John Oldham Poet Rhyme

Poems To Nowhere

Little poems to nowhere
Static on the page
Busy hieroglyphics
On a paper stage

Nimble little fingers 
Penned, and penned again
Lines that burst with static charge
Dormant, now and then

Long in tooth, calm in claw
Loaming on the day
Worthy of the modern man
Going anywhere

Lean have they been written
Long have they been fed
Purgings of a sentence
Nevermore unread –

Little poems to nowhere
Harboring away
Little revelations
Come another day –
