A Quisling
It's almost a new breakthrough
it's almost so divine
it's almost certain make prove
a poet's faith's design!
That Webster then could so groove
his mastery's incline
as somehow it is soul truth
to read ~ line upon line!
Ah words ~ there is the hope's sleuth
the slicing off the rind,
the pace in mental toll used
the character, so prime!
Expression as the mode's clue
directs or leaves behind,
I call my Country's role, l o o s e
in politics entwined!
A quisling ~ pathos confused
and errant by design,
as yesterday's ~ so excuse
its tyranny . . . . . . to bind!
Note: Webster's II New Riverside
"QUISLING" ~ "A traitor, especially one collaborating as the "puppet" of an
occupying enemy force!"
