Notes About The Poem

Extremely Exhausted

Willed

Vague sword

Weak heart and sight

Boundless wisdom, although

My soul has full enthusiasm

Body growing old and becoming weak

My resolve outweighs the bullet

Reeled swilled

Billed.

(The Bell)

David Kavanagh June 27, 2021 at 3:23 PM The cracks may be showing Lasaad, but the underlying integrity, is in fine fettle, and still peels out, I think this one sums you up, as the upbeat guy you are, great wording, must be a major contender for the contest, cheers David Sotto Poet June 27, 2021 at 4:05 PM So true, David, but as you said, the fundamental integrity is still in good shape. I'm so glad you like it because it's my first time trying this form—best wishes for the coming week.
