A Poetry Critique Recited

OPEN  VERSE
Will my verse
reach your ear  can
your eye stay  the course
Does unconvention
Confound the rhythm
of your eyes
Take a deep breath
exhale and read
between my lines
unphased by phrase and
habitude or human voice
The choice  is always 
yours if my poem will
be or is not, to be
a tune upon your ear  
THE POET
Turning twisting torment
his soul erupts upon his page-
Melancholic thoughts
drip  drip endless tedium
into the reader's  eye-
obtuse,remote  emotions
stagnate as still waters
stifle life squeeze
vitality to death
A POET
I picked  up this
pen  let it loose
upon  this  page
just  as WCW
did with her 'reply'
to his 'just to say'
so matter  of fact
so every day
a note, husband to wife
can become  so well  read
albeit after the poet's
                         dead
Listen to me read these poems on youtube under the name ichthyschiro
