Madhouse

Madhouse

A charitable convenience
with an upheaval of fragrant
reflection
inducing the enraged psychosis
of your magnetic paranoia
a meager substitution of sanity
succeeding in the appraisal
of a mind far gone
a reprieve from succulent privation
a primal confirmation of
ample lament
an ancestry conforming
to immoral reduction
a madhouse of guilt
perverse intentions
and insanity

Where is this place? I want to hear more about this Madhouse... maybe the Madhatters who live there... I dunno... but this setting you painted... I want to see where it is, go on a trip there... see what is hiding behind the curtain... and ya know what... that's what a great writer does, they leave the audience begging for more. Success achieved with this piece. Well done.

I think this exist in every family in some shape or form. A great choice of words to express this madhouse.

Sounds like my best friend. Gotta love the lunnies in our lives. Your word choice always amazes me because it weaves webs and creates mirrors to reflect images.

Letting a family member who is off their rocker rule the roost just to keep the peace.....totally insane.

I am loving the insane loony toon image i got from this, short of a violin being played until you could light a Red 100 from the strings. This has a nice slap, bam, grab, and choke to the reader.

I love your word usage! Very nice!

As always, your use of language intrigues the reader and enhances the picture you paint with them, always leaving the reader wondering how many layers they have missed. Beautifully done, as ever.
