manifesto…

i simply write because i’m compelled to by an inner creative urge!

    Even if we are at a larval stage – there is so much more to writing than we know or like to believe. Loves your humor and randomness that you blend in here.

    Writing because you feel you have to, because you are driven, is surely the best reason…..!
