It's a boomdazzle and a pull out
quick before we're caught!
It's a dorazzle on a gumdrop
red bobble-lights have sought
out new and inventive
ways to up and die
the shoulcoulwoulds
should have said good bye
Streamlined dreaming on a pulsified pillow
festering, gestering, under limbs of stunted willow
The wells dried up a'int nothing more than crud
boogery and blasphemy won't bring down any floods
It's the book of revelations
and our lack of true salvation
when we don't got words to read
It's riled up discrimination
big words like festeration
that make us up and bleed
Still we fight the good fight
gooddoers that we are
most of those who been educated
are left with only scars.
It's Poetics at dVersePoets today, and Anna Montgomery of Chromatopia is treating us to some serious word play. You're welcome to join in...but for the love of all that is good and pure...leave spell check at home! ;)

shoulcoulwoulds...ha...great mash up word there...and i dont want them...smiles...love that revelation stanza....and fight the good fight is the best we can do and hope it makes a small difference in the long run...smiles.
I think many of us are haunted by shoulcoulwoulds (I like your word); and as far as revelations it's a book I really don't understand. I think we all 'fight the good fight' as best we can.
Oh... I mean really super cool and clever with an enticing flow, very very nicely done.
This is awesome Tash, the to and fro sway has incredible energy. Great smashups, especially shoulcoulwoulds as I know those only too well. I've got lots of scars :).
This is a sheer treat to read aloud.. I especially like the third stanza.
what a boomdazzle post Tash ~ It is fierce, good fight by gooddoers ~

Love the werds. You badish poeticmomma of the literary kind.
That was lingusitic cotten candy for my mouth, you had me at "boomdazzle!"
I fell in love with gooddoers. Not sure why that one particularly, for a lot of good things here.
Shoulcouldwoulds are killers, for sure. Pulsified! Boomdazzle! Wonderful stuff. Thank you.
Lovely lot of playaway words
pulsified pillow made me think of pussified pillow (now, would that mean the feline slept on it or....) ;)
bonus track
Oh this is pure fun, not festeration! Awesome jabber job, the wockiest! :)
Wow! my mouth had so much fun with that!
fantastic word creations here, very neat yet easily understood, I just love the way this one reads. Excellent piece. Thanks
Hiya,
Your jolly choice of words belies the dark topics. I was lulled into fun and games but then forcefully woken up.
