Woes of wonder-fins


See his woes of willing wont.
Wonder-fins the yonder yokes.
Believe in liver leaves
Befriend the sinner sieves.
Indeed – his did of deeds,
will see the don’t in stars.
Bar the best, cause far out west.
Forever never seeds to see.
that popper hope of tweezers’ hat.

I just played around and did a second for my own prompt at dVerse.

  1. To me, the finest philosophy floats to the surface in poetry like this. It’s like abstract paintings; different imagery speaks to different people, saying different things.

    “Believe in liver leaves
    Befriend the sinner sieves.
    Indeed – his did of deeds,
    will see the don’t in stars”
    I think this is amazing. Absolutely chilling. It completely wakes me up, which most poetry doesn’t really do. I guess I’m the opposite of most poetry lovers; I get excited when it doesn’t make sense.

    “Forever never seeds to see” … I need to make this my mantra. Someone could write a book on what you’re saying here. Really, I may need to tattoo this somewhere. 🙂

  2. I like your style in writing these. Cryptic and yet there seems a hidden message, a meaning, especially in these perhaps not so random word choices:
    “Believe in liver leaves
    Befriend the sinner sieves.
    Indeed – his did of deeds,
    will see the don’t in stars.”
    Especially liking the third line of this.

  3. These phrases flow together so nicely. The way they sound matches the character in the picture. I can imagine what his voice would sound like and hear him saying this.
