Note: Anna at d'Verse had suggested to write on  'atmosphere' or mood. We are
also asked to state our mood. My mood is rather of concern of apparent economic
woes looming ahead not given its due seriousness. Tools employed, past tense and
generous use of words starting with 'M' to give effect to the mercantile approach
and background

With weird misgivings he plotted his next move

He needed to mollify his stance mundane as it was

Mitigating factors macabre and menacing in nature

Were not migrant in his choice but might malfunction

A motley of events midget in seriousness but maverick

In approach played a medley of musical interludes in

Mystical ways in his mind, a mishap of mayhem of sorts

A marathon of strains meandering and menacing

Minions of society manacled in their bids marooned

Into exclusivity wanting to be magnanimous to maintain

A semblance of mercantile preference muted in munificence

Maimed in their efforts in monotonous business pursuits

A malingerer wanting to meddle in matters of an entrepreneur

Making money in millions but have murky ideas of making it big

A modicum of honor though muted pushed misshapen efforts

To be a millionaire in thinking but minuscule for starters

Mindful of maverick economists who accurately predicted the

Sub-prime woes before and who now saw a bigger malfunction

Looming  ahead  chronicled in Aftershocks with misgivings not

Unfounded warning mortals of impending Depression ahead
