Our dashboard Jesus cackle vividly
unscrewing bottled geyser-tears champagne
as B2 bombers cry shamefacedly
we burn the angel’s wings in peace campaigns
bereft of dignity the horse-faced man
release ignition to another bomb
peony petals for a force-graced nance
who perfume-tenderly will smother dad
we cross the sea on rental-Buick wings
and play backgammon with our icicles
so please my friends: meet broomstick-Gwyn
whose curses melt electric bicycles
so let us mix a salmagundi cure
remove forever Humpty-Dumpty’s lure
From Denslow’s Humpty Dumpty
Today at dVerse MTB, Claudia encourage us to use vivid and unexpected contrasts. To make the contrast to my words larger I have put it into a sonnet with slanted rhymes (my new addiction).

Wow Bjorn this is awesome… unscrewing bottled geyser-tears… playin’ backgammon with icicles… that would be quite the challenge tho… ha
I’d like to give it a try 🙂
A lot of different contrasts in that piece Bjorn. You swept over quite a range of topics. 🙂 —Susan
Yes.. many little contrasts he he..
ha. reminds me a bit of corso…which is really cool…love the dashboard jesus upfront..bomb droppers…and we all know humpty’s ultimate fate….
Indeed.. a great compliment… maybe this is the result of stealing the aged poets poem 🙂 I am 25 :
The imagery of this poem is definitely powerful and first rate, but I must take you to task for posting the disturbing egg pornography pic…
Humpty either needs to get to the gym or invest in a pair of pants
Great poetry 😉
Ha 🙂 imagine the pic was created during Victorian era
broomstick-Gwyn
whose curses melt electric bicycles…. haha… i think i don’t wanna meet her… though i’m sometimes a bit p… with electric bicycles like when they overtake you hill-up…ha…smiles.. cool take björn
I curse those bicycles overtaking me.. curse and double curse…
Creative phrases in a sonnet form ~ The first one specially struck me with: unscrewing bottled geyser-tears champagne
as B2 bombers cry shamefacedly
Maybe there’s no cure 🙂
Some thing are scary… and it all boils down to Humpty Dumpty…
Writing poetry is mostly fun, except when it isn’t–but today the fun you had with your unusual sonnet is infectious. I love an intense foray into the land of Nonsense; loved your line /as B52 bombers cry shamefacedly/; much smiling over here, brother.
Yes.. but are you sure it’s nonsense.. there might be some gems there 🙂
It gelled Bjorn! Touches of so much there, including beatniks, and those B2 bombers, amazing..
Thanks a lot man..
Yes, see, now Humpty Dumpty – I never quite trusted him… wanting the king’s horses and their men to put him back together… He shouldn’t have sat on the wall in the first place!
Humpty Dumpty was a real trickster…
Oh – I forgot – brilliantly done!
Visually brilliant! and so creatively astonishing.
I love this Flarf sonnet you’ve done. Flarf forever!
🙂
Love the Buick wings and take off with Jesus cackling. You should work up a screen play …
i had to read and re-read…and look up “salmagundi”, a real word. Amazed!
I have mixed feeling for salmagundi though…
i do like the Buick’s wings
Beautifully done Bjorn! With the designated contrasts and a difficult sonnet to boot. Great!
Hank
So many comparisons and opposites, well done Bjorn, I did like the idea of rental Buick wings…..something in that image that intrigues me.
Very creative and clever…perfume smothering dad…some actually could knock us over. 😀
“bereft of dignity the horse-faced man
release ignition to another bomb”….i don’t know why the lines conjure up an image of the slithery cold blooded reptile holding an apple in its mouth…slant rhymes in the sonnet form…wowzers!!
liked meeting your broomstick Gwyn…and rental buick wings..smiles..:)
A very cool write, Bjorn!
Bjorn – what a sonnet -crazy fun! K
WOW, you set the bar high, Bjorn–fabulous, stunning, knocked-me-over good.
Cool piece… You rally let loose with this… I suspect you had a lot of fun writing this.
