In a river of consequential roe
a twinkling wake
of what could have been
if only lapped and unlept for

Puddle Chiefs
&  Splash Commanders,
   pissed and slippy Sallow Mandors ~
The spawn of loaded brawn
and murmuring maid


Chummed-up wind
floats all downstream
Running the muck
ad'mired
It is in fin'nity
that scales are lost
and tails are tossed as heads

Carpe-diem
Carp of deeds
Barned n' Culled
your moated seed

Row the roe
and tow that boat
for life is but a stream

The flow and wordplay of this one stands out as some of your best.

SO damn glad you commented on this.
I think this will be one of the few I take to a live reading.
Your words are MUCH appreciated. :highfive:

Just started doing live reading myself down here, in-between comedy shows. It's always hard to pick out poems for doing spoken word, as we always judge ourselves harder when surrounded by peers, but this one's a definite winner.

Man, I'm glad to hear you're on stage as well!
Between comedy acts? I wonder how that effects the crowd
when the poetry isn't anywhere near humorous :?
Wild shifts in mood, or snap-to-it brain engagement I'd imagine but maybe not.

I've been told that an artist should always choose what his audience deems
is their best work.
Of course what the artist favors, almost never matches
popular opinion, but still I would guess its the way to go.

In this case, I DO believe this is one of my better pieces.
Again, thanks for reminding me it was in the pile and giving me that needed boost. ;)

Always glad to see your work. Not much other reason to come back to dA, honestly. I barely write anymore. My catharsis comes from antagonizing comedy crowds now. But when I do still write things, I always make sure I see your recent work in the process.

Holy shit, what a compliment :O_o:

You've been a hell of an inspiration yourself over the years.
Thanks, babe. :iconspinplz:

It's not a compliment, it's a truth.
But thank you for the value you have found in me as well.

Sail me a sanded beach
And let it screech

They waters fine
(They say)

But toes are unsuitable thermometers
For volcanic life disruptions

In THAT case
One should bear arms
That actually hold hands

Totally immersed
A seed unhunted cunt
Sighs in revenge

For if it walks like duck
It probably fucks like one

And frankly my dear
After the party

I could not give
A damn(ed)
