No one isn't but yet to speak the truth:
Reason and mind in rule, thinks not alike,
So should i, if thou'st thinks not belike;

Light shall i is, and might transcends the night's
Delight.

While Fright holds in flight,
and spite of wide sights
to which are side right.
tides bites and rivers wipe,
The kite swells in ice
while in liberty,
To which the mice slice.

Lice infests rice,
to which is
nice not. wise not.

Don't toy me because i am soy,
boy are you roy?
Scold me.

Don't bug me because i rub,
soy are you moist?
Stone me.

Don't roam me because i foam,
toy are you foil?
Slap me.

Rome collides and darkness descends.
Am i done?

The use of such a strict, repetitive rhyme in the second poem is extremely effective.....

BUT I am unable to make head nor tail of it. And likewise, in your first poem, what is the phrase 'Light shall i is' meant to mean??

Perhaps it is a case of relying on structure and style at the expense of expression - your poems sound ok when read out but they don't seem to make any sense (and I wouldn't even consider them as some kind of avant garde poetry because the words used seem entirely random). Of course, I could be missing something.........

I have no idea what you're saying here however, I get the impression you are toying with words within words via anagrams and association, which is rather clever.
