Poetic

Words echo
In a vacuum
Noise sans meaning


Hear the pitch
Of noisy dross
Hurling loose curls


Words beyond
Plain meaning die
As sighs falter


Meet strange blend
Of echoes lost
In broken strains


Words fall flat
Meaning breaks free
Nothing much more


Verse lines strain
Match some blown vice
To die as noise


Words seem lost
Poetic flash
Lavish sans rhyme


If only
Ideas cast light
On message verge


Such a waste
As haste leaks ooze
Upon the wind
