Effervescence Lost

Everman was everthere at Evermore with everone
And faeries danced on lightning strokes
Enchanting all the largest blokes
Til Eustice captured one by wing and tail

Evermore was eversad at everthing in evertime
And hollered fits in ancient tongues
Shout the curse from  ladder rungs
And searchers took no time to unfurl sail

EverKing was everkind but everspoke of nevermore
That man and light will ever meet
Dance in kind in the village street
Forever hidden masked by magic’s’ veil

  1. Hey, a little soundcloud playlist thingy! How did you do that? The Fit is still my favourite :)

    And how cool is this poem? Everman was everthere at Evermore with everone... Too, too clever.

    I'm poem-jealous of this one, as Izy would say!

  5. anything that evokes feelings of reading about those rapscallions in Neverland is a win for me. i love the rhythm and rhymes in this! feels like you could go on and write many more stanzas of this story.

  6. I also love the rhythm of this. It might be titled "Effervescence lost" but the rhythm makes my blood tingle effervescently.
    I listened to (surprise, surprise) "You Smell Like Mexico" and I love your guitar—sounds Mexican but not Spanish, if you know what I mean.

  9. This is way to close to a tongue twister for me... I "stuttered" over it just reading it silently. :)

  13. Wow, amazing. This makes me want to reread A Midsummer Night's Dream...and anyone who can evoke Shakespeare in me deserves applause! Probably my favorite poem of yours I've read yet.
