Brazen

" Brazen "

by Suzan Jivan

With brazen abandon
trimming the gem-
rich nib with poorly-
timed micro-
management
perpetuating
underestimation
and overstatement.

Emblems

" Emblems "

by Suzan Jivan

Headings in several
promising directions
opening flood gates
as tracings of emblematic waves
in intrepid creations from the wakes
of indigo strokes on bounding pages.

Wary

" Wary "

by Suzan Jivan

Wary eyes
as economies slide
alighting skiddishly
on tiny figures
and minimal still lives.

Dread

" Dread "

by Suzan Jivan

Repeatedly pressing
fear sending
chaos spreading
market recession
dreaded depression
stomach-churning pressure.

Pizazz

" Pizazz "

by Suzan Jivan

Hard new look
exhuming
back-to-the-future
smart mouthed
and shaggy haired
with post-bailout pizazz.

Prizeworthy

" Prizeworthy "

by Suzan Jivan

Sophisticated havens
for flourescent mutations
lighting up a mouse's brain
with originations from a
jellyfish's light-emitting shapes.

An Edge

" An Edge "

by Suzan Jivan

Given an edge
by a bone of
contention
over the
objection
of an
injection
into the
economic
tempest
in exchange
for a
personal
preference
of vexing
intelligence.
