Kaleidoscope of verve and vision <br />we dare to tread urban lexia, <br />steady as the marionette <br />dangling o'er a child - <br />recklessly, drunkingly, <br />grade school tom-foolishly, <br />metaphorically breathing, <br />teasing and testing, <br />delivering loud messages <br />so subtlely...as 'we' do so well, <br />quite collectively, such variety, <br />like potpouris scent of diversity, <br />synthesizing all principles <br />of written locution; <br />and have you studied <br />the grammarical bible <br />of parlance, keen lexia <br />in lieu of lingual dreck? <br />personally i'd rather <br />be accused of shibboleth, <br />or the strange esoteric, <br />as the Masons so practiced <br />so f r e e l y.....covertly <br />bizarre in dark legendries, <br />by death pledge in blood <br />to protect their covenants <br />while frightening the bejesus <br />out of Quakers and Democrats - <br />threaded codes do tell tales <br />with their symbols 'n numerals <br />not so different then we <br />and our underlying themes <br />diagnal acrostics <br />interpretations, <br />indignations, <br />surrealistic Dali-ations, <br />cryptic lexicon just so - <br />we can create our own covenant <br />of dark, linguistic pages; <br />pages, thick with cold richness, <br />''our'' richness, and blood; <br />blood that pours hard <br />from every stroke of our pens, <br />from every rush to our brains. <br />And thats poetry of the Abstract <br />surrealistic free verse <br />...yes it is - <br />right above, <br />as forementioined, yes, <br />thats what it be- <br />and it's so strangely beautiful to me.<br /><br />Frank James Ryan Jr...FjR<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inside-the-mind-of-the-abstract-poet-somewhere/
