Jonathan ROBIN Poems

'A's' parting shots lack credibility
when 'B' plays deaf to what the former says,
dismisses pat, claps pat on back, gainsays
hurt's authenticity as tiresome bee
...

POMME D'ACCORD ET RACCORD DE LA POMME
L’appel

râpe pèle
...

Oh, what avails a pretty face
with beauty creams besprinkled,
for Father Time wins every race,
soon age Life’s page has wrinkled.

WED DIN STALE SNAIL MAIL TRAIL TALE
Female/Male Hail Hale Gale Rale Ale Bail Pail Jail Ail Frail Quail Fail Nail: Stale Trail Scale Snail Mail Tale
...

Has 'Chance' ever sought to undo
Events it engenders, whose aim
Links Cause and Effect, threads into
Eternity, treads till Time's claim
...

One heart feels finger tapping
deep spring of wisdom wide,
one heart feels finger mapping
bright spirit from inside,
...

HAPPY FAMILIES

Pater: Sire sired, now unrequired and unrequited.
Mater: Once round, ground down, now underground.
...

HALLOWEEN


Witches weaving through the air,
...

Sprinkle drinkle in the bar
how I wonder what side car
I’ll rush into as some knight
whets my blurry appetite.
...

PLEASE NOTE:
PH formatting does not permit colour coding the palimpsests thus the different layouts of individual internal acrostics can for the moment only be identified in transposing every letter onto squared paper

The surface sonnet is thus online for the record as neither the vertical, diagonal or internal acrostics nor the anagrams are visible. A formatted version is online at http: //allpoetry.com/poem/2479961
