Descendants of Moreau

…and the aroma dangles in the air

Slowly sifting attention away

From all that is and will surely be to come

Armbands are snipped, calling forth the next in line

Slowly sifting attention away

From the Fibonacci sequencing at hand

Armbands are snipped, calling forth the next in line

Collapsing, when confronted by the red ghost behind the door

From the Fibonacci sequencing at hand

Perils form in the mixed metaphors that are tears

Collapsing, when confronted by the red ghost behind the door

Etching rivers unto thighs—for fear’s signature cannot be forged

Perils form in the mixed metaphors that are tears

Rancor amongst pretentious veils, falsely uncovering discoveries felt

Etching rivers unto thighs-for fear’s signature cannot be forged

Ominously carving variety unto allele’s unseen

Rancor amongst pretentious veils, falsely uncovering discoveries felt

In the name of Science, detestable explorations commence

Ominously carving variety unto allele’s unseen

Under the direction of men who truly believe themselves Gods

In the name of Science, detestable explorations commence

From all that is and will surely be to come

Under the direction of men who truly believe themselves Gods,

…and the aroma dangles in the air


For Sam Peralta's Form-For-All Pantoum prompt over at D'Verse.  Stop on over to D'Verse and make sure you read Sam's excellent write up regarding this form.  It's one of my favorite forms and I think you'll find it both challenging and exhilarating to compose.  Check out what the poets have created in their Pantoums and while at D'Verse, think about creating and sharing a Pantoum of your own, as there's still time to get your poem linked up with the others.  Cheers
