As I did once conduct myself
In such a blithesome way
As if, I wonder, one did
But jettison a pantheonic,
Labyrinthine effigy
Of ones pompus, hidebound candor
Unto the quaggy depths.
Incapable of clasping to
This reticence with a litany
Of onus prehension
Though left at times
The bifurcated expectation
Of a derilict frieze
Juxtoposed across the meandering,
Undulant coils of my deepest essence
As if to console with a kickshaw
(Yet ne'er so trepid)
Did I sanction unto lothario,
That berserk passion!
A foible fluctuating frantically
Both maudlin and palatable
Reduces me me beyond reaching
My very touchstone
But a zany yokel
The epoch ends.
Flotsam.
But sediment beyond
The effible conundrum.
Beyond the grasp of any
Tenacious alienist
No matter how fastidious.
But with these dragooned thoughts
A mere simulacrum on the surface.
And so to rest.
To foray beyond all aphorism.
Eternity lies in wait.
Author notes
I am afraid that as I have made use of around 70% of the words-of-the-day, I feel it more prudent to redirect all attention to http://allpoetry.com/board/topic/268618709 within the following group: http://allpoetry.com/group/show/Vocabulary%20Word%20of%20the%20Day
Oh, and added a few of my own.
Labyrinthine:
Of, relating to, resembling, or constituting a labyrinth.
Resembling a labyrinth in form or complexity; "a labyrinthine network of tortuous footpaths"

congratulations on the green shiny
I find word banks often stilted but you did a good job and the poem made sense
-
wow, this was very descriptive! I think if you made the poem longer, you could've spaced out the words more, and that would've confused me a little less. but this was very good, you used very good words, and good job on adding one of your own! Thanks for entering my contest!

Fantastic
After defining a lot of the words you used, i got a better idea as to what you were saying here. I can only guess as to what it's really about. A psychotic break and then the thereafter? A man looking back on being classified as crazy? am i totally off? either way, it's a very well written poem with vocabulary to impress. nice job!

well, it's a person's final thoughts as they realise they will soon die or otherwise cease to be that person. They see how much, how complex yet how futile these thoughts are. I'll read through it again to give you a better idea tomorrow!
