Jean Savory savoried her way
down the dipstick nines,
slave to fashion,
romance novelist of the royal
climes, formulaic
congress after the egress -
a thrifty mess indeed -
chatter-worthy
back door mamas
in they classic poils,
inching their ways into
the deep ends,
bicameral ration toadies,
casual spelunkers,
situational ethics take a back seat
to page 79,
a mighty hurrah
for petty metals - since
you were asking -
dribble that sauce over
your past tense
vegematics:
the last clime was
roses and tartan plaid,
a carousing tarantella -
page 152 might have
grown an inch or two -
she was ever not when
she was naughty, it figured
gaily into the margins

for error -
grace on 193,
afterwhich aftertimes twas
anyone's guess,
your burden,
his sancho panza
their missing person,
her inarticulate, ghostwriterly, astro-criminal
crimes.

ok, so Bryan Ferry is perfect here; also, all the clipped short e sounds. Just right for a bite-sized romance: dessert.

Anno:

Stumbled across the name of paperback romance novelist Jeanne Savery. Had to spruce up her spelling, but I couldn't resist. Crazy where poems (okay, my crazy poems) come from.

And here I thought you were working on syllabi for next fall and got mixed up with heat stroke!

Syllabi? Next fall? Sista T, still operating under the florid delusion of the endless summer!
