Alabaster Salamanders

Salamander masters with alabaster blasters flap wings of disaster amidst

amassed raps and rapture

Lap the lap of lapsed taps and capture the art of lost math

Arrhythmic slashed

 I get it...

 I'm crass grass gashing all who pass

Rash and unabashed

Flash of molestation

Illustrations of automatic atomization

Sodomization of aberration 

Realization that poems written for nations slip through like brass lesions 

Crack cracked up like pixie dust

Glitter lust

Hidden dance 

All dried up

Hi Silente, You have such an interesting way of writing. Such an incredible way with imagery. Now, I am going to admit, I do not understand some of your poetry, but I love the rhythm of your poems. You write very much like my oldest son. He too, is much smarter than I, lol, or we just have different forms of writing. He is not on this site, but I think he would like your writing as well.

[apennylate]

Hii, Mary, that is wonderful to hear about your son, will have to share a piece of his with me at some point... I will share a secret, I do not understand some of my poetry... So I think it is safe to say we are all intelligent creatures... Thanks so much for the thoughtful review...

[MaryKC]

You have a good sense of humor! Ok, sounds good to me, we are all smart!

[apennylate]

Haha, well thank you again, I am not sure how to handle the cascade of praise... But I will most def' jump on the "all are smart" boat... Except dum-dums, they are not so smart...

[MaryKC]

Nope, those suckers are pretty stupid! And yes, I know I'm not funny because both of my sons let me know all the time. Except I think I'm hilarious.

[apennylate]

Who am I to argue, since you all ready know... Haha, except I think we all find a certain hilarity within ourselves... At least that's all that counts...

[Coyote Poetry]

Amazing use of words. You made the reader fall into your strong statements. I liked the flow of thoughts leading to honest ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Much thanks, CP, your strong insight, and flow with honest wording make for an excellent review...

[Coyote Poetry]

Was my pleasure to read your work and you are welcome.

[Ruth]

Sometimes the words are felt more than read, in my case...whatever shades remain hidden after that linger in my mind to absorb and dwell on :) Awesome piece and I like the way you write...uniquely you and your own voice, awesome flow and thrilling...

[apennylate]

What a thoughtful line or two... Thank you, Ruth, always a pleasure to hear from you...

[MsJewel]

I love the rhyme and rhythm to your words - so very creative. You are unique and such a pleasure to read! Julie

[apennylate]

I love your unique and pleasure to read reviews... Thank you...

[Kesha]

I really liked this, could almost hear somebody rapping this in the background, wonderfully written,, my favorite line was:

Realization that poems written for nations slip through like brass lesions

That one really stuck with me, nicely done!

[apennylate]

That line was a puzzler for me, went through a few iterations, so glad its final destination amused you... Thanks, Kesha...

[Kesha]

You're very welcome!

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I dried up too after reading this lol jk :p
This was cool, Silente. The art of lost math made me laugh haha
Superb flow. And I love your use of rhyming here. This def had a beat going in my head ;P
In your words, maddeningly penned haha :P ;P

[apennylate]

Thanks, Yum... Cool to hear it inspired the opposite of fear... I appreciate your emulation of my review style, as well... Brilliantly reviewed... Haha

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hmm here I am wondering, why would one be fearful of this writing.. :p
You're welcome. Oh and I've been wondering about your pen name too which is kinda interesting ;P ;)

[apennylate]

Opposite of fear would imply... Courage...? So I guess I missed my mark in implying that laughter is the opposite of fear... My pen name is a name I came up with during a... Less than happy time in my life... It just means to imply that the "e" after "Silente" is... Silent... Hopefully that sates your curiosity... Heh

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Ahh well I'll bear that in mind from now on 😉
And that's pretty cool on your part and dumb on my part lol since I've been saying it phonetically wrong all this time as 'Silent - ay' haha so I'll keep it in mind too 😛😛
It does sates my curiosity a little 😉😛

[apennylate]

Lmao, you are funny... Only a little, eh? Remember nothing is wrong! You can pronounce my made-up name however you wish... Haha...

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Hahah yeah only a little 'cause now I'm wondering what happened to make you choose that particular pen name lol my curiosity knows no bounds 😛😂 but don't answer I'll just let it go lol
And yeah I still pronounce it that way. It got stuck that way 😛
Oh I know I am funny thank you haha you are too 😉😂

[apennylate]

I was not planning on revealing my despair on a public forum, lolz... Feel free to call me w/e you would like... Am almost positive I will never know... Knowledge that one is funny, is the first step in dealing with the "funny" in a responsible way! Haha...

[Dr. YumnaKay]

I know that haha that's why I didn't really ask, one can ponder haha

Ahem.. Meaning I'm irresponsible? Hmm 😎😎 lol jk 😛

[apennylate]

Pondering is half the fun... I was actually making a terrible reference to the twelve step program, but instead of "addict"... I used "funny"... I know... It was a pretty awful joke... At least I amused myself somewhat...

[Dr. YumnaKay]

You do know that your jokes and most of your poems fly over this little head of mine haha still yeah amuse yourself lol 😛😉😂

[apennylate]

Not from lack of intellect on your part, mostly from my all ready being rather obscure, and the cultural differences... That helps confuse as well, haha... Remember... Amusing yourself is all that matters, YK... Lolz

[Dr. YumnaKay]

Cultural differences.. Yeah could be lol
Haha yeah true that 😛😉

[Joey Nizz]

That's a pretty cool rhythmic flow you made with your words.
I've enjoyed reading this, well wrote.

[apennylate]

Thanks, Nizz

[Joey Nizz]

Your welcome, Keem em coming!

[apennylate]

I will for sure!

[Relic]

You show a good sense of rhythm. I like the way the "flap wings" in the first sentence (a spondee?) slows you down almost to a stop a does the word disaster.

Lots of alliteration play here too. Very interesting writing on your part and fun to read.

[apennylate]

Had to look up what a "spondee" was, haha... Thanks, Relic...

[Island Hippy]

Aloha silente, super flow again, the first three lines make a punchy political statement and you close with some equally punchy lines. Articulate phrasing. Very nice. Izzy

[apennylate]

Aloha, IH, Thanks again for the super review...

[Island Hippy]

Your welcome

ee cummings wrote like this 80 years ago and they thought he was nuts..You,like cummings was working with shapes and word sounds.....And he, like you, made us comfortable with the inconspicuous. Wonderful......dana

[apennylate]

Holy... To be compared to him... You captured how I wrote, though, and that is using shapes and word sounds... Brilliant deduction, I hope the inconspicuous can be made wonderful... Thanks ever so much...
