Dolphin in Devil's Jeans
He was
but a Neon Tetra
Dancing
To the music
Of Frank Sinatra
Wrapped in
Gold fish
Fins and Discus
Rims, moving
To the groovy
Tunes of
Gourami Pins,
Covered
In Guppy
feathers
in ecstasy
he stood,
When she
Came and split
The tether,
Broke his
bone
to jitters….
And left him
Gasping for
Breath in
A rotting
gutter
She is
But a dolphin
Clad in
Devil’s jeans,
her iron fins
swaying
she came,
choked
And broke
His head
to trillions…
Her stylishly
Malevolent
Dolphin lips
Sucked
every bliss
Out of his
Dreary brains,
turned his
Merry lake
In to a rotting cake
and left him
for dead
with lake
full of
Maggot
pretties

Amazingly contrived Shash and it led me down the page of shock! Images that only you dare to write leave your mark of brilliance. Turning her into dolphin who is not gentle but evil upset my love of dolphins (lol) never mind, I know you bring your poems to life in a most unusual way...
You have quite an imagination and this flows with an upbeat rhythm.
I was eating a blackforest cake when I read this and it turned me into a werewolf and enjoyed it more crunchin' the cherries.. luv it luv it..maggots an' all...regards
Only a mind like yours could think up such fantastic imagery Shan - - it always amazes and totally mesmerizes with your choice of phrasing. Another gem.
Superb is my word of choice. Dark yet with a difference i would opine...crafted beautifully as it should be.
Awesome, Shan. I always try to figure out the origin of the mindblowing effect that your poems have on me and never quiet do. There's work of magic methinks. :)Adored this dark love story. Wow.
A tongue-twisting, heart-rending, linguistic, dark delight of a poem that only you could have written, Shan... thoroughly entertaining!!
Your dark imagery is enchanting and unique... A unique beauty of words... Like vampires... But yours is a better way of putting the truth... Love it.. Love the style of it... Crispy indeed...
i could visualise her Shan...you use dark colored imageries...honest- as usual stunning
I think I am a Dolphin in Devil's Jeans...After reading this I can't help confessing...I love the imagery so darkly presented here Shan and it is so well written you see that it makes a saint confess lol :-) Intelligent stuff as always..
