Rain Drops Bouncing on Lakes

" Rain Drops Bouncing on Lakes "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Any-to-any
inter-connectedness
sweat is sweat
eating nuts while pregnant

smoking cessation
thumping heart rate
oxygen uptake
subspecialty training

rain drops
bouncing on lakes
as full-length plays
at close range...

Woof and Warp

" Woof and Warp "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Woof and warp
multiple choice
life en pointe
performance encore...

Iffy Catchy Pedigrees

" Iffy Catchy Pedigrees "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Heartthrobs rule
high cuteness
scurrying and twirling
balm around the lips
as iffy catchy pedigrees
of unswerving make believe
shriek enthusiastically
blowing bubbles
of aromatic pink ability...

Oh So Stylish

" Oh So Stylish "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Oh so stylish
thigh slapping
after falling short
in coursing
polkas and waltzes
poised for more
selfies at warp
speed as paparazzis
of said-star-
New-Year avatars...

Tilting Like Easels

" Tilting Like Easels "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Side stepping
even tolerating errors
already in use
absorbingly new
relying heavily on human
end-ruled doozies
surprisingly rapid-fire
interior limelight
with longtime
lovers in mind
tilting like easels...

Operatic Canon

" Operatic Canon "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

More diversity
long been ceded
already riven
actually risen
given permission
with risk
of conviction

fixer-uppers
pick-me-ups
shrinking distances
sudden intimacies
images fracturing
operatic canon
cherishing the latter...

Veiled Complexity

" Veiled Complexity "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Stitched together
anonymous threads
powerless yet
threatening
veiled complexity
knees bent
bare breasts
desolate stretches
lacquered chests
brittle letters
marbled entrance
clans descending
soft landings
molten candles...

Increasingly Kaleidoscopic

" Increasingly Kaleidoscopic "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Increasingly kaleidoscopic
running slipshod
over holiday volume
as upper echelons
of lacquer boxes
and bejeweled objects
fraught by baubles
falling short behind walls
of long-lasting force
here and abroad
across self-taught
patterned borders...

The Blown Kiss

" The Blown Kiss "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

The blown kiss
flamboyantly
stinging and raw

somehow facile
blissed out
recoiled reality

subversively sweet
insular communities
gasping jeering

fleeing the scene
at fast-forward speed
soaked in sanctity

grippingly
flexed and stretched
in retrospect

minus spectacle
stunningly far-fetched
renowned collection...

Those Wide-Open Spaces

" Those Wide-Open Spaces "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Those wide-open spaces
self-determination
lament and accusation

holding back
kicking the can
appearing and vanishing

abrasive tactics
jagged fragments
de facto...

Consecutive Perceptions

" Consecutive Perceptions "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

It's often said
as consecutive perceptions
among a plethora
of irrepressible imaginary friends
with fading revelations
minus fascination
for dedicated dancers
on congratulatory bandwagons
of sociopathically purposely catchy
rockabilly twangs
contorting mortality
where everybody gets got
by depth charges
of crackly background static...

Several Unquenchable Senses

" Several Unquenchable Senses "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Several unquenchable senses
as general remembrances
of featured binge treatments
for the sleek downloading elite
both juicy and lowbrow
overwrought flashy rants
not for broadcast in happy-ever-after
past bloodbaths with savoir-faire...

By the Bundle

" By the Bundle "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

By the bundle
models of spunk
under pulled-out rugs
sweeping ennui
of the unseen
frantic activity
of ominously smoggy
impoverishment
on token honor rolls
of unusually abundant
one-upmanship...

Flickering Chasms

" Flickering Chasms "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Delicate touches
strongly felt
across hotbeds
of sound itself

vividly three-
dimensional
hauntingly
hard-bitten

in the last gasp
of austere chapel
apses on demand
as flickering chasms...

Blossom Symbiotically

" Blossom Symbiotically "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Exalted
in bronze
as marvels
blossom
symbiotically
in montaged
holiday operas...

Spellbindingly

" Spellbindingly "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Spellbindingly
springing to mind
like jiggly bits
of rethinking
while spoofing redemption
rendered as lesser-
known indelibly
psychedelic exemptions
as blurred senses
stirred together
with existentially
popping chestnuts...

Cosmic Tales

" Cosmic Tales "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Not long ago
cross my heart
on the lam
in a cosmic tale
of idiosyncratic
graffitied fragments
for yakkers and braggers
well beyond capacity...

Already Been

" Already Been "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Already been referenced
in letters of above-mentioned appendixes as knacks
for belting out carols
with whip-lashed abandon
like holiday handfuls
of butter-splattered
rah-rah pasts
gotten well in advance
laced with laughter...

Rapture Newly Imagined

" Rapture Newly Imagined "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

A puzzled sort
of pleasure
left in the state
of a modestly
frank tantrum
of rapture
newly imagined
as gratitude
laid bare...

The Long Hereafter

" The Long Hereafter "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Based on passion
as latter-day
platonic patrons
of favorable
reconsiderations
for formulaically
redacted nascent states
given total access
to the long hereafter
however casually...

Fingers of First Frailties

" Fingers of First Frailties "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

To stop the eye
approval-wise
as stashed pints
of child-like naïveté
peeking out between
fingers of first frailties...

Disguised Erstwhiles

" Disguised Erstwhiles "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Out of nowhere
no end in sight
behind every line

hows and whys
miserly realigned
at the same time

on a dime
in their own rite
crouched outside

feigning life smoke rising
likened to archetypes
of disguised erstwhiles...

A Warren of Dignity

" A Warren of Dignity "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

A warren of dignity
as crèche figurines

slightly unkempt
over centuries

years spent
in intercession

kisses pecked
on foreheads...

Over Red Berries

" Over Red Berries "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Sizing up
once-musty
heads up
at eye level

as edited excerpts
of an unexpected
sole discretion

drawing yourself
by memory in pencil
tumbled together

stretched over red berries
paying attention to trendy
style-centrics at street level

small-plate specials
blowing minds like fried
cherry pies at pre-arranged times...

Non-Fictional Figures

" Non-Fictional Figures "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Eminently human
passing in confusion
re-introduced
as endless loops
of time-splintering
vaguely familial
sharply underwritten
pivotally gritty snippets
likened to high-pitched
non-fictional figures
nostalgically whispering...

Lip-Painted Outtakes

" Lip-Painted Outtakes "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

The kiss
of an un-named
trickster
'gainst
a lip-sticked
grifter
hieroglyphed
on monolithic
obelisks
as graffitied
ancient needles
of mythical
interspecies
graphically staged
emblazoned
like lip-painted
outtakes...

Live Exuberance

" Live Exuberance "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Almost love
profoundly struggling
deliberately flat
doomed to shatter

maniacally catchy
movingly anew
live exuberance
cumulatively induced

picked-and-choosed debuts
staged exclusively
in definitive reviews
protuberantly two-by-two...

A Totemic Tannenbaum

" A Totemic Tannenbaum "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

A totemic tannenbaum
forbearance notwithstanding
largely stemming in retrospect
from festive year ends
with charitable exceptionalities
let alone romances in passing...

Trailblazers from Elsewheres

"Trailblazers from Elsewheres "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

The promise of the title
minus rehearsal time
with bittersweet rhymes
opining improvised
pile ups of free stylings
while throwing loaded dice
handfuls of times at light speed
with the near-implausibility
of forlorn catchy love songs
sadly adapted as unfair shares
unsparingly declared
by trailblazers from elsewheres...

Managing Sublimities

" Managing Sublimities "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Hard to hold up
unbearably
undermined
bifurcated lives


moving clockwise
as stockpiled
highlights
of unrecognizable
misguidance


in sympathy
for idiosyncrasies
previewed
like goofy indies
still managing sublimities...

In Tribute to Spillover

" In Tribute to Spillover "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Hard to envision
stippled at full tilt
while overtly twisting
in tribute to spillover
well suited when viewed
breaking through prurient limbo
likened to live nudes
genteelly idealized
by undeniably disguised
high mindedness
shaded from sunlight
when draped
by ground-length capes
of smartalecky tactility...

Smack-Dab in the Center

" Smack-Dab in the Center "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Smack-dab in the center
set in opaque Legos
estimated to fetch
making ubiquitous sense
as infamously seminal
sequestered collections
of adventurous heroines
over dressed
in thinly spun threads
of seemingly endless
indefinite merit
with satisfying thwacks
on packed surfaces
stuffed with fabrics
of historically accurate hilarity
over-stretched and pre-gessoed...

Team-Rallying Cries

" Team-Rallying Cries "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Strategic mishaps
in double features
hovering ever nearer

towering but fragile
seemingly raggedy
pensively jazzy

knitted and nattered exotically detailed
desiringly gathered fantasies
mesmerizing like team rallying cries...

Backed Up by Backdrops of 'this'

" Backed Up by Backdrops of 'this' "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Backed up by backdrops of "this"
implanted with impacts
overcrowded by the rowdiness
of jumping around howling
and screaming via piecemeal
make-believe contrarian catastrophes head spinningly wobbling
while preaching gee-whizzing sloganeering as sidelined anchorings
notwithstanding vacuous gravity...

Partnering of Possibilities

" Partnering of Possibilities "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

In pursuit of steady
rebirths tensely kinetic
risking swooping lifts
peppered with giggles
and knottiness watching
partnerings of possibilities
stranding as tapestries of funky heirs
well beyond the dominance
of bodies of holiday art
chronicling mirthful heartthrobs...

Boomeranging Flashbacks

" Boomeranging Flashbacks "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Improved sound-proofing
carried out in new
master plans well worth
examining minus the fact


stuffy academics
teasing out history
humming with the absence
of a dying man


releasing prestigious casts
compulsively abandoned
as boomeranging flashbacks


instantly smitten
by fraying fetishes
with the intellectual heft
of soft-landings
pressed high in the air...

Revamped Hootenannies

" Revamped Hootenannies "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Nears modest accord
far from logjams
stockpiled as glad-
handed scams
of rueful romance
for deadpanned
sociopaths
on intoxicatedly
melancholic
odysseys


looming large
shortly short
zipping across
tricky stories
via laborious losses
begrudgingly
sung out of order
at revamped
hootenannies...

If Per Chance

" If Per Chance "


by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Analysts point to up-ticks
in pent-up headwinds
making up huge segments
of all-too-well ending up
better-than-expected
by finding ourselves

close to abandon
on the mainland
of if per chance
while facing up to the past
with helping hands in halves
being denied damages
during prolonged fasts...

Pour the Port

" Pour the Port "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Pour the port
over one-person orders
gently transformed
by toddies
of harder spirits
garnished with sticks
of cinnamon
plus clove-studded
ribbons of citrus
cousined by crumbles
of pot luck
as read on the palms
of drill sergeants
with the bravado
of rock-star monarchs
collected by artists...

All Decked Out

" All Decked Out "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


All decked out
outside the grasp
gorgeous
from the air

merely taking care
counting
as working out
upside down
with a shout out

each day anew
as suspenseful
senses
of limitlessness

unrelentingly
family held
like up-dos
as salutes
to stiffened
tulle...

Daring Heirs

" Daring Heirs "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Barely recognized
initially at least
with seasoned affability
and invidious comparisons
per chance as daring heirs
on and off air with wackiness
captured by cut outs of cut ups
lumbering down jumbled up
runways as cuts above
hurry-up line-ups cookie cut
in up-and-coming match ups...

Parables in Stained Glass

" Parables in Stained Glass "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Getting to help
reinvent indelible
randomness
as mish-mashed
neon strands
in planned parables
of stained glass

heading back to shore
bruised from the board
and downward dogs
in high-waist shorts

minus bangs and braids
looking like a wader
with a swaddled baby
along the banks...

Already Peaked

" Already Peaked "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Already peaked
sheepishly
pointing
to shiny
blue jumpsuits


yawning loudly
on the ground
as dark brows
knitted
with the ability
to send kisses
heavenward


tall and blond
jostled hard
at the top
as hot-doggers
of extreme
tweeness
looking big
on the rinky-dink...

Perpetually Poised

" Perpetually Poised "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Perpetually poised
consistently interesting
ill fittingly winding up winning
in the tone and timbre
of burnt scripts sidled peripherally
by hidden paralysis
on the long road back
teeth still attached to cliffhangers
over cow patches...

Savants of Bargains

" Savants of Bargains "


by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Well-hidden complimentary
stress tests upsetting the gentle
by sharpening potential
while taking years to perfect
actual perception
of the hypothetical
as stock and schmaltz
gobble-gobble squabbles
puzzling holiday shoppers
if not for rock-solid
savants of bargains...

Utilitarian Calculus

" Utilitarian Calculus "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán


Utilitarian calculus malleable
tens or hundreds of thousands
taken for granted as subrationally pragmatic fiendishly collateral damage


in armchair accounts
of what went down
clamped in slightly scary
matter-of-factness
too close to caricature
fractiously flashedback...

Arguing Mightily

" Arguing Mightily "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Arguing mightily
with critical
distancings
while pointing
significantly
to ever-increasing
vulnerabilities
owing something
of great sums
to fent-off insults
unconvincingly shifted
deafeningly still...

Dust Jackets

" Dust Jackets "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Dust jackets as clashing
machinations of ashen
circumstance for freelanced
back-and-forth failures
outcast by typecasting
clicking and dragging
with the frivolous abandon
of wit and panache...

Love Interruptus

" Love Interruptus "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Sometimes it was
sometimes it wasn't

simple facticity
in non-fiction and poesy

tipping the gipper
with ongoing tragic twists

tumultuous deliberateness
for non victims of familial history

seen as curiosities
of love interruptus...

Pre-Empted Ordinariness

" Pre-Empted Ordinariness "

by Suzán Jiván
Mom & Mom-
Mom Suzán

Frequent revelry
dreamlike and breathy
endlessly refreshed
pre-empted ordinariness...
