A Poets quest. An ABCDERIAN poetry form. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Avant couriers of final solutions Battalions left fighting by the way Condescending world powers twittering Deeming all they say as gospel of the day Everything under the sun or darkest shadows Foolishly not admitting their own failings ever Gathering hatred at each turn of every corner Happy that their heads were in the sand. Indiscriminating constant betwixt good n evil Janissary exterminates all cause or principal Knowing nothing of the true skill of judgement Lasciviously take good from good for no good Microlithic walls of stones to cover errors Navigatiors using ancient charts for guidance Outrageously heralding credit for the route Perchance they knew no natural pathway Quadrature at ninety between the sun n moon Revived old Christian scruples long forgotten Saviours ? Save all states from self destruction Tablature of a tragic outcome hard to face. Unequivocally tough on any creed or religion Vededictory taken two thousand years to build Wrapped indiscriminately up in just one missile Xenelas now mankind from each world corner Yea from peaceful pastures grazed for years Zion heaping up evangelical dogma. Pray to God and let us learn. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Written by Philip. December. 11th . 2018.

Battered Similes As an ABCDERIAN poem. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As battered as an aspen leaf a tremble. Bad pennies just keep turning up Clean as a signal from a whistle Deaf as a post or daft as a brush Easy like Sunday mornings epistle Fit as a gipsy upon an old fiddle Good as the gold you pan from the river Happy as the longest day , a joy to be living Innocent as a new born babe in its weaning Jack of all trades mastering none Keen though as mustard, is that keen enough? Liken as two peas in the greenest of pods Memory like that rusty old sieve Nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof Obstinate as a Mule with a stone in the hoof Pretty as a picture , the one in my head. Quick as a flash then the picture is dead. Read like a book that mind of the poet. Sharp as a razor,though he don’t even know it Talk to the hand, just like my Dutch uncle Ugly like sin with the face of the devil. Vague battered similes to drive poets mental Wise as King Solomon but you must beware Xenophobian as a dislike of foreigners Young in years of training still to understand Zion’s a million miles from any promised land ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Written by Philip December 5th 2018.
