F. LaManna

A Sonnet to the Goddess Aeternitas Chubby chaussures froufrous en colere

Just a glance would almost suffice to galvanize the pouring out of the salty juice

Came it a time where they need not know how to compel an action from hence

Pausing the idiom to fight along the ways of the meandering causeway was a chance

Eternity knew what bounds could hale from a splitting pair of shoes way too loose

Pushing along the motions were not a consequence for her to sail on over a fence

Who did that motion mention for the woman to counter argue the moment to prance

 

A democracy is far too wild a commonplace urgency for the animals to peter out

This defense cannot approach a momentous holler it flips onto a couch yes resting

Pushing the ideals with an accent and lisp not agreeable to flounder like a bear

The people will not know the ancient verve of the yelling teeming while hives shout

Aiming to control the fantasies of the chubby inside and out for a quiet sure testing

Completely felt the tortuous plunging angry red pathological only white blank chair
