Belt Auction

A twisted - mirror Acrostic Sestina I suppose. Comments?

100 Bucks For A Ten-Minute Gondola Ride ================================ Vulnerable they are who face her floods Engrossed in vibrant veneer views she leaves Noisome scents of swollen sea on people Inching, sinking stink in Isles this Venice Churlish clamour chasm pathways putrid Epoch clap’traps harried into crying. Fearful flee Murano’s muses crying Languor lists precariously in floods Over weights lean inwards from the putrid On woeful taxis winging them and leaves Dim gondoliers auctioning to people Summon swank to sway the swamp of Venice. Leery sketchers scribble visions Venice Err the moods with sodden canvas crying Arggh ! such drivel drippings are the people Vagrant portraits pre-empting piebald floods. Exploited, maddened many question leaves, “Shall we wend one other day so putrid” ? Pigeons launching smart bombs on the putrid Everywhere one sees this Play in Venice Oozing opal orbs their curtain leaves Poignant acts of victims’ outrage crying Liberate tears of crocodiles con floods Enter forth the fork which lore the people: Cautiously it circles in it’s people Rounding them to centres fixed for putrid “Yield not this pallid plank to liquid leaves” ! Ill-advised they cling to arms in Venice Numb are they inert thus starts the crying Genesis in a jaundiced journey floods….. Poetic bent. Mystical touring leaves. Untypical. WTF my people? Twisting, laughing,drowning, sinking, crying. Restless in washed up boxers of putrid, Indistinguishable idem – Venice! Dry eyes notta one in the freakin’ flood? Eww ickk the Valleys crying in the floods, Enter here putrid Venice – mix people! Wish not for fall of leaves, where no one leaves.

1. Proof again, that it is a VERY thin line between insanity and genius (you are dancing all over that line) pahooooooooot
2. This piece is an extra large. I'm going to admit to being rather impressed here: I'm rather impressed. Well done.
3. Ditto what hp and Mixtli said, double ditto, too! ma
4. I am going to wait till the movie comes out! lol The city of water is certainly awash with the flooding. Do the odors add to the beauty of the city? Definitely interesting wording here!
5. Phwooar - it stinks! Clever you!
6. Can you go fishing there?
7. Can you do the twist, the macarena, break dance and docie doe on the dance floor in tandem? You have unleashed a cacophony of blackbirds in the channels of my brain.. I never expected such from you.... Wow!
8. I love the 'eww ickk' part... Huh? I didn't read everything.. :)
9. Having been in Venice/Murano/Burano last year in Sept.-Oct., when the weather was beautiful and the water at a considerably lower level, I feel for those who know and love this beautiful city. With all the money they pour into wars and large hadron colliders, you'd think they could come up with a way of dealing with the high waters.
10. I bought a parasol and everything. You stinker! Okay maybe you cute stinker of medium height and bashfulness. Uproar and rain on my romantic parade along with gondolas needing paint and cleaning. Buildings awash with broken caverns could sink and sure stink. Harrumph!!
11. Dude! Just tell me you're getting royalties for this...ok?
12. what hp said. and Grazie alla tua !
13. Did you pause you breath while writing this? It seems to flow so well that I think you must not have!
14. Bravo Bravo Bravo !! I love the flattering use of the word " putrid " !! My new word of the day !! What a waste of a putrid 100 bucks !!
15. Very well written, sir : ) Are you writing all these down and assembling a book? You should
