Not Nearly
By odetobarbie
artless madness
spilling into
journalistic morass
rhymes, nearly enough
Dr. Pepper toes
smashing on
Hollywood kisses
smarts, nearly enough
jokerman chitterchatters
hovering above
shallow abysmals
lost, nearly enough
swanky bars
tearing away
tired plotlines
drunk, nearly enough
action words
stopping under
passé soundtracks
move, nearly enough
limitless imagination
fading across
selfish grandiosity
lies, nearly enough
charming sights
glimmering over
words too soon
love, nearly enough

Seriously though, I love the way you tickle the mind with possibilities of implied meaning, and such unique metaphor and juxtaposition that somehow confuses and makes sense at the same time. I actually could never write something like this, but I am glad you can. Your work always leaves me wanting more.
