Susan Gentry Poet Cinquain

False Prophet

Howling at the moon...

feeding on fanatical fears...

in a pack of predators preying...

baying and baying...

wolf in sheep's clothing

Geoffrey Brewer January 11, 2019 at 10:29 PM One of those poems for which each reader may have their own interpretation. For me, it alludes to the way that the majority can be, or can be persuaded wrong. Evocative and thought provoking, Susan.

Richard Lamoureux August 25, 2018 at 9:16 AM I commented on this piece a while ago, for some reason it didn’t post. This made me think of the current political landscape.
