#verbiage - Hello Poetry

___FLUFF:___ _Frequently, I discover words with hidden meaning, shining like coins in a handful of fluff, apple seeds and other down-the-back-of-the-sofa leavings. Some are too precious to share and I secrete them away. Others I spend cheaply on rigged slot machine verbiage. Mostly they sit waiting to be written usefully. Adding insight, lending moment to my day._ § ___NONSENSE:___ _Foraging amongst the dahlias For Cinderella’s lost slipper, I am Barbie magic made manifest, I am Germaine (sodding) Greer’s antifem, I am Super Mum with gumboots on._ § ___ABSURDITY:___ _The best nonsense is always spoken in the middle of the afternoon while heading north on a train bound for a smallish beige town, and so it was that the occupants of second-class carriage BG1754 found themselves gripped by a kind of eloquent hysteria as they rattled around the final bend in the tracks before the steep descent to the weatherboard station at Claggy Peat._

Fluff, Nonsense & Absurdity

.....Lo, forth I do march, Hell's scorch fuels the ascendancy Into solemn inner battle amongst Myselves, I am a poem at war with words, The pen a bride like some spectral Verbiage- luminosity antagonisong The swell of ferocity, I do cling As the audascious hope gathers its wounds And scatters like petals in the furious winds, The forbearance of that knife Wielded within the self, Self against self, The battle rages against the heart, Against the mind, Down to the very soul! In the craftmans tomb, A poem floods the inner sanctum And the march forward seems Like a depression plowing The fields of memory, Oh what dreams may come May also haunt. And one drops many a word, The war inside like flock Of crows into the blinding light, I still here could not give in, The soul still battles its flesh....

Because I Could Not Give In

.....Lo, forth I do march, Hell's scorch fuels the ascendancy Into solemn inner battle amongst Myselves, I am a poem at war with words, The pen a bride like some spectral Verbiage- luminosity antagonisong The swell of ferocity, I do cling As the audascious hope gathers its wounds And scatters like petals in the furious winds, The forbearance of that knife Wielded within the self, Self against self, The battle rages against the heart, Against the mind, Down to the very soul! In the craftmans tomb, A poem floods the inner sanctum And the march forward seems Like a depression plowing The fields of memory, Oh what dreams may come May also haunt. And one drops many a word, The war inside like flock Of crows into the blinding light, I still here could not give in, The soul still battles its flesh....

You purport that you are always right with verbiage, loud designed to confuse fomenting exasperation with this constant fight and sisyphean failure to change your views.
