You
Can't Fool A Poem
Did
you think I wouldn't find you
Hiding
inside pro-nouns
Sliding
between phrases
Trying
to tenderize your meat
You
can't fool a poem
When
your back is turned
It
will expose you in its ink
Fully
dressed within the margins
Of
cleverness and rhyme
You
can't fool a poem
Once
the ink has dried
Judy

Once or twice a year, I will read a poem, and wish I had written it. Such is the case here. This piece is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful piece! Thank you Judy!
