Excellent

This feeling can't stay caged in here,
But, if escaped, may fast appear
To shear the sphere of non-austere
With bladed bridge atop a sneer.

My flying ire: iron-faced,
A giant tyrant long disgraced.
In home of bone it rams to paste
A place it named a shameful waste.

The metal malice craves to cave
All glamor--hammer brows engrave
Destruction on the feeble knave
Who let an excess mind-enslave.

  2. stupendous technique - perfect iambs, fiendishly difficult rhyming quatrains, and enough slant rhymes and consonance to fill a bouillion cube! You are the best argument against Ambien that I know.
