Recipe for Frustration (Inspired by RhymeLovingWriter's Discordant Discourse)

[DWAYNE]

Pause.
Just long enough
to cast aspersion.
Misconstrue,
then rephrase
in a bastardized version.
A complete disdain
for sober reflection.
Narcissistic intoxication
with ones own reflection.
The verbal equivalent
of a street fight.
Molotov cocktails...
in search of a light.

NOTE:

This poem was inspired by RhymeLovingWriter's, Discordant Discourse, a wonderfully eloquent, distillation of the current state of political discourse.

I highly recommend reading, and re-reading that excellent work!

Nicely done Dwayne. Loved narcissistic intoxication.

[Suz-zen]

I am with ALT!! Narcissistic intoxication
with ones own reflection.

I liked this one DWAYNE

[MHenry]

Love, this, Dwayne, especially Molotov cocktails in search of a light!

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Bravo DWAYNE! I love your interpretation of this - though the 'on-pointedness' of it makes me sad it could be modeled on real-life. I sort of felt the same while writing my own. I like both of the passages highlighted above - and more - especially starting with 'Pause' because I did!

if only you could read this at the next debate!
