Hackneyed

 

 

 

Eyes

 

shade

 

hue

 

and cry -

 

 

blank stare denotes down hoicked heart;

beaten piebald.

 

Father besotten daughter : forever besotted father.

 

You fool, bruised batter

for boilerplate affection.

 

See you not such musings

leave her but eidetic lingerings?

Mere illusions of a mind

 

e s c a p i n g ...

 

Your sententious ramblings

[mouth or hand alike]

case-harden soul.

 

If only it wasn't true:

 

a daughter's love inveterate.

    Ok.....I have just told a few Poets not to use so many of your words so closely together.....however....in YOUR write, you did it as well, but you made it work....and you did not lose the Poetic Voice and Tone which I look for   

     

    Excellent job on this word bank.....stunning actually....good luck!  Bear -
