Weathering manifestations
of unrepentant verbosity,
an unchained soliloquy
in capriciousness imbibed;
personified in debilitating
compilations of superfluous diction

Embellished in flamboyant excess,
unprincipled representations
of simplistic decline;
accountability unanswered
but consecrated
in the magniloquence
of temescent hyperbole
Overwrought...
by design?

Ha. Clever. It's certainly true that writing can get so bogged down in fluff and glitter that it loses that pure element, the thing that makes it so beautiful in the first place. You've just reminded me that I'm horribly guilty of the mutilation of poetic simplicity. Killer vocabularly also, "embellished with flaymboyant excess" for effect. Wonderful piece...and guilt trip.

[Lubesh]

Ha ha well done! Seasonal felicitations to you while I am on.

[Phonoho]

Thank you. Contrary to appearences I was actually poking fun at myself. I drove to work that morning with the idea in my head and couldn't stop laughing. Spent a little more time on it than I expected to. I've gained a new respect for purple verse.

Nice, what I most liked about it was rhythm. Good work

Hirak.

[Phonoho]

Thank you much, Doc.

This is excellent, James. You're sending everyone on a guilt trip with this one. Hahaha. Exquisite use of language to make your point. Very well done.

I had to get out my dictionary for a couple of these - and I teach college composition and writing. Nice job; achieved its grandiloquent purpose.

Yes, very nice Junior. You do write a few of these, subtle fables for a poet. I take them on board too, I think it deinfitely got it's point across. But certainly a little heavy-handed, even for irony.
