A Turd's Worth
or
The Value of Romanticism
"Suspicious of Reason, romanticists prefer leaps of faith
-- in addition to leaps off cliffs,
aside from bridges."
-- in the soup
the brain of Reason
sole
not stuck in muck
* * *
Imagine if a daffodil could feel,
when in an idyll wandering lonely by,
some poetaster at its cup should kneel,
to suck that dilly's filament root dry!
Then after as they idly share a f*g,
a dirty dil unzips its golden dew,
and sepaling the f*g in one long drag,
it pistils both beneath an English yew!
Soon next a crowd of daft O'dils bud round,
all swilling sweet mint tulips stoned on grass,
till potted pollen sacs of glands unbound,
deep plow the poetaster up his a*s --
as hosts of rapt romantics serenade
while pu*sywillows cattail nature's blade!
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
Clarity --
the enemy of poetasters confounded
a revolving helios sonnet shakespearean satire menippean on
the individualism of countless sentimentalists
mainstream
in lacking Reasoning skills
march, 2023 - yet reckless rhymesters romantic
fancying fairy tales
fatal
