Glitterati, Literati

Could they find a common ground?

Glitterati to Literati

 

We frolic in our golden globe

In fancy fur and luxe leather

We smugly strut on red carpet

You saunter on carroty leaves

Veiling your philandering

Under covers of literature

No time to dye your silver strings

You string words in abject loneliness

Making others live the life you can’t.

  

Literati to Glitterati 

 

Our words illuminate the way

Beyond the glittery ramp you walk

We in blissful silence produce

Words that lull, elate, alarm, induce

You don changing faces nightly

Masking your eccentricities

With tint, scent, tinsel, ploy aplenty

Fearing no company, but yours

You live a life you do not own.

One of my favorite of your many wonderful poetic pairs, maybe because it's easy to understand, and definitely because it's clever dialogue. This would have taken my ink pot of the day!

[Blossom]

Thanks, dear Roland. You were one of the first few jotters who noticed that I had created a new style. And careful, comrade, for the wounds from being on a ship that capsized are still fresh, so terms like ink of the day made my heart skip a beat or two . . . could be three!;-)

[Roland Petrov]

This ship hasn't sunk yet, it isn't even listing, but someone appears to have fallen overboard. I'm hoping she has been plucked from the waves and can rejoin us soon.

[Blossom]

Yes, she fell overboard, but a friend's sturdy arms pulled her back--just in time! :-)
Ta much for the concern. Posting a new haiku collection right away!

[Roses]

This is an inspired concept, and I rather like it. Being critical, the first poem/stanza is stronger - I fear the second one suffers from the ''and more''s you use, but you can alter that. Really like the last three lines of the first poem: 'No time to dye your silver strings/ You string words in abject loneliness/ Making others live the life you can’t.'

[Blossom]

Thanks, Roses, for reading and offering suggestion. I have wittingly used the 'and more' in the second one and again, for impact, repeated it. Let me mull over it and if convinced, I'll edit.
Also, thanks for picking your favourite part.

[Blossom]

You win! 'And more' is no more! ;-)

You live a life you do not own...that's so true for people who always live a life watching others. Great wrote!

[Blossom]

Thanks for appreciating, Skyfall27. :-)
