Questionably Questioned...

A Poem by apennylate
"

Chest-earner...

"
Questionably questioned by the quest-givers
I'm a chest-earner
and I dig deeper to find lines that place my rhymes inside your mind tonight...
I'm a dark dragon seeking a stark mistress on a dime...
No warlock circle to burn on my skin
I am a sin of worthlessness in the lurch of learning magic whips...
I'm a laughingstock as the tablet flips tables of woe
Blows and throes...
I'm not Thor, no hammer and cord...
A zoid, I am moist...
Rejoice that my voice can transform transcribe describe...
Imagine the blight that will rise when they copy my hidden light
this time I'm "ite"...
Divine blind and now I free-grab rewind so the bee-line can define bright lies...
Behind enemy lines my wine is bitter like winter on the back of grime...
Slide your fines in the one-way ticket receiver and bide your brine so the wet can align with the vetting of your soul...
Whole toll is folded...
A paper-heart in a socket wrapped in a pocket
I'm on a rocket ship marked with lips like a dark kiss...
Wish I had no lisp but after today I wish the rips and wasp dips would leave me tossing and turning...
Needing grit...?
 Oh, you wish...

Powerful and worthwhile words my friend.
"Divine blind and now I free-grab rewind so the bee-line can define bright lies...
Behind enemy lines my wine is bitter like winter on the back of grime..."
The above lines were my favorite. The words hones and direct. My kind of poetry. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

"I am a sin of worthlessness in the lurch of learning magic whips..." That describes me since I've joined this site and learning to not just read poetry but really understand it. I have the proper appreciation for uniquely descriptive phrases, I try to use them myself. "Behind enemy lines my wine is bitter like winter on the back of grime..." beautiful imagery. All your stuff has vivid imagery and I always recognize and acknowledge that. This, like your others, reads smoothly, rhyming in odd but not wrong places...hey! It's poetry! I get it...(see? I'm learning). Good read. See you in class tomorrow?

Thanks, I shall.
This is a fun bit of doggerel and nonsense, full of assonance and internal rhymes every few syllables. It could do with a couple of more line breaks here and there so ease up on the breaths taken in between thoughts, which at times could go a couple of long lines at a time, and faith! not many people can hold their breath for that long! But that doesn't hurt the fact that this is amazingly written, and the nonsensical word/sound play simply elicits a giggle. Fantastic!

Oh umm, haha :D
Ahhh, this is all mumbo-jumbo...though I really don't get what you write (id be pleased to know the person who actually does understand it) the flow and tempo of the piece binds the reader till the very end...You use some heavy words and sentences, and of course they have a huge impact on the readers.
"A paper-heart in a socket wrapped in a pocket" - loved this line.
Insanely penned! Lol
