Divine angelic embodiment...

amazingly graced yours truly -

Divine angelic embodiment...

And the missus earlier today
December thirtieth two thousand nineteen
ah... charming angelic gal heaven sent
voluntarily drove us from CJ's
(2009 Hyundai Sonata needs alternator)
1405 S Township Line Road,

Royersford, PA 19468
to 2 Highland Manor drive
Schwenksville, Pennsylvania 19468
upon overhearing conversation
whereby our 2009 Hyundai Sonata
necessitated replaced alternator.

Thus toting another mortal
(worth her weight in gold)
random act of kindness to behold
I felt incumbent to repay,
yet no money in billfold

thus random stranger
need be given and/or told
pro bono favor, lest
good nature within me will scold

Matthew Scott Harris,
perhaps even exact chokehold
regarding being recipient
exhausting list to enumerate,

yet nonetheless manifold
instances since boyhood
until thyself languishing
and getting farblondjet and old.

Found friends, Romans, teaser
countrymen... (think Julius Caesar,
salad days by William Shakespeare
if alive, a very old geezer
occurring in Act III, scene II),
perhaps also incorporating Ebenezer
Scrooge as greater dramatic pleaser.

I feel farblondget, farchadat,
fardeiget, and stymied
as cumulative intercessors
when this schlemiel in need
especially when a wee thing

how eldest and youngest sister indeed
countless occasions far exceed
ding dewey decimal, emotional,
financial, remuneration recompense
such focus on self, I willingly concede

at this age (scoring few till orbitz) read
ding those earlier years of mein kampf
in retrospect this bloke now freed
with less self centeredness and greed.

Another fantastically worded poem.

I hope everyone at Cosmofunnel, will read a few of your poems and write you more reviews because your work stands out. Like a diamond in the ruff.
​​​​​​​
I can see between the lines, through the spaces of time, to discover a wonderful secret that lies beneath the surface -- and erupts like a volcano, to finding a poet that has such a keen eye and rich attention paid to detail, to words and to the connections in and around the world.

I'm just so impressed. I was trying to write you a poem and went on a little tangent instead. No matter what words come to mind, the only word that showcases your particular writing style is: 

Wow.

I can hardly restrain swirling euphoric mindset, where illogical jumbled thought processes kickstarts linkedin leapfrogging whims all pointing to thee, no doubt an angelic mortal long fostering entrancing, fascinating, GALvanizing, harmonizing, integrating joie de  vivre, a veritable Weltanschauung.

Despite experiencing favorable intimations of thee. I cannot escape doldrum mood (particularly necessity to spend over six hundred dollars yesterday - January third twenty twenty for replacement of new alternator allowing necessary local travel more so personal medical reasons. Meager finances sent plummeting deep within red zone. Hence gloomy and forlorn dystopian poem

the insignificance of man

blunt deadly weapons 
of mass destruction 
electrify, fracture, and 
jeopardize Homo Sapiens
species (and entire biosphere) 
continuity rent asunder 
doomsday declared (nuclear winter
 
gallows humor spelt 
with eternal snow day)
dystopian authors outflanked
nuclear fallout wreaks worst 
rocky horror picture 
effected upon mankind 

global (worldwide) 
big screen radioactive
wee willy weber webbing 
material severely seared
sepsis poisons deoxyribonucleic
acid future generations 
organic fiber cursed 

simultaneous single simulcast 
broadcast airs live
audience participation demanded
bumping ugly fleshless 
formed fruitless fatal fumes

anomalies all - blinded 
beastial begotten bemoan
brethren brood 
brutal burnt offerings

crackling, snapping, 
and popping surreal muck
shapeless liquified populace 
sloshing helter skelter

quests slither towards 
aimless destination  
bone a fied skeleton crews cruise 
crying cretins creep cavalierly 

crepuscular cratered city 
cruel mushroom clouds 
cloaked croaking cellophane charred
cancerous lumps career, 

clomp continuously
chaos charts choking climate
cold comfort commanded collusion
commander in chief concurred.

ye = a gem, aye relish to befriend, and realize how tenuous the thread constituting electronic connection, nor do I push the metaphorical beyond the comfort zone. you need not promise me anything, but the mere awareness of your being fills my body, mind and spirit with bliss.
