Greg Gaul Poet Free verse

Denial Spiral

hand to word and
hand to hand
like a combat
man to man
word to word we spin
and spin and spin
with the words within
my power your power
spin spin spin
exhausted we stop
something in the way
bias we say
embrace and sigh
to begin anew
seeing eye to eye
pledged not to deny
we finally do begin
again and again

Susan Ashley August 19, 2022 at 5:29 PM Dear Greg, your wonderfully poetic, golden pen is ingenious! I adore the timely spirit of this poem, the wordplay and the use of repetition, especially with the word "spin". Such a great title too to crown this amazing piece. Your artistic intellect shines ever so brightly! Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan Greg Gaul August 20, 2022 at 5:33 AM Such a terrific visit Susan. Read lots of your stuff recently and continue to admire. However, we are different. So, it makes me feel valid when you comment so kindly. Ain't it great when poets comment that way? Warmest wishes right back at ya. Keep that quill quiveering.
