One Fell Swoop
Some fugacious thought
Ran rampant through
My vivid imagination
Lingering just long enough
To taste the remnants
Of other careless ideas
In one fell swoop
The potboiler hustled
His metaphors on the corner
Of lugubrious and incongruous
While the watchman for the cabal
Watched with amusement
Certainly not the time for ellipsis
Nor pinchbeck
Such a stygian night for expression
Maybe tomorrow will bring a
Luculent understanding
And a good sapid cup of coffee
No tautological meter required
A nimiety of flufferage*
Bequeathed to all for analysis
Dare I say: “Webster, anyone”?
*my own personal word for the past tense of fluff
JFTLOI and Jades BTM theme
