A Poet's Snare

Poetry has a hidden meaning, words designed to invoke a feeling, unveiled by the writer to his prey. A graphical hook, the trap now set, imagery, a heroic couplet. The poet’s task is finally a lay! Ballad, limerick, and sometimes haiku, envoi, epic, and often rondeau, His hunting methods seldom concrete. He appropriates all the time it takes. The reader’s tenacity he breaks. To finally enlighten is his feat. His enjoyment has at last been filled. Even as his plebe is being skilled, The onus of work is now complete!
