Aviary (N + 7)

Her lethal workforce

That always hit the bullion’s eyelid

Are missing their tart

Each single strategy of her triathlon

Is hissing towards her needle woman

To pour venue

Medusa is trapped

In her own quietism of sticky life

Fragrant tuba blooms

                                  

As you sow so you reap

Addictions are not so cheap

 


Posted for MTB where the prompt is to write Oulipo poems


The original poem:


Autocrat

Her lethal words

That always hit the bull’s eye

Are missing targets

Each single strand of her tress

Is hissing towards her neck

To pour venom

Medusa is trapped

In her own quicksand of sticky lies

Fragrant truth blooms

                      

As you sow so you reap

Adages are not so cheap
