i have a rendezvous with rhyme
with only the lyrics of this orchestra
my cadence is only for rhythm
free-verse in its purest ingenuity
I ache for quarterly submissions
of my essential need to write
the autopilot poetica of my
last kaleidoscopic vision strange
a musical hopscotch of surrender
a mystical milking it of thirst
muse & fate here relaxes
for a final teasing and tasting
of the plump record of odes
and the promise of exhaustive cadence
that reaches humming pentameter
stares organic pink into utopia
requesting documentation from the stars
in how to be a poet, as legends burn
martyrs in their alien worlds
a last dynasty of awkward prayer-rituals.
“Muse ampersand fate” oh my dear friend you used a symbol! You embedded! I wrote a poem awhile ago with all “fake” words, just using sound. Did you know you found a key to unlock one of the mysteries of writing? Well—you did!
I simply love writing about the act of writing, it’s strangely liberating!
So Beautiful 🙂
Thanks Morgan! I usually aim for beauty…at least in some form.
Lots of fun word-work here; my favorite bit is “rendezvous with rhyme.” 🙂
Thanks Jen, yes it’s playful granted, words are supposed to be elastic, I’d be making up my own words if it could make sense…
achingly gorgeous flow of visuals, comrade. kudos
thanks poetry is such, if it doesn’t taste with an ache, it’s not the real food.
true that. it’s the great distiller. look forward to more aches and curls.
Wordidge, full respect
Thanks that’s nice of you to say, I’ll try to stay humble now behind the shadows like usual.
I love your wordplay….exquisite!
Thanks Christina
i have a rendezvous with rhyme” drew me in, and then I read on and I was lost in trance – your choice of words and how you put the together – your topics and expression – in every way that you write … in its totality, is truly one of the most beautiful I have come across thus far on WP. ❤ Much love to you Wuji, you bring beauty in all shapes, sizes, colors, thoughts, dreams and more .. to everyone who "reads" you.
Thank you so much what a lovely review!
You’re very welcome Wuj’ – “reading” you is like taking a trip through your eyes and mind – it’s beautiful.
