Excerpt
Seething Cornucopia Of Avarice
Pendulous avarice spurted at a clopping pace
And condescended me to a simpering lark
Strutting vaingloriously it wolves down the ace
And I amble about with denudate skull mark
Deranged of impeccable grace
I sheltered vulturously in the miraculous ark
Of God that undauntedly hornish my rapacious race
Cajoled oration from the pulpit set off the spark
Promises of voracious want in place
Everyone is captured wallowing in mire in the dark
In precocious attempt to be the mace
Jam-packed even on the aisle it spills to the park
Tumultuous stampede to inherit the earth smudge a smirk on the face
Ravenous vulturous want besmirch a mark
Dint of toil of the dexterous it seek to replace
As wondrous miracles peel its bark.
Mary Angela Nangini's poems celebrate the richness of life and love. From the city to cottage-country and the roads in between, Nangini explores the changing seasons of her varied region. (This book will soon be reprinted in hard cover.)
