A 21st Century Poet
No longer submerged in seduction of a lover's tongue
left hanging out where no word is sung
defunct of function or fancy form
lost are the layers gradually getting you warm
Here and now before thoughts do pass
free flowing spewing out too fast
rhythm and rhyme left to chance
sterile simplicity caught in a trance
In a world caught up in instant gratification
what is the satisfaction
if feelings don't play a part
in your poetic art
A 21st century poet I heard him say
unrefined rhetoric put on display
