Open Wide

bards 
   of possibility
scribes
    of realisation
with
poetry
    of high order
accessible
communicable
meditaively..
    slowly
        unclothed:
instinctively
      penned..
        as structured
             prose,
a ceasura
        here-                  
and- 
       there-
           unbare
lines
begone...
             no more
jettisoned
     upon
         a forgotten
poetic
     shore

I love my poetry lesson for today, Brian- had to hunt for "caesura" in the dictionary.: D Found out it comes from Latin "caedere" = to cut. Must be where the term "ceaserian" childbirth comes from too. Didn't understand it as being a formal writing tool. Very interesting! Especially as used in your poem. Warm regards. A.M.
