Seraphim Poem by M S Newhadney

Seraphim



Voidward, Sindark, starknell, Seraphim
Wow! Weird words woven in each other
Neither librarian nor dictionary can help
To figure them out, you have to ask him
All against Imagists' instructions
- Where is common language? -
Poem needs to alter its definitions!
Will intellect select help?
Can we get out of the vague cage?
Look! One of the words shaken
Burden of ambiguity, taken
Scorpions shout: send me an angel!
Calm down singer! I said
Look the last word, it's indeed an angel!
Coming down from heaven with a mantel red
No one can't help watching, even dead
This is Seraphim! Don't hesitate to ask him!
Said player of Being wearing bloody red
But I extremely fear of him
It may be a devil in disguise
Like a child I take refuge in bosom of my mom, kim
Although it's against what done by all other guys
