Crow Duds

 

 

Circle your fears

straw man the cat

ran away laughing

without the moon’s tongue

“Do me a Can Can”

won’t you “Cannot Man”?

Speak UP Come ON

 

Crow’s feet sidle along

narrowest single tracks

idly biding time for a better bid

an angle of Angelic proportion

Perception Rare of birdified BARD

“Fie! The feed is poison drenched”

CROWS our friend…

 

Held up by wire

singed a time or two be four

for lack of truth in lightning strikes

and Union wired ethics twice befitted

electric garland fetid retchers

over stretching corporate flockers

Feathers burning “OH YESSSSSSS! hahahahahaha!!!!”

…*digression*

 

Return, reiterate

extrapolate expansive Interpol

has a bullet proof

Necromancing Ideology

which reminds me…

 

“I once killed a CLOWN

The King brought him UP

and I took him DOWN

“Caws! Cause! Of course! Of course!”

 

So why dampen the effect

of hesitation with consternation

“Great, Grate, CAWS! Cause! Cause!”

Of course I feel “Tony Tiger”

Somewhat half rate sedated wanna be-ing.

 

The Scarecrow held perfectly

motionless watching the Crow

do an Irish Jig on the Magick line,

"Dance, dance, sweet, dark causation

and while you lose everything in turn

I’ll mark the passing time photo

metaphorically via moving stillness

grooving reverence evocative

of our unique friendship divine."

Interesting intertwining here...

Little boy blue
and the man on the moon
meet up with the scare crow..

and...
the jester... ?!!
just before his untimely demise

Surely...

you jest!

And in the meantime..

The crow..
doesn't really know
his foe,
below...

the wire.

This BEATS all Robin... !

It's GRRREEEEEAT! :)

"Do me a Can Can"

won't you "Cannot Man"? - cool line

The crow and scarecrow in perfect harmony. What a thought. :) Strange piece but an interesting read worth the trip. Does Poe's Raven still cry "Nevermore!"?

Figure out the anagram yet? ;)

Well this is something to crow about. Uniquely written and best described as a brain teaser or maybe mind bender would be a better choice! Super write although at times I had trouble following at times. Very nice piece.

I'm doing a crow hop because this is wild! Fix Scarecrow in the last paragraph and you're good to go!

Wonderfully genius! Phenomenal twists of words and existentialist thought. I could barely wrap the concept around my brain, but then, you don't always have to. This poem is a total breath of fresh air, like an acid trip to the disillusioned. A truly terrific piece.
