I strum my grief,
& pluck one-liners
~riffing beats~
as I define
/ a life in leaf /
my story time. . .
in bits-so-sweet
until decline–
there never was a prelude finer–
worth a sonnet
and a shiner.
Through a reed &
with some weed,
I blow my smoke
in piping. . .
oboes, flutes,
kazoos that toot
to mellow
bellowed griping. . .
My odes
unload!
My poems
come home!
My villanelles unveiling–
in measured chord
dynamic score
of trial’ing & tre’vailing. . .
For mortal wounds
the gizmo used
is full-on Philharmonic,
no poem,
but tome!
–a fiction long–
subverting
hurt to tonic. . .
As lullaby,
may I imply,
to me all words
are music,
witty, ditty
> even sh*tty <
can be pretty
when I choose it.Like Loading…
