Antique Balustrades

Antique balustrades curve delicately, each filigree gracefully hosting its judiciously knotted lattice.  "Meticulous nuances," other people quite rudely say, truculantly, "undertaken virtually without xylography, yet zestfully."1

Author notes

I did it again.  Kinda fun though.

    Oh this was one heck of a fun read and them some. I loved the way you took the words and used them so perfectly to make a little story out of this. Very nicely done.

    This is wonderful, you have certainly created a great ABC poem.
    A wonderful play on words. I love doing the ABC'S they're fun.
    I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and the picture is fabulous.

    my brain went "WUUUHHH????"

    Wow Paul. Another amazing alphabet poem. Such a different topic but still very very good. I had to pull out a dictionary at B and by Z I was utterly blown away! It is by far a Gold in my book! Wonderful write!

    I commend you on your amazing vocabulary and your ability to make my brain go fizzy with new words to use.

    Well you surely wrote a tough twister here and I wont try to say those long words outloud my tongue may be twisted for weeks. I did some tongue twisters a few but not like this with such big words LOL this was different but you did good with it.
    With the ABC's and big words now don't ask me what it means lol
    because that part I wouldn't know....But the kid tried Hugs,

    I'm jealous three!! This is very impressive! I like the image you have posted with it as well. You are such a talented poet. I am totally blown away by the different areas everyone has explored with such a minimal amount of words here. Reading everyone has not only been a great pleasure, it has been an inspiration and education in iteself. Thank you again for entering and good luck!

    Absolutely Splendiferous!

    This put a quirky little smile on my lips. And it made me think, "Now why haven't I thought of that..??". Haha..Currently reading ee cummings, so I found a tangiential parallel bet. your poem and his "Somewhere I Have Never Travelled". Your poem embodies one of the reasons why I love the English language and the English alphabet.
