Cressidence of Insanitous Bewilderings

It's wacky! /shrug

The madman's mind is frightning indeed.

Tales of hyporian yeans, and their silent rages,

roam wild, traveling the Bleed.

Innoconrevicably disregarding their cages.

 

Quicksilvered glyphs take many faces,

though most of them are lies.

Tithings will work into their good graces,

as sure as the farthing flies.

 

Unfurled upon the last day's dawn,

Hephetious ships depart, fueled by lore.

Black plokes of ruined days foregone,

fill the sky, bepretimuging the fallen shore.

 

Quick!  Unstep for higher times!

Twas too late for the Knights of Cyonder.

Who's feet worbled as they crossed the lines,

and sent their souls into preternal wander.

 

Into the distance, glendian towers rise,

home to the women of Sincuben Wild.

Lustlings and faies dance in their eyes,

though their words are always mild.

 

Soft, now, fore Jaberwoks hide in the black.

Claws and teeth sharpened for your discombobulord.

So oft their heads with a snicker-snack!

You can be vorpal with your hand on a sword.

 

The madman's mind is frightning indeed.

Twixt the ether and the never,

sanity's beligering hold must concede,

and bade us well on our endeavor.

Um . . . good luck?

we all have a madness within us, extremely deep writing, i love the way you use words that are so unique and unaware, loved it.

There is, certainly, a nod to Carroll in here, and (I'm guessing here) a bit of a tip of the cap to Dryden, e.g., "Great wits are to madness near allied"--the notion that it's a fine line between creativity and a suite in the Bughouse Hilton. What can't be denied is that this is some fine writing, even if does require more than one trip to the dictionary--the flow is excellent, the imagery is vivid and inventive. It's a damn fine piece of work.

Outstanding use of vocab. I love this kind of work. This is going in my library. Anything with context of madness is indeed a wondrous thing. Excellent use of Carol Lewis.
