mazes

Deep trenches
-intrigue underground.
gnarled tracks: uneven, dark
slippery, treacherous
routes hang loose.
Point of distress-
match and game
come hurtling back
deflected aim.
Cracks open, arches close
resounding ecoes
alter, falter
Bytes hit dust.
Sound asleep
-hibernate
or let the tunnel
be the funnel
to the ground.

Babblers et all

Spouters
of frills.
words, ways
-arrays of syntax.
to
juggle or not.
invincible wheels
of the dialect.
no spokes.
Then,
Summoners
of jargon.
here, acronyms
-they overtake synonyms.
Decipherable or not
the perspective's lost.
Or pin-point; to-the-point
-appointed, not annointed....
Rose from prose to rows of woes
- from snatcher of fire to catcher of ire....
Stand by or follow, more words are hollow.
Gales or scents or tunes that drift
hold as much sense as words that shift.

assortments

assortments: of people, cookies, rings n things.
packaged.
pre-cooked, pre-pared, pre-meditated.
cut, sliced, spliced
-the set fare.
swept up clutter: no flaw, no flair, no flutter.
deftly chosen, gently yoked
puppets and pawns
-incessant yawns.
assortments: of chance.
magnets, winds, undercurrents
jumbled thoughts, forget-me-nots
the push and the pull of the high tide.
a snatch, a patch, a drop of dew
a trace of the earth
and the atlas flew

here spring words (1st post)

Skip a beat
and race
the concrete elves
Forest selves
unravel, travel...
Flights of fancy
fright of shelves
Pages rattle
Bookends quiver
Digits prattle
-the brook's a river
