John Pursch - Nine Poems

***

1. Ad Lib

Synchronized 

swimmers 

turn to water 

in public ad lib.

***

2. Gladiolas

Springing moot hind oiler saw, 

peachy oaken nuptials, 

orange in ipso catered seizure, 

orphaned gladiolas. 

***

3. Groceries in August

  

I see a gal, a sea,

an omnivalent census 

of groceries in August.

***

4. Illicit Hips

Drip a dollop, 

draft illicit hips a solid, 

foment auction open road 

gorilla motive amateur. 

***

5. Marzipan

  

Oats now 

glistening,

snow white 

over marzipan! 

***

6. Mauve Ouches

  

Thinking mouth 

of crawlspace 

mutters lunacy 

in mauve ouches. 

***

7. Nomenclature

  

Fading out by radio, 

secondhand illusion

melts in iron 

nomenclature. 

***

8. Snow Knew What

  

Snow knew what 

to turn on mid-life 

faucet cut to 

consequences. 

***

9. Zoot Elan Kerplunk

  

Chi-squared prolapse 

inner freak 

dominates blue 

cormorant.
