DIMINISHING HEX-ON-VERSE


A hex on this verse
how could it be worse
tongue in cheek or terse
potion to reverse
a poetic curse

quivered arrows
wingless sparrows
Sphinx and Pharaohs
distant gallows

funnels bend
wordless blend
poems end

contend
pretend

words

Agreed Andrea, this is one strange little form, thus the tongue in cheek nature of the poem. Thanks for stopping by I know how difficult it is to keep up with comments and reading.
