CLONED

surcingle jerked 

to sinch the trappings tight

Ideas of cloud, sky and winds nicely contained

this riders method long in the tooth

the ol' dog drops his face

lags just a moment then

puts the spurs to tongues of hues and distinction

neural explosions now bland and 

perfectly the same

funny how the bit is taken so easily

Do my eyes deceive me? Is this a new poem? It most certainly is! And starts with a two-BIT word. I love to learn. Couple days ago it was crepuscular. Today, surcingle. Strapped it to my mind and will have to take the word for a ride some day. I ride your words. I loved the line, 'puts the spurs to tongues of hues and distinction'. As Kramer would say ... Giddyup Gene!

At first I wondered if surcingle had anything to do with enclaamotoues or rifmagogls, but of course neither of them is assoczamated with Alice Cooper's clone!
Silly me.
Definitely a sagmitizated, clearmortizific bit of poetry.

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahahahaha ...well ... what can one say to all that, Dave .. but thank you for reading and fine humor! luv on ya brother!

I was discussing Dolly the sheep only last week, then heard her mentioned on the radio for the first time in years, and now saw this, your lovely poem. I do enjoy synchronicities.
'neural explosions now bland and
perfectly the same'
disconcerting to say the least.
Fully enjoyable read, EN!
All the best,
Laura.

[Einstein Noodle]

yes! synchronicities are magical and God sent at times says i! so glad you enjoyed the read and your pointing out certain lines is most helpful to me ... peace and joy Ms. Laura Kate!

Reminds me of the sad tale of Dolly the sheep, several years ago now. And having watched a rerun of the 'Head That Would Not Die' last week, makes for a very interesting reading. Thank you for sharing.

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha ..yes .. dear Dolly eh!? ;) i think you mean "the Brain that would not die" don't you? an incredible classic from the 60s .. surely you are not as old as me! i remember that movie ... barely :)))))))))) ... thank you for taking time Sir Frederick!

OK E,-"surcingle"?...What the....? You've taught this city girl a brand new word accompanied by visions of you on your horse lazing by, brain being newly inspired by the sights and sounds perceived. what a wonderfully-worded poem in your always unique style! Yes, get those synapses stirring my friend. Bursts of impulses and Alice Cooper too? Oh my- I love it all!

[Einstein Noodle]

ahahaha .. you like that eh!? .. i wrote it in my "new words" notebook about 8 yrs. ago and finally found a use for it ... i hope it's not me on the horse dahlink ..he's quite manipulative and overrun with avarice ... thank you for your visits always .. it is a delight to see you and your pooch smiling at me and taking time to read and comment ... never was a fan of Alice; but i thought the song fit so well I had to use it ..thanks for mentioning that too! luv and joy Ms. Annette!

I like how you put the
riding reins of this poem
to a western theme ..too
many sheeple easily biting
the bit; conforming to sameness
then there are those of us
who are rebels .".you can lead
a horse to water but you can't
make him drink it comes to mind"
Especially if he long in the tooth
and set in his ways ..another
great write from you Mr. E

enjoyed reading

[Einstein Noodle]

thanks for taking time always Fran! your support and reviewing is kind and helpful ... yes .. it seems to easy a thing to just go along with the crowd .. even tho we don't like nor agree with it ..incredibly, doing the right thing, is the hard thing to do ...why is that Fran? :(
E.

[Fran Marie]

dunno; wish I knew
the answer...the world
is so messed up..

[Einstein Noodle]

luv ya Miss Franola! ;)
