always bullet-proof – that mandatory glass
but it’s penetrated by malicious spam
from that indigo-shadowed business
when this electronic bound allegory rises
in cyber attacks from vitiligo fatsos
by exercising careful ominous dare
I shut my world from anti-pimple adverts
my inexpensive scotch sends messiah warmth
so I can leave through your luminous door
as an outcast with unloyal pariah burns
barbiturate clean my pernicious plate
as I pay tribute with American Express
to a hacker – my bespectacled fortuna
I write agreements on capricious slates
and swallowed’s another epochal persona
Today Anthony host dVerse poetics and want us to use words from the following list..
Messiah,Allegory, Luminous, Plate, Shadow, Door, Persona, Glass. Vitiligo, Epochal, Pernicious, Warmth we should use at least 5 out of the 12, but I used them all I think..

Yes Bjorn, I think you did use all those words and qwuite well too. >KB
Thank you.. laying puzzle is kind of fun..
Great! That was quite an accomplishment, Bjorn. Good old Brillo. What would we do without it. 🙂 —Susan
I think Andy knew how to use them best 🙂
you totally did use every word… and made damn good use of em too… I read this twice; so uniquely told. While it’s a very fun read, I also found it to be quite dark… Awesome!
I find humor a great tool to convey darkness..
You have made great use of the words and have presented us with striking imagery, Björn. You seem to be exploring darker personas (or is it personae) at the moment. People we feel we’d prefer to keep clear of.
You have made great use of the words, Björn, and have ore scented us with some striking contemporary imagery. It seems you are exploring darker personas (or is it personae) at the moment.
Yes.. I think I am.. maybe it’s my own fears shining through.. and after the election results in the European elections there are lots of things to fear… I feel the breath of Ribbentrop and Molotov against democracy.
Ah, reading your previous comment gives me a clue where the poem arose from. There do seem to be quite a few malevolent hackers writing agreements on capricious slates recently. I too took note of the election.
Yes.. indeed politics is now more like computer viruses..
anti pimple adverts…ha. my first thought was you wrote this from your spam…and thank goodness for spam catchers b/c they def drop some interesting stuff…and you have to wonder if there is someone gulible enough to believe them…then again, we fall for it again and again on the political spectrum…
If it would have been from my Spam filter.. it would have been different I’m afraid..
you know.. i didn’t even check out how the election results are…ugh…shame on me… but def. scares me a bit as well how things try to get out of control a bit in europe… well played björn and great use of the words
It has been so high on my mind lately.. France and Greece especially..
Smiles. I especially liked that messiah-like warmth you got from that cheap scotch. Great use of the words.
I think a scotch like that works for the evening but not in the morning.
talk about edgy poetics, brother, you got down hard, using all dozen words like golden bitch-slaps; & the blank verse came across hot, like beat poetry, like righteous rapping; really dug your audacity, sir.
yes.. I tried a little slant rhymes to get that feeling..
This has great cadence, and it works so well with your meaning, really adds to the piece. Loving the contrasts of how we all used the same words, fascinating.
thank you Kelly.. yes it turned out quite diverse.
Bravo! Yep, beat poetry right there, and a great message, undoubtedly.
Yes.. a needed message..
Clever pairing of words Bjorn – pernicious plate, epochal persona, luminous door ~ Reading the above comments gave me further insight on your side of the world ~ I need to check on those elections results ~
France and Greece was especially concerning.
Yes! wonderful! and beautifully written my friend.
We both speak the same language when it comes to writing and words. Awesome my friend. 🙂
I thought these words would be you… I get the feeling you use that techinique…
i’m so jealous… what a challenge
🙂 I love wordplay.
Great use of the words and very clever.
Thank you Ayala..
Clever & potent use of the words.
Thank you..:-)
Bjorn..great job weaving those words with threads of darkness..
I had fun writing it… though it also addressed some dark matters
“my inexpensive scotch sends messiah warmth” Loving these abstractish poems (I’m too “tightly” wound to create abstract, I think 🙂 I went for light – you darkness. (a nice contrast)
I tend to go for darkness a lot.. maybe it’s my cheerful way that make the dark nature needed.
Ah ! Such great toying with the words and such fun read too, smiles. I quite enjoyed the diversity you build in here.
Diversity is good..
the poem made me think twice with such collaboration of words
Thank you.. they are great friends – my words
Kudos..to you for using all those words to weave such a beautiful poem:)
Fabulous…love the title and it’s almost a tongue twister it reads so fast. Really enjoyed reading this. Excellent!
This is something unique….reads so well……….. great!
The tingling of warmth with the scotch can lead to lots of freedom in thinking and inspiration. True in some instances. Great take Bjorn!
Hank
Very impressive use of the words.
You had me at “vitiligo fatsos”…didn’t see that coming, but it made me smirk. Congrats on using all the words!
Great rhythm and so much is said in this poem.
I enjoyed your reading Bjorn and the imagery…well done!!
What a great way yo use ALL of the words to make this biting commentary about modern living. 🙂
The Brillo picture really rounded off the poem…great satirical write
I don’t know about Brillo…but, first I thought it was the spam folder of your blog site….then I understood. Clever use of all the words.
