Brilliant, grandiloquent, magnificent, trenchant...

albeit modest word zealot

Writing prompts burst asunder
snap, crackle, and sweet Mary poppin
within me scrambled noggin

witnessing yours truly to blunder
blindly along this dark and stormy night

deafening soundcloud roared
with apocalyptic thunder

'course only audible to yours truly,
I did dumbfoundedly bred wonder...

 

At some o'clock

tick tocking hours brisk

(quite chilly temperatures)

April seventeenth -Easter Sunday
two thousand twenty two

when Church law

obliges Roman Catholics

to receive Holy Communion

simultaneous blinding fiery kindling
quickening xing risk

within winkin blinkin and nod,
I feared full light of day brainstorm

snatched away courtesy invisible whisk

broom all those potential
ideas sprung while
Messiah by George Frideric
Handel's never out of style

within cerebral nooks and
crannies (think Ohiopyle),
whereby Youghiogheny River
bubbles, gurgles, fuels river mile

after mile harnesses and doth generate

approximately twelve Megawatts

of electricity per hour, to alleviate

domestic counting eight
thousand homes necessitate

distributed across western
and central Pennsylvania
nearly pristine land
where many local legends
never go out of style.

 

Bigfoot looms large here,

but other cryptids, or animals

also believed to inhabit the state.

 

Featured prominently include:
the gigantic Broad Top Snake,

the bizarre Dogman

of Westmoreland County,

and Bessie, Lake Erie’s resident monster.

 

Reports of giant attacking thunderbirds,

bloodsucking wolfmen, and mischievous,

mine-dwelling Tommyknockers

round out the list.

 

Analogous catching

salmon slippery as an eel

(if curious don't take my word,
which might not appeal)

though yours truly
offers no guarantee,
you could easily fall

overboard as ye kneel,

which subsequently offers
live human meal

to hungry sharks, impossible mission
to escape no matter
how loud you squeal,

bouquets delphiniums and daisies

designate watery grave site
dissolving blood amidst the color teal.
