Syllabus Re-Engaged

Yeah I see that syllabus re-engaged

now I drift through space an angel with no wings

An angler with no angle to catch dreams

I see screams desecrate reams of paper on the floor

I gasp

carve myself out an inch of porn to sleep soundly by the boards of four

It's floorboards or scores of scones some might call w****s

I don't implore nor goad the lord when searching for toads under stools

but still my sword is proof toadstools can fool

Shall I rule?

hand out gruel...

It's cruel, I know

to be misused, but truth be soon on the heels of lollipop ruse

Rust evolves like holograms blue

I sound out every syllable proof, so they can find me with helium loops 

Ionic iconic sonic like spill-proof hydroponics, hydraulics engage

It's hyper-soluble double solvable embolics

gullible solvent a salvo of embellished linguistics

All or nothing-north star facing holistic bumbling

a bee sting 'n' I'm fumbling for ballistic crumbling

As cityscapes scrape on vape clouds waked

I sense baste as the paste of filthy high-brows quake

Cool poem. That was fun to read. For some reason, it made me think of my computer programming class. I'm really struggling with it, and that class is making me crazy. Good job!

[apennylate]

Thanks so much! Sorry it has taken a minute to reply! Been away for a while.

This ones one of my favorites from this site so far, thats probably because ima big fan of space and cityscape imagery, and the meter is nice

[apennylate]

Ahh, well thank you so much, Jack... I love space and city imagery as well... Anything that is relatable in an almost fantasy setting.. I adore writing it...

[Raghib]

Are you a science wiz . I cant stop flattering you . But mind it . This is honest flattery . Loved it . Loved it .

[apennylate]

Thank you very much. Ragbhib... I am not a science wiz, just love lots of words, heh

"An angler with no angle to catch dreams"
Stunning writing. Damn. A line to stop you in your tracks.

[apennylate]

Thanks, bud

[The Iron Horseman]

I like the way this bounces around, taking swipes left and right, conjuring absurd images and creating collages of sound. And the toadstools section made me laugh out loud! Good stuff, my friend.

[apennylate]

Thank you, Horsey man

[The Iron Horseman]

You are most welcome, my friend.

This little ditty of yours is showing a lot more tricks than just your love of rhyming . . . I'm enjoying your wordplay with vowels sounds & many of your phrases are cleverly crafted: "an angler with no angle" . . . "searching for toads under stools" . . . "spill-proof hydroponics" . . . "holistic bumbling / ballistic crumbling" . . . so much to marvel at! *smile* (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[apennylate]

Thanks, Barley, it means a lot

[Norbanus]

The rhymer with those deep embedded loops,
gives syllabus its wingless, winless drift
I gasp to try to curb my startled "Oops!"
It's gone. To late to reclaim my word thrift.

With claims of understanding in the air.
Egg splattered all across the face of most.
The spill-proof milk of kindness is right there.
A grasp of nuance equals right to boast.

The bumbling, crumbling thoughts which scramble forth,
Preclude engaged hydrolics or the vape
Those Wild guesses thunder from the north.
Could they too be asearching for the grape.

Somewhere behind the lost and found of phrases,
we'll find the filthy high-brows (which amazes.)

[apennylate]

A clever and succinct old-school wrap-up of the content, and it is badass... Inspired by, and absolutely adore your rhymes, Norbanus. Thank you very, very much for the time taken

[Great Aunt Astri]

To tell you the truth, I don't think I understood all of this. But I LOVED reading it. Such wonderful words tripping off the tongue. It was a cerebral treat!

[apennylate]

You and I, both, Astri... You and I, both, haha.... Thanks very much

[Great Aunt Astri]

It must have been your Muse at work!

[apennylate]

I believe so, heh...

[Einstein Noodle]

it is not easy to give up ones rational ordered sensible mind but one must when reading "Syllabus Re-Engaged" .. like much of your stuff .. the challenge is worth it as i am free ... and sense only .. the angst and sarcastic social voice .. if only how we say things..manipulate things .. can be frustrating for an honest soul ..

[apennylate]

Agreed, one must be without wings in space, not an ideal position... But one that must be taken nonetheless, aha... Thanks, Einstein, glad you liked another

[Josie E. Cook M. A.]

After reading this, I kept coming back to "Rust evolves like holograms blue "--love the image that I get here along with colors.

[apennylate]

Me too! I loved making that line... Who wouldn't correlate blue with holograms... Hollywood has set me up for perfection there, aha... Thanks so much, Josie
