Lush, verdant
The albatross became bodacious…
Oh beauteous verse to mine ear dost lend, but,
What purpose dost the albatross serve?
Does it represent a regal scoundrel, a prince amongst the gulls
Or perhaps just a glimpse of white amongst the green?
And how came it be bodacious?
Art thou bold, oh bird, to make thine artist describe thee as such?
Dost thou steal and pilfer, to earn ye such a name?
Thy mysterious ways have caused no little confusion to thine observers.
And what have ye to say to such accusations?
Louder, my bird, louder!
What?! Doest thou naught but squawk? Come bird, do thy kind better.
I knowest not how thou came to be called bodacious.
Thou, who canst neither speak nor be clever,
Thou who is but a dumb bird and used for naught.
Thee I do banish from this verse
Thee who only dost mars it and wrecks thy country’s beauty.
Farewell young bird, who canst do good, I leave thee forever by the sea.
Lush, verdant
The elephant…
Aie! When will the injustice given this poor pen end?

I'd like to see the line, "Out, vile jelly! Where is thy splendour now?" in poetry, but I suppose you're not the one to ask. That was nice.
ewwwwwww.... i'm glad cornwall dies...nope, sorry, can't put that in (unless, of course, I am moved to write about obstinate jam)
I haven't done enough reading apparently. I needed to look up words on websters... It sounded nice to read. :-)
Hope you can come to the Pride & Prejudice Showing tomorrow..
I'm sorry I can't come--I had already planned something. I hope you have fun and a lot of people. It's really good, but nothing tops the original
perhaps about a jar that won't come open?
sounds good. maybe you should write it : )
Hey Elisabeth. Blogging seems like fun. I really want one. I like the poem even better than the first time I read it.
I'm guessing this is a sister...which one?? (if not, sorry)
It's Hannah-See ya later
