Desperation fuels Go Fund Me campaign

Desperation fuels Go Fund Me campaign

Desecration, desertion, designation,
yours truly doth poetically dislodge
destabilization, destination, description
I auto deftly, but did not dodge

regarding destitution, hodgepodge
comprising 2009 Hyundai Sonata
wheely tired to noodge, yet cannot
drive out accursed tread
full fate, nor outdodge.

Critical breakdowns spanned decks
cumulative deleterious effects,
thus versatile reasonable rhyme I flex
cuz, methinks paragon of evil spirit did hex

issued hardened, gnarled, index
finger pantomiming strangling necks
accountable incorporating potential
yet steered clear dire wrecks.

Approximately August 2018
to present i.e. January 2, 2020):
one malfunction after
another did not abate
voluntarily listed quasi alphabetically

in order demonstrate
pennilessness incurred courtesy
every red cent, I did hate
to squeeze out checking account, irate

mood a one worded understatement,
nonetheless I venerate
to express absolute zero
tolerance to communicate
quick succession prohibitive
mechanical malfunctions,
I painfully delineate.

R&R PARKING BRAKE SHOES
PARK BRAKE SHOES
PARK BRAKE HARDWARE KIT BATTERY
PRE CER BRAKE PAD
BRAKE ROTOR
BRAKE CALIPER
BRAKE HOSE GENERATOR
SHOCK ABSORBER (driver side front),
TIRES (and sensor).

Hence prayerful notion woke
ah, think blinding and
ear splitting thunderstroke,
perhaps tardily to one slow poke
after eyes bugged out of head espying
invoice(s), I lamely mumbled okey doke,
what more could be said,
dang, me experienced ministroke,

thus doggone divine intervention
futility aye feebly did invoke,
the aforementioned summarized
list bloke not surprisingly
depressing state affects
garden variety bloke,
understandable a worse than
(think) one who gasps and doth choke

I have to say: WOW! 

Between you and Tony, I don't know which of you are the best word smiths. I gave you a 5 star rate, even though I'm having a hard time understanding what I'm reading. So, tomorrow, after I give my eyes a rest from reading all day. I'll return and do some vocabular word look ups, so that I can give you a proper review. Thanks for encouraging me to learn more vocabular words. It's a great skill to have in this business. 

Just incredible!

the uplifting (er uber ego boosting) percolates into the subterranean realm where fifty plus shades of gray matter manifest which wonderful dreams of mine get made - courtesy your praiseworthy treasured feedback, yours truly (me) looks forward on a daily basis.

no requisite stricture ordains thee to sprinkle recent poetic posts of yours truly (please check out the latest endeavor afixed cosmofunnel homepage), and try to avoid experiencing frazzled cerebral a numbing sensation. that's only natural for those brave souls flailing within a plethora of overgrown verbiage. no deliberate objective nudges me along the chaotic, frenetic, kaleidoscopic, opportunistic thought provoking jaunt to incorporate whatever words occur.

I try to avoid heavily, mentally, or unnecessarily editing, cuz the stream of conscious (of times petering into a figurative oxbow lake) allows, enables, and provides uncensored insight regarding one bipedal hominid traipsing along the super highway of broken and missing links.

truth be told, a palpitation sends me into a pleasant tizzy upon espying regular messages, though I reckon how continuity can suddenly stop for no rhyme, reason, nor explanation, the downside surfing the net.

I'm truly at a lost for words. 
When you mention the stream of consciousness, it clicked in me. Yes, you just allow your thoughts to flow out of you like a facet with words, phrases and inspiration. 

Your writing style is so unique. I wasn't sure how to write you a review. Other than to tell you, I'm inspired by your level of understanding and even more so for the words that you have accumulated in a life time of reading, (I'm guessing) you have read quite a lot. 

Who is your favorite authors? Or poets? 
Just curious. 

Thank you again. 
One day, to have half of your vocabular. Wow.

moo chow grassy us for repeatedly wreck commending by unfiltered, unexpurgated and uncensored blather, which dalliance with the English language I scare up to help me remain sane when countless automotive travails undermine ambition to remaining financially. also... interestingly enough, I find most poetic (flash fiction also attempted - if interested a sample could be sent free of charge), bursts within thy noggin whenever unbearable (think suicidal ideation induction) extreme anguish pinpointed fairly and squarely upon the dood (winking) 2009 Hyundai Sonata, which purging, (albeit figuratively, though anorexia nervosa haint looking so far fetched - this cuz yours truly  feels all walls around him pressing closer.

aside from the aforementioned woe..., I could not be happier, especially when receiving priceless praiseworthy heartfelt compassion from thee lovely gal!

thank ye for unwittingly uplifting my down in the junkyard sinking spirits!
