An Open Verse For You

inpired by contest theme

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

I enjoyed reading your poem, Brian. Love the rhythm and flow of your words. I guess you could say I choose your poem to be a tune upon my ear! A 7 for sure! Blessings, Kim
