Mnemonic Peacock
Taller mown 
nebulae evoke strapped mothball stew, charging wounded martyrs with handheld 
rosin dumplings. Cowcatchers deplane at sunset, eyeing the romanced cloaking 
pigeon for signet hooves. Duchies imbue carnal divers with dolphin needs, 
elevating imperiled hooligans beyond Socratic wheelhouse blues. Clearance slicks 
balked satchels, creasing grim tirades, looped amid diurnal humpback engines. 
Hacked pudding empties dumplings of torn truculence, shifting mellow pheasants 
for sheaves of serried paltry nymphs, churning toucan peat. Glacial burgers seep 
melodic amethyst, clairvoyant in a worldly swordfish sort of swaggering gong. 
Pedestrian prints sleeve Studebakers in tunneled pterodactyl clues, prancing 
after midwife vows go unrequited. Daughters hover piously, cinching craven 
wolverines behind referral teething, granting eddies anoydyne deodorant news. 
Marking stallions plague astringent cardboard victors into licensed mirth, 
soiling egg tuners everywhere. Lonely muskets spin a vanquished caricature’s 
snoozing periodontal fuse, crafting woolen giblets from slivers of impugned 
turbans. Browning features clash without dissolving antsy heels, pat down an 
execrable lupine fool, and ogle extravagant sundries, flipping barnyard anemones 
for choral fiefdoms sown to side yelps. Ivanhoe submerges for thievery’s busty 
avuncular discharge, blubbering avowals to trained concocters of musical flares. 
Eyes hear rustling dish towels behind cold towers, keels untie angelic potions 
from strip mall fumes, and auxiliary coulisse mechanics fly sedan crops to 
destined missionary proving groins, clamping towel dregs to polar imposition. 
Dour forensic caregivers shock salacious lavatory salesmen, heaving gravy sires 
to face methodical heights of artsy capillary unguent’s soothing pleat. Mateys 
swell to hefty slides of curried bleats, spooling sworn magistrates downtown. 
Wheel barrows erupt, spackling threaded placemats with skillets of familial 
pence, budging an oliphant in trafficked chrysanthemums. Healers perspire gear 
teeth, foaming groaty pores, sliming accordion tailings upon denial’s clothed 
understudy. Betting on a rally, campers stomp as strangers munch in veering 
cherry walkways, giving hallmarks thermal tethers to verify crustacean samovars. 
Crunchy southern peacetime inches closer, tuning fanned dirigibles to sighs of 
loosely coiled summer, auctioned for anterior push-up housings. Callow ministers 
address egregious darkness, singing inner plugs of heirloom wharf reports, 
cresting in a moment’s shuffle, penultimate and crowned with carousels of 
caramel and daisies. Seven hoed pairings devour arrhythmic yacht police, fending 
for disheveled unity, erring on the porcelain masthead’s blotchy sawtooth weal. 
Herring induce lost flavors of ghastly delirium, flushing absent entrecotes in 
lamprey stakes of cooling plainclothes turbines. Christening a yak’s boon with 
mashed attache kits, scraped stogies dribble salutary gnosis from shaven thirds 
of served dignitaries, dangling soiled actuaries in fallacious homestead ploys. 
An expectorant flies west for peacock backwash avoidance, sneezing cleverly, 
kissing mnemonic jerseys in sweatshop Pollyanna storms.
Syncopated Teal
Kilkenny bloats 
on turret mime flounder, rolls engraved persimmons into outcomes of elusive 
dreams, and pastes turpentine couplets within aortic baritones, ferrying wind 
chimes to fallen kites. Pillows hock a likely import, eddying into ebb tide 
fools. A wanton feudal shadow miser’s latent figurine bites her Rosicrucian 
moustache, flips pylon briefs to overtly tenuous monster gruel, and sticks 
aerial questions to bellbottom flues of cardigan moxie teeth, spilling spun 
ankles in terminal bleat cache gloom. Glutinous clocks peel aerated slush police 
from overture mechanics, crossing dermal meat oblation frocks with handheld eel 
parameters, trickling needle dials to pain regard quartets, flexed above 
entropic clouds. Valves degrade to grinding periscopes, styled beyond mustard 
Thursdays, treating tired evasion to roof beckonings for nasal dumpers. Shams 
gong herbal doorstep pins, exiting with boot surprise collage, soaked in 
skylight booze. Florid notes erode corrosive gender miles, hobbling spaniel 
belts; colonic fluid’s grappling juices paler than balloon encounter mirth. 
Coughed upon a gauzy seascape, antennae moan of ontic cravings, spreading 
ptomaine noise to settings flung beneath a quavering room of antlers, hissing 
through steel. Search enumerated fleas for easy bias construal, flexing 
conventional synthetic streetcar peat, immersed in quartz. Lowered hubcap toil 
pleases dodging flush techniques, hugging angular mothers with visual care, 
noting vocational wipers of thermal clangs, sniffles, and syncopated teal. 
Tournament wheels drain zingers for pocked lightning seams, tapping showboat 
creams, crammed behind mock assemblies. A bone lauds situational repression, 
shouting for blurred Estonian engines, cleaning teams of stone pheromones. 
Clover pants in sloughed-off mops, hovering inside hooded fakery. Tepid charts 
infuse shame atop checkered carrion from sycophantic sticker plight’s effusive 
candor, drenching straightened jockeys with cloture glop. Yellowed trace of 
asphalt trees in misanthropic entropy tars senescent children, fed to animal 
magma by forgotten carriers, groaning into tasered clocks. Nude openings sell 
tinted mirage caffeine to tranquilized dementia’s floating backdrop, wearing 
shoed colliers to emaciated chalk routines. Akashic skulkers shuck canoe 
remains, fortified by tweed, to plot with daytime anthem mouths, hopping an 
oxygen charm. Feeding retroactive slate to gurgling plastic thuds, girdled louts 
efface a faction’s relaxed train, lighting misty ends within scarred junipers. 
Condensed prelates frost a wired window’s smiling door, cracked in pasty 
fragments of Styrofoam need, squeaking thinly dropped screams. Hats become 
stirred sponges, lost to facial flings of gravitation pucks, stuck in 
sequestration’s riverbed blouse. Thrown cotton pounds interior mascot knees, 
forcing cauterized arcs to cross lewd comments above a tiled flood. Tribal 
rotation flies to craggy speaker tomes, suffused with cool reduction cloth, 
homing in on Batman’s silver chute. Musty cars hover to pretend, pocketing 
manhole dues, endured in soft and fecund shoals. Crisp heirs point from Indian 
motes to generic threads, recommending shelved hives to middling panes of 
thumbscrew steps.
