Reserata Carcerem XLV
Sassy sword ere was bruised blitzkrieg;
tainted torment taunting torn spree –
‘n la-de-da lust ‘n’ rust’c rage was sh’ draped;
doleful elysian -sworn swig sh’ craved.
E’en adawed sh’ grit cum bounty bliss;
athwart threw her lusty limbs flit,
smothering swoon numbed nature leased;
porous Peace’s pursuivant ‘n gaunt glee.
Anon, rolled b’ as Earth’s foams a queer;
cunctipotent kine time did spit.
Challenged h’ sassy sword t’ sewn scrimmage.
“I’m basked ‘n ire”, his larynx’s rage.
Sassy sword smothered b’ porous pride
embraced th’ call, quotient queer marred his life.
