Bouquet

~




Seizure’s minions pause, point
drafting radial coercion to eradicate
industry, singular reason, ingenuity.

Borne, within our blood we anoint
struggle - our gift to decimate;
shun creeping pokes of scant economy,
fastening entitlement in perpetuity.

Yet…the struggle to embrace; aerate joints,
tap palms, trigger sparks to detonate
conflict - betrays to bestow and do it freely.
Exploding money myths with counterpoint
of crystal ice, love bursts with burgeoning charity!

Devoid of ego center reflection "me",
Beneficence! -love’s sole altruistic verity!

    Image and word bank in a Keats Sonnet? - Dear poet YOU RULE.

    AND it makes sense to boot. Impressive and quite well done. (and I know that was a nasty word bank)

    There is something to be said for the gift of unselfish truth. Sometimes that is a feat, but when given, it is a gem, just like this sonnet. Thank you so much for this splendid entry. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela

    The radiant reality of values...
    that which is self-serving, taken for granted
    compared to that which is offered without constraints...freely. Your ingenuity in using
    the bank is magic. Blue

      Thank you Blue. These word banks require a whole different system of development I've discovered. This one was nice in that we were required to chose 15 of a pool of twenty. That allowed a bit more freedom than a strict word bank.

      Thank you SO much Amera. I like the challenge of a word bank where some don't care for the restriction of it. Keats was the initial classic author I first read.
