HER MAGNETIC MAJESTY (THE CIRCUS QUEEN)

09 08 14

Lilting rhapsodies supplanted
in her body language
illustrate kaleidoscopic recitations
of a residence in art
like a height-limit sign
dressing the discretion
of a circus ride in the promise
of adrenalized epiphany
A purity of acquiescent gallantry
enables only a remoteness
of an entertained appeal
for an ascertainment of
the necromantic volumes
of her haunted house
speckled with inscrutable verandas of
aesthetic ecstasy like easter eggs of
piqued intrigue
Her allure assesses at the door
afflicting invitations into warped
divining rod domains
with hallucinations of a serpent
swallowing its own tail
Boiling ink in a perceptive wand
powers her sublime sophistication
exorcising flippancy from fools
soliciting a fairweather interplay
with a queen of hurricane sagacity

yer feckin' poems man. they're so verbose. the whole time I'm reading them, I'm thinking s**t this is so VERBOSE. It's like an assault. In no means is this a criticism, because as soon as I think s**t this is so verbose, I find something to keep me going, some sort of vine to swing from in there.

"circus ride in the promise"

Haha It's alright, it's a fair assessment...sometimes I'm not going for direct or inherent meaning in the words though, sometimes I'm just going for words that work well phonetically within a flow...I'm very big on flow, and sometimes a good flow demands verbosity, at least in my style haha But I also work hard to make sure that I do have those 'vines' in there, or it would be totally inaccessible on any level...I definitely need the vines...J'm glad you enjoyed this one :)

The circus queen, indeed, who is this lady poet you speak of. I think I know;) Great as always.

[kublakhan27]

Haha Yes you know...I spoil her don't I? ;) So glad you enjoyed it Pryde.

[Blake Fodor]

Your words flow sweetly and the sentiments and emotions come straight from the heart.

[kublakhan27]

So glad you enjoyed it Blake, thank you.

[Briana O'Connor]

This piece made me feel like I was tripping on mushrooms walking through a fun house! There are just no words to describe the way you glued your words together in a psychedelic art show. Very well done. Thank you for sharing.

[kublakhan27]

Haha So glad I was able to trip you out PL, I think I tripped myself out with this one...many thanks :)

[Jennie Baron]

I don't know of better adjectives than Frieda stated...entertaining and amazing indeed. Keep letting me know when you have new poems. This fiction lover and writer always learns from the eloquence of poetry.

[kublakhan27]

Thanks so much Jennie, your kind words and support are always humbling and inspiring :)

[Lyn Anderson]

How marvelously entertaining this piece is. Fit for a queen. A mad queen, an eloquent queen, yes, the analogy of Alice definitely fits here -- the Red Queen.

[kublakhan27]

So glad you enjoyed it my friend...I was definitely in surrealist/fantasy mode writing this one...

[Frieda P]

I'm incapable of a review, this one has me gob-stopped! I've always said you're either a madman or a genius, fine line you tread, this is befitting that title. Haunted houses, boiling ink and Easter eggs OH MY!

I feel like Alice down the rabbit hole, dancing on Mars with the munchkins from Oz. :)

This certainly isn't vanilla, more like Rocky Road meets Tutti Frutti in hallucinations of gooey goodness!

The Queen must be aMUSEd....I know I am highly entertained by this piece of art! You never fail to amaze me dear Benji. :) xo

[kublakhan27]

Haha When you're gob-stopped in your reviews, I'm usually gob-stopped in my response Mrs.R...the terms tend to go hand-in-hand but you know the side I affiliate with the most...it's not the genius side ;)

I have no idea what got a hold of me with this one...well there was inspiration obviously, but I definitely wound up transcending it to a degree that I was totally unprepared for...I think I found a rabbit hole inside the rabbit hole, where remnants of Oz were hiding...but when the muse speaks you listen ;)

So glad you were entertained by this one love...I do consider this one more entertaining than artistic, but as long as you enjoyed it, you know that's all that matters :) xo

[Frieda P]

You know it's always my pleasure, you make me smile and tilt my head in perplexed awe at the same time. I forgot to say, that was one of my sister's favorite songs...Lee loved the police. Every little thing she did was magic...good stuff Benji! :) xo

[kublakhan27]

That makes me happy love, she was certainly magical...perhaps another Benji hunch :) xo
