Torchery-Sorcery
Joan of Arc, heretic
Burned at the stake though the
Battles she won,

Met up with Peter, who
Welcomed the maiden with
Epigrammatical
"Greetings, well done!"

Normally-Formally
Curtis is following
Dactyls around and a-
Round with a curse:

Probably typically
Mad since he cannot be
Complementarily
Straight and per-verse.

Edison said it's in
sweat and not genius that
true inspiration comes,
but don't forget

lightbulbs are here because,
coincidentally,
genius instructed him
where he should sweat.

Misery-fisery,
cold-shouldered Romeo,
not at all liking the
chill that he felt,

went out to buy her a
manocryometer,
hoping to see if his
sweetie would melt.

manocryometer: "an instrument for determining the variations in the freezing or melting point of substances with changes in pressure."

DIRTY DACTYLS

Penis and testicle,
Vulva and labia,
Represent aspects of
One and the same

Human endeavor that
Some folks combine till they've
Hermaphroditically
Lit their own flame.

Trying out rhymes again

Logical schmogical
Johnnie von Neumann's gal
bought him a matrix with
vectors and tea.

Sillily hillbilly
Bob bought his nil-willy
sister a Valentine's
card and a rose.

Happily pappily
Kira took grappily
Solan's long beard in the
fist of her hand.

Always the Borges friend
Trying out rhymes again
Greetings good fellows, I'm
back in the game.

Quad/wrangle

Formerly-normerly
Curtis is certainly
grammatologically
skewing his verse:

fitting his syntax a-
round a lone wording that's
hapax legomenon
Can it get worse?

<dir><dir>*</dir></dir>

Shrilliest-deifist
shouting his name: "Well it's
Gaius Petronius
born on the West

Coast of America
touting the coming of
Exobiologist
X," you suggest.

<dir><dir>*</dir></dir>

Flibbertigibbet, you
mean, if he's anything—
abiogenisis
has a new model:

wordiest-curdiest
springer of dirtiest
rhythms and meters that're
lifeless as dottle.

<dir><dir>*</dir></dir>

Shmokin'ly-brokenly
Curtis is tokin' the
pipe that will never be
making its rounds:

extrajudicially
puffing his lunacy—

"Purposive blowing of
smoke that abounds?"


—C.

Hope

Feathery-weathery,
Emily Dickinson
Wrote of the small bird that
Perches and sings.

I hope that Emily
Paradisiacally
Flutters with angels on
Heavenly wings.
