Lady of Shalott Blues in B-flat


Grade eff off key day

make the beast go away

can't shake mood today

eerie meters play


got the doom on me

bagpiping the tune 

Lady of Shalott blues

in B-flat river gloom 


blue moon of Camelot

Keep on shining gloam

from Ohio's mud banks

Charon ferries me home


blue veined hands grasp

Sun's spotted yellow chill

permafrosted core

holds the ice queen still



empty orb hollowed 

dull daylights retract

bleakest black and blue 

prism fragments refract


needle nosed lances 

on tiny aimed shard

finds a clear target

hits tender heart hard


sun without no shine

burns like saccharine

jeering and jesting 

of a fake friend's grin


forced rumination

gnaws in stranglehold

peas porridge stewed in

the pot nine days old 


banjo nerves jangle

in arthritic knot

Discordant twangle

my C minor Camelot
