The Gone-Too-Far Kitchen (Free verse) by ?-Dave_Mysterious-?
Xylophone on the rocks, Pronounces its jangling wisdom, Whilst a passing politician, Dines on quail's brine and rye. Charles had become gravely yet unwittingly forsoothed, Athough his clockwork-laced innards, Had yet to imply the true extent of this, Save in the slightest of digestive suggestions. You see, a backspace is eternally depressed, Drowned in the sanguine depths, Of illiterate logic, A child's voice is heard nonetheless. Thank providence for that one lone call, Of the faraway amber rogue, Describing the agony of his swollen spleen, Or, as it is often known, the Delaware Tree.

Down the ladder: again

Hey, I know I joke around a bit, but I've decided to try and write a serious poem for once. I'm quite pleased with the result. I hope you will enjoy it too.

Dave gave you a zero because he's mysterious! Like a woman's vagina.

It would be mysterious, coming from someone excreted from his mothers arse.

You see, a backspace is eternally depressed,
Submerged deep in the sanguine depths,
Of illiterate logic,
A child's voice is heard nonetheless.

--nice, very nice. Actually Dave, your humor has, in the past, inspired me to not take things so seriously.

Good stuff.

nice and enjoyable, but you couldn't help but throw in a little wit, anyhow.
I am the finest wit in all of Gloucestershire!

No, seriously, I think it adds to the swarthy nature of the tale.

Pretty excellently done. Wonderful language use and the thing is polished up quite nicely.

the use of "sanguine" gives me a little pause though - I can appreciate the aliteration it gives, and I see you've tied it in with the last stanza - but I just can't roll over it. Prolly just me. Maybe it's *because* of the alliteration with "submerged"? Maybe swap out submerged instead?

Hmm, I can't really see the problem. I might leave that line as it is. What about "drowned in the sanguine depths"?

Do you think I should make it a sonnet?

I thought it was a sonnet.

I like the drowned better - but like I said, might just be me.
