Discard this garb of angel

That you wear with ostentatious pride;

Epitome of vain vulgarity!

 

With fabulated tales of passion,

You build enduring palaces on pagina,

Putative to last the length of time,

Yet impaired at a sudden gust of wind,

Of the blunt reality you hide behind a façade.

 

Your mind, a perfused corridor of perfume

Enticing all innocence to despair

You lead the like of me with your fescue stick

The emblem of your corrupt existence

Weaving a tale of fictive joys

Unbeaten, unsurpassed

Far too long.

Author's Note

Specified words for the challenge : fabulate, facade, pagina, palace, putative, perfervid, perfume, perfuse, fescue, fictive.

Reviews

[Dayran]

The poem is a little like arriving at the end of a court trial when the judge announces the sentence. One would appreciate hearing about the events that led up to the rising flames. A cultivated reprimand that's all the more injurous on account of the vocab.

[MS. BABy]

loved the vocab lesson, and nice piece the pic and the script....enjoyed this very much

[Raven Starhawk]

This was inspiring. Its beginning, middle and end was absolutely golden.

[Coyote Poetry]

Powerful and strong words made this poem a pleasure. Each statement adding to the desire of the poem.
"That you wear with ostentatious pride;
Epitome of vain vulgarity!"
No weakness in this poem. A strong ending to a excellent poem.

You have woven quite the tale and used the words rather well. I have not tried my hand at these words yet. You have done well with the imagery and it is amazing how people can have two sides to their nature.
