Garbled thoughts

Let me pour forth

my garbled thoughts

cloaked in clever words

scattered cleverly, following

no pattern or coherence.

My ideas squirming

swimming in a sea of words.

But my word, they seem so clever!

They shame the reader

into appreciation

As one outdoes another

in praise of gobbledygook.

I smirk as you analyze

my near schizophrenic verse.

If I spoke like that

in real life

I would be under heavy medication.

Or booed off the poetry stage

where I go to collect my prize

Smug and smiling

Egged on by your wild

appreciation.

You got that right, Harry! It would seem that way :0 The more incomprehensible, vague, in-the-air words; allusions to something perhaps only the poet can dream up/cook up, almost daring the readers to challenge the utterly chaotic utterings/mutterings. A case of the Emperor's new clothes, perhaps?
