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.

Mull

" Mull "

by Suzan Jivan

No passion
no oomph
not much
to chew on
or mull over
from flexing muscles
to strutting stuff
down to the minimum
held together
with double bubble
blown up.

Spout

" Spout "

by Suzan Jivan

Bold-faced slogans
splashed across
glossy tabloids
spout the usual
starkly chaotic
argotic jargon.

Pounding

" Pounding "

by Suzan Jivan

Preparing various scenarios
of spray-tanned pandering
with shady stylings
of hypermasculinity
in stilted rhythms
of iron fists
as the anithesis
of the requisite
femme fatale
in a fervent strut
when pumped up
in red-leather stilettos.

Evergreen

" Evergreen "

by Suzan Jivan

Evergreen
is a tree
growing
in an
aggregate
of the maximal
with the minimal
in a series
of zeroes
plus ones.

Steadfast

" Steadfast "

Monolithic couples
halo themselves
with incandescence
after steadfast
and colorfast pairings
produce male heirs.

Bigness

" Bigness "

by Suzan Jivan

With little hints
it will stem
measures
to dispel
high levels
of cause-
and-effect
from major
addresses
filled with
diminished
confidence
in the viability
of bigness
combined
with the
lowering
of interest.

Tamped

" Tamped "

by Suzan Jivan

Bridging the dissolve
between mile-high skyscrapers
and tamped-down atmospheres
from cramped tenement squares.

Takes

" Takes "

by Suzan Jivan

Amazing takes
in innovation
side-by-side
sloe-eyed
dreamlike.

Opening

" Opening "

by Suzan Jivan

More single minded
with glinting wit
repeatedly reappearing
from the fog
of an opening sequence
entering freely.

Testy

" Testy "

by Suzan Jivan

Questioning credentials
under increasing pressure
setting up the end game
in a testy pre-election debate.

Sheer

" Sheer "

by Suzan Jivan

A strong hand
seemingly aloof
for a rescue
whose sheer size
was meant to soothe
the huge fiscal issues
fomenting unrelenting
economic distress.
