flirting

The dollhouse falls

Losing itself-

The violins

Also listen

 

The dollhouse, false

Lost itself-

The violence

Still listens

 

The dollhouse lost itself

in false violins,

listening to violence

Yes, you have a repertoire of words that is second to none. And, those violins played a la pizzacato (going faster and faster) and then crashing........Caterino indeed these few words gave forth a melancholy song, or should I say lament......

Wow. Best play on words I think I've ever read! To read it out loud is fun,

Wonderful wordplay! You achieve a "meaning" beyond what the individual words convey--which is, of course, one of the purposes of poetry.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
