RodomontadeA Poem by AGForgive the potentially offensive tone and message of the metaphors, fellow poets.
Pardon this soliloquy
As much as we mourn
For your lack of craft.
Allow our caste
To rant,
Preach,
Castigate
As you've let us endlessly
In the past.
Adhere like a remora!
For this is absolute.
No, I am absolute.
I am a poet.
Be my guest to listen
As I monologize
My cryptographic version
Of your reality
That you shall ensconce
Within your toothed chambers
And swallow with convincement
Like a placebo.
Let me feed you
With grandiose verbiages
Such as..
Adiathermancy,
Satyriasis,
Anhedonia,
or Love
To excite your existence
And amplify your aphasia.
You shant understand
Like I myself would not
But you'll thank me
For teaching you
A thing or two
About something uncertain
Nonetheless,
Something
For certain
Since...
I am a poet.
My bombast
Not my fashions or my face.
You remember them more than anything
As we pass each other on the streets
You'll say "Hello!"
I'll say "Bonjour!".
Off to the market
Like some commoner
Whilst I ride gallantly on my steed
White no less
To slay yet another beast in the woods.
I bleed with bravado
While you beseach,
Instead of besiege,
All of its pretense.
You gaze with awe
At how artful
My phraseologic convolutions are.
'Til ad nauseam
And belatedly wonder
What it all meant.
Christ without the persecution.
I am a poet.
Billet-doux for a love letter,
Apotheisis for glorification,
Tuh-mah-toh for tuh-mey-toh.
Why must we be adroit at this?
Simply because Everything's sweeter to the ears
In Latin,
Or in gibberish.
And we should adumbrate
This little habit,
Indulge in its pulchritude
Because..
I am a poet.
I paint you Picturesque landscapes
Inspiration is merely odds and ends.
Like Van Gogh would utilize shades
To buy his daily bread.
Survival through self-worth.
Explicit through the implicit.
These lies that you smoke like cigarettes
Allegorical morphine
For you temporary relief.
While we plagiarize the thesaurus
