Measures of Degree

MEASURES OF DEGREE
confidence pervades
   intending to regale
in pomp displayed
     in pageantry

a mere pretence
    with conceit
its folly
is
  dismayed
such innocence
        to see
conveyed
& prevails
   midst the tide
sufficient
    heretofore
  validates the sense
of
zealous appetite
   doomed to share

a shadow remains
    the quest is
is stilled

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived
