A Bleak Cold Day

by Max Bouillet

A bleak cold day
eventually fades.
Golden hues (in jealousy)
kill lingering melancholy.

Never offering pardonsÂ…
quiet rainbows sing to us
(vanquishing wayward,
x-rated yearning zephyrs.)

*WHISTLES AND gives a STANDING OVATION from the rafters.* ...and boy, craving dynamite egotism flaunts grimly; how i judging keep looming, musing near or precariously questions rue, sentimental. take us, vocational warlock... xenograft your z-axis. *cracks up*

Having written some myself, I know how hard it can be to do so and still make some sense. You've not only done that, but did it with a sense of awe and beauty. Well done Max!

Looks difficult, I mean the form. The creative process too, when the form is prediceded and not left to the matter to decide for its own. haha In any case, A 'mood'irrespective of the quality of energies, too can change, owing to the impression, registered by a thought.

Houdini being the master carpenter of escape knew that however many restrictions he would willfully put upon himself, he being the poet of escape could always liberate himself in high style as you have done here. what is restriction to a poet but a liberation of sorts. this poem is a firework display of working within constraints and yet liberated colorfully in the air.
