(…shame shame shame on me…did I get your attention? hoping that you will forgive me my sense of humor but also that the poem won’t disappoint, I wish you all a wonderful Sunday and an equally wonderful new week!)
donning layers of coats inside what we call a lifetime
disguising as an imagery we shape and re-shape as our own
centuries have served countless troops of venturing attempters
veiling the vast hopelessness of hope
uncovering our word yielding to its due worth
lending the lyrical shade its sheer transparency
asking the rhythm the flow the diction to a waltz around the form
while taking off one wrap after another…
