Kim Rodrigues Poet Rhyme

Mishmash

Mishmash of thoughts,
smashing potatoes,
brightened with butter
and lots of salt.

Wherever was i,
thoughtless, scattering,
smishing and smattering
what ought

to be sound, fearless
and earth shattering—
a cause.

Finally,
the mishmash
of thoughts,

lined up,
tear down
the page…
all the rage,

totally engaged,
a symphonic sage,

a madman’s parade,
a sword twisted—
a poem wielded and waged.
