Retracing The Steps Once Taken


Lengthening the horizon, debris commences astronomically, like painted dodecahedrons magnetically induced through immediate moments of hypocritical delusions otherwise mentioned as lingering afterthoughts.

Solidification of the earth and sky, blending blue skies with the blackening flirtation smitten by the acupuncture points of the densest night. Pilfering septets from kings uncrowned. Dangling hippodromes, stretching as far as the dilated pupils can comprehend, vigilantly cling to the forgotten expressions, otherwise known as the finalization of the askance void.

Drinking from the enigmatic cup of lavender while paying closest attention to all the future steins congregating upon the smallest ledge of real estate; these soldiers are filled with the most brilliant confidence, the most exploratory brilliance of purpose even as their insides vibrantly coagulate their plasmatic contents—coloring the panorama with a unique combination of artistic flamboyancy.  Here revolve the vivid portraitures—reds, as they ascend most pleasantly from having merged and swirled so decadently with the deepest triangulations of what would otherwise be predestined to be known as plagiaristic murals of obsidian sunsets and decentralized feelings of overture; spinning, and spinning, the sensation of tingling numbness enters as would any self-respecting party crasher, even after being labeled as the man who self-loathing was first named after. Enter the roll call, the soft and ever-echoic resemblance of slow-motion verbal typography—the lasting impression, a salted wound hidden conveniently by the cloaked marauders first hailing from the frozen lands most north of where the contemporary maps fail to define. Had there ever before been a more contrived notion of perfect balance, then that pristine moment, the one located immediately before the compounding principles of exhaustion sound their toll unto the hallowed morn, light would know nothing of where the scars first appeared.  The days of the calendar streamline across the foreheads of the silent.  All thoughts careen.  All dreams and fluctuations multiply.  Every hereafter is after here, an alienated mutation, one where the tongue is far too ashamed to attempt any retracing of root causes, any semblance of recounting what perhaps transpired while the present shell we call our physical limitation lay dusted over by that most subliminal of curtain calls, is internally known only as an altered fragmentation of a fragment still-birthed once before.  We then conjugate our assumptions; each non-verbally aware of the others desires for gelid anonymity, all the while remaining reverently comatose, both in spirit and of stature. But still, we smile, for we continued to breath rhythmically.  Ignorant of the finite details and the navigational circumference connecting the exterior and interior, deeply from within a euphoric treasure trove of experience coddles us through devotional retrospection, fore the tender flesh is unable to object at the present podium when not prepared.  Therefore, only one true conclusion can be claimed:  Calamity, too, was once a blessed child, born as the sons and daughters both, of some other landscape upon some variant precipice of strophe.   

Over at D'Verse, Karin Gustafson(aka Manic Daily), is hosting this week's Poetics.  She opened up the floor for delving into the many meanings once can take into account when working with the word Trip.  I, of course, went with a more abstract prose style here, which is only one of the many, many avenues one could have taken.  Be sure to stop by the pub and see just how many different directions the poets of D'Verse venture down.

Some Thanksgiving Inspired Acrostics


Sated!!!
Tales oft told
Under pressure, with such
Flair, affective as it may
Find itself to be, the deadened nerve
In which, observation etches it’s one true mark, one
Never to ignore, one overzealous to the touch, a crutch, my
Gluttony! is devoured full.

Gradations haunt the varied steps of lost
Realms newly felt, where cursive slants control the lead
And starts to blush unto, italicizing its emphasis upon the
Varied spectacles alive in
You

You
Are
My
Salvation

Salvation
Willingly permitted
Entry to the
Emphatic search for change
That’s urge had forever imprisoned you

Pour on the afterglow, with a glistening tint
Observed as tints that sparkle
Through
All
That
Overshadows the easily ignored

Postures held
Inside, where
Enigmas now freely breathe

Breathing
Enters and
Escapes
The executioners
Severed scape

Forever
Alive,
My
Internal
Light, begins with
You

Voiced
Environs
Grant
Extrinsic
Trembling.  Here, our every
Awe, speaking as if each syllable is our most primal,
Basic to the core, yet never
Limited as is found in the neophyte, where knowledge is
Elementary, broadening each of our experiences, through
Subtleties that shape the form within

Terror is the basis for those emotions
Unknown.  We shed our skin.  We begin anew. A
Reformation clearly focusing our mental
Kinship towards all those
Elating fluttering sidesteps that
You cannot attempt to comprehend.


 Well, didn't really have the time to get on board yesterday, too much going on.  But over at D'Verse a lot of great Acrostics can be found.  The link's close for new submissions, but they are immortalized for one's poetic pleasure.  I definitely recommend  you stop on by.  Hope everyone in the states had a great Thanksgiving, and for those not, I hope your Thursday was a great one.

A Moment Painted by Silence


(A)
Serendipitous
Isolation, where
Lavender teardrops paint
Enigmas across a sprawling
Newness, shawling
Caress unto all which
Elation’s provided for


Stop on over to the New World Creative Union for the Wednesday Wake Up Call, a thoroughly enjoyable outlet for creative expression, where all the realms of artistry live in the manners they've always been intended for.  This week Susie Clevenger has us thinking about Silence.

Preamble to Extinction


Flash flood apocalypse
Obliterating ground
Celestial distances the
Ultimate
Smudging of stars

A storm emblazes the rough terrain
Shadows distancing across the oceanic plane
Transform, we do, into an
Extended
Reflection, of species
Interred—
Stripping of all that’s precious,
Killing off—
Saving traits

This..
As we move
Progressively farther
Out, away from
Unit with God…
Terminable, the lot we are…

Well, a day late and a dollar short, but took me a couple look throughs to fully digest the magnitude and power contained within the trailer for Zeitgeist over at the New World Creative Union.  This week Natasha's asked us to watch the trailer, then reflect upon it, as we are able.  Head on over to the Wednesday Wake Up, take a look at what reactions the other's felt and share yours as well.

The Variance in Perceived Direction




Softened corridors
Architecturally sound
Dream of future joy

Heavy tolls oft ring
As one lilts in nonchalance
Pseudonyms etch deep
Placating tone with rhymed speech
Yanking the chords, course aligned

Amidst Suppressive Noise


Into a kettle-cloud’s
Deafening eye,
Elapsing; scattered through,
A prism’s dying,
Shaded hue

Vision skewers
Ordinary life,
Impaling the mundane
Cacophonic strife;
Eliciting the strange

A powdered fray
Blurs the node
Unto erasure’s
Threshing code;
Severing mesh from curve

The rhythms of neutrality unnerve,
Heroic monstrosities, bred for night,
Obstructing the pristine view—
Some of darkened gloss; some armored in light,
Each, reminders of what’s in you

Explosions and facades thereto,
Detonations of slander,
Indifferent to the life you bore.
Tearstained shells, forever in wander—
Endlessly trawling jagged shores,
Delicately toed yet forever proud.
        

I was just playing around with structure today.  For this particular piece, I was going with a 25 line acrostic poem, five stanzas of five lines each.  However, the last stanza I wound up using 6 lines, as I thought edited worked better than edits. 

I also used a structured rhyme scheme here: Abcbc, Cdede, Efgfg, Ghihi, Ijkjka.
