Mine Outcast State
"It's not easy being the real frog in the fairy tale."
-- on the real frog
the wart of Reality
* * *
Each time a rhymester scribbles of self-love,
of pregnant virgins, "souls," and "gods" above,
of Mother Nature sweet and hope upbeat,
I look upon this verse and curse its feet --
in full disgrace with poetasters' eyes
each child in pain who each five iambs dies.
* * *
a dedication of Respect
for
Truth
beyond all Rational doubt
buried
a revolving helios rhyme menippean satire on
the customarily conventional culture of
conformists
march, 2023 -- the conservative poet full
fancying himself upright --
not to mention poetic
