Before the sun un-days itself,
Horizoning in red.
I high my poems on the shelf
And duvet in my bed.
The poems, wording in my brain,
Nightmare me through the dark.
They sword and dagger me again,
I fin and gill –they shark
When daylight windows on my eyes,
And bugles me awake,
The cliff-noise of my heart re-highs,
And in the tub I lake
I panty, skirt – I food my mouth
I word my pad once more…
But words non-pad! I north and south
And de-house by the door!

"Get thee to a nunnery"! Oh lovely one - do not even joke about cutting your wrists! I applaud your willingness to make better mistakes!
-
so true, and you know it
I have printed out this poem and placed it carefully in my little poem pocket and will post it on Poetry Planet tomorrow. If I make any errors in it, I shall be so tearful and ashamed, I shall enter a nunnery.
waaaaa! I made another mess-up! I shall do pennance forever and put purposeful paper cuts on my wrists! Oh, I am so sad! 
waaaaaa! Oh, for goodness sakes, you little crybaby face! Get over it! Tomorrow is a whole new day for making brand new mistakes! Make better ones! 
Okay, I shall!

Glad to make you laugh, Melodies.

Warmed me heart!
Too Funny! You are into humor and we like it a lot! This is so very YOU in that it is smart, and also very YOU in that it has heart! Heart and humor combine to make a poem so fine! -
Doesn't it just, and don't we! If you want to take this idea and run with it, be my guest. Or to put it another way: Away my words and idea them when you next poem anything.

I've never seen anything like this!!! It's totaly great!!! good write.
-
great word usage. This poem made me smile. You are very creative and I enjoyed reading this.
-
Lol - this was very inventive indeed. Nice write my dear
-
This is an interesting piece. The lack of verbs seems jarring at first but becomes very smooth on rereading.
"The poems, wording in my brain,
Nightmare me through the dark."
This exploration of verbs you conduct conveys more than if the word nightmares was replaced with a traditional verb. A very unique piece. Have some clap claps.

Lass, you shine like the morning planet, Venus hersel'. 'Tis a pleasure, sure enough, to be able to read of the fruit of your imagination. -
We would speak a different langauge if we spoke like this and changed verbs to seem like nouns.
