Possibility?

Open, trying to

find freshness,

she struggles--

even near the end--

to transform, feel,

fly.

Dying Palm

Once tender,

The fronds fall,

Softly,

Sadly,

Eventually nearly tan,

Expiring tragically,

Toughened,

Fatally,

Finished.

Upon Deaf Ears

Ominously, the time falls forever silent, somehow evaporating noise that even threatened to find fulfillment.

Operatically Trembling Thankfuls

Ostentatious troubadours

Touch fine fickle saps,

Simpering extravagance

’Neath turgid epitaphs;

Throaty titillations

’Fuscating follyflaps.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Perhaps an explanation is in order: ”follyflaps” is a word which here means the feeling of unease one experiences in the tummyflops when suddenly realizing one’s own folly. Additionally, ’Fuscating, obviously short for obfuscating, is taken from the Latin “fuscus” meaning obscure, dusky, or something to do with the cover of darkness.. . Hopefully this clears up any misunderstandings resulting from my compulsion to rhyme even at the expense of formulating heretofore unknown or obfuscatery phrases, for which I am grievously and pompously apologetic.
