I really like this as is but I share some thoughts:
Now go the hell away. Very good use of this line. I'd make it the title unless a specific event or place comes to mind. Like "Workshop, May 32nd, Highway-to-Hell, Nevada".
I'd find active verbs for each use of 'is' and replace each 'the'. Like "May's sky screams blue; Spring's sea blooms green". This provides a season and action, sound, something.
Could use a grammar check unless you like it as is. Grammar is less important in poetry; this isn't an essay. For a definite pause (like for rhythm) you can use an emdash instead of a comma like: "I kid you not — nature's obscene,"
To add "darkness" to it... this is that season...
Explorers with lost souls explore,
Search worlds they've never searched before,
They'll kid you not — forevermore,
Now go the hell away.
I had dental surgery today. One of my teeth developed a cavity that was unnoticed until it began getting packed with food. It never hurt but the Doc said it was too far gone and had to come out. Well, to make a long story short, the tooth had grown two roots instead of the usual one and had to be surgically removed. The procedure wasn't terribly painful but after the local wore off... OUCH! There will be no poetry writing today.
