Iambic tetrameter, and not much with the sense-making |
A Randomness Alphabet-Type Poem by Besa 11.21.2005 A far ago and long away When up the sun went down one day A bit about above afore And red the grass grew evermore An aye-aye imp poked down its nose Along clouds where the blue wind blows Between before below beside The glowfish swims the eventide The moon in crescent new-night gleam And of sweet music sea-mists seem Connote convince conceal contrive So into azure lilies dive Of moving castles in the air The foolish flames residing there Derange devote delight deny Investigating by and by The king lost to the selfish girl Who broke the crystal mix-match world Esset emote evoke et tu I have done it all for you To what the when and why the where To ask how all transpired there Fillet finagle fire freeze Query and unquestion these Destroy the void, rebuild it all Create a world and let it fall Garrote git gander gable gaze A twisting deep within the maze Control the warmth, steal up the cold And blurred illusion-dreams make bold Hellacious heather hyper hum To what extent will it be numb? On whose to be these are can guess But it is neither more nor less Invent inter invite imbibe So necessary to describe Horizon in the foreground set Remembering now to forget Japonica judicial jam Defenestrate now all that am The summer day spent in the snow Of sunrise silver-golden glow Kathodos kindle kobold kite In fading ever-present night Transcendent of the deep abyss Relapsing just enough of this Liqueur library list libel The wingless angels fate foretell For citrus-scented, what grapefruit But to be false the point is moot Molasses mischief maybe mime A little spice, a bit of lime Dynastic shifting in an hour The eddies of the mandate’s power Neurotic nadir never name Forever different still the same A knowledge chicken catches fire As Technicolor sheep retire Outre omniscient orange ouch Yes too it can and also grouch A swaying jangle-shiny keys From what doors will unopen these Palatial paper penguin pin And what else silently slips in Inside and out, both mute and sing Of stuffing dishes this is king Quintuple quaver quiver quad Turduckens are a trifle odd The bramble-covered llama, ah No place of safety that she saw Restrain reduce reset retry Diverging roads that sometimes lie Galumph to gamble, push to shove Fell troglodytic squirrels above Surrounding sable silver shine And oh this feeling once was mine Our crisis goes from bad to worse The order of the universe Transmuting traipsing tangerine That teacher really was quite mean A marmotini, what to think Maybe some strange exotic drink? Upon up under ungulate Beleaguered in this vapid state The intellect knows to attain Just plenty crazy to be sane Vibration viper vicious vim What clandestine affairs of NIMH Rain drumming down on that clear day And of its gentle strength belay Whichever winnow woebegone On and on and on and on Unfeudal warring always ceased But how grim specter it released Xanthosis xyris xylophone Alas that will it ever own And see and know and understand The royal flush in justice’s hand Yakuza yeoman yearningly Unless as blind you will not see To grow in death and die unborn To live only when shields are worn Zymotic zealous zephyr zen Around about begin again |
