Festooned Man Poem by Naveed Akram

Laid out by the festooned man,
The front road was a double avenue;
The festooned man carried moss on his chin
With wide eyes, and compounds of course.

Certain lotions needed adding to the gentleman,
With fearsome times on this horizon;
Laid out by the man of many colours,
A rainbow defended the land with the sea.

Your man perched on the line
Is sounding alert, detached and misaligned;
Your terrifying man, destitute and scared,
Scares us well above the normal level.

He is laying out a front road of picture-perfect
Quality; it is overgrown and funny with moss,
Like his beard and all the festooned man's body,
The body of diseases and ailments always contagious.
