PERSECTIVES IN VERSE

Perspectives in Verse

 

 

Vital, like a new born suckling from her mother’s n*****s.
Fatal, for the man, with liver disease, who contemplates an evening tipple.

Habitual, are the bag lady's treks, as she undertakes her  collection rituals.

 

 

 

Cordial, was the attitude maintained by the portrait painter.

Contemptible, were the reactions of the fidgeting, frantic, youngster.
Affordable, felt her evasive mum, the elder subject and commissioner.

 

 

 

Inconsolable, was the distressed child, having lost his stick at the fair.
Uncontrollable, were his tears having noticed, big sister’s refusal to care.

Intolerable, was sister’s view, given  she had won him a cuddly bear.

 

 

 

 

Invaluable, are the spares, as yet another set of keys are lost.
Irrational, is the worker who frets and sweats over the additional cost.
Laughable, thinks the boss who attempts to minimise his employee’s fuss.

 

 

 

Unacceptable, were the views of the DJ’s new upstairs neighbours.

Immaterial, felt the DJ in defence of both his livelihood and creative labour.

Delusional, believed the basement dweller, who is not an avid raver.

This poem is perhaps unfinished and should be regarded as 'work in progress', until I'm ready to revisit. Thanks

Reviews

[lee von cleef]

good to have a place to gather your momentum ,I like it.

[Joann Conkey]

Love the perspective! This one really gets the mind to contemplate! Irony!!!

[roarke]

so much allowed between the lines, I'd say this would warrant a revisit and extrapolating exploration in a story format. Nice writing.

[Tai Ryens]

Clever form and delivery of your thoughts, you state an example for every word quite humorously. I enjoyed many of the lines written, brilliant job.

What a touching good puns I read here, beautifully finished to perfection. With all wisdom woven through your words, yes! clever dear!

Brilliant in delivery, not going to try and compete! You have the mind of a thought juggler! Your mental perspectives are a lesson in constraint yet agile word play.

[Ed Hart]

variable, terse verse
undeniable, muse's curse
irrevocable, words disperse
