Parapoem

Post by theirishsea »

I am not a paraclete
maybe a parachute drifting
holding this dangling poem
in the clouds
the words should be in French though
parapluie
though not that tapping rain
and whether or not the poem
will be a paragraph
but not as long as
Browning's "Paracelsus"
can't say
no, I'm a parasite
not a paragon
I'm not the parameter
upon which all parables
are measured
no, I'm a paramecium
microscopic
with little tiny hairs
cilla
not silly
just a paradoxical
searcher for paradise
which is found by
a pair of dice
snake eyes
seven eleven
a slurpee
and the paradigm
is paranormal
paraphernalia
like overextended defenses
on the parapet
excesses of arrows
shot with zinging words
porcupining
the paramount
of this poem
so far from par
excellence
your majesty
The Irish Sea Is Always In Turmoil, Even When Calm.

Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.
