the oceangate

Poem Body

[ sound waves of scenic sunsets... fills the horizon]

when fingers stream upon the mandolin
and prepuce oleaginous from the show
nautical miles navigable, yet irascible sea
pretzels of premature iris chewy
obelisk to a nuptial rapture of valediction

Aramaic verso , trifle pronged taco
verdant tack, sultanate suchlike
sucrose suds, outrun primogeniture
invidious screed forgone of expense
sclerosis scrawnier , titular saprophytes

repress republicans; Saunders portable
nestling oak gall larvae, a shy squid
bedknobs know of this infidel, in lush forests
and injunction, the spirit of the seaside
piroques glide the reflection of mystical waters

diamond clarinets, of a clear coast beach
coastline in the native mainland, gravitas modernity
splendour of canoes to a tropical paradise
o Africa! , dare i set foot on this heaven
and see cuisines of royalty, squalid

beyond, six ravens in the tower of Charles
and constable of naval ships. in Piccadilly
a gaggle of geese, mussels between black wall
swan upping doggets coat in upper Thames
decorum of Casper the black cat, Afrosaxons

Your writing is enjoyable

I have read much

the technical aspects of
writing..spelling..I aint
so that hung up on or
care to be good at...
Word use here is like
always with your poems

If I can handle Milton
the englishman of
long long ago and his
thick volumes of works
I can enjoy much

other then to say I love
elaborate and ornate
detailing of this work...
