Quills

“Quills”



he sent 
paper planes over 
air waves

dodging 
silver bullet’s brain
some kind of feathery love

poetic sword
plucking at 
the tight-stitched up

like John Donne
unlacing amuse 
voluptuous

for that harmonious chime

(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

qui il

The foe oft-times having the foe in sight, Is tir’d with standing though he never fight. Off with that girdle, like heaven’s Zone glistering, But a far fairer world encompassing. Unpin that spangled breastplate which you wear, That th’eyes of busy fools may be stopped there.""

Robert Lindley Date: 1/18/2022 3:07:00 AM John Donne is by and large a forgotten poet. Yet his mastery of his Art was magnificent. Poets would do well to read Donne because much wisdom lies within his many verses. "Let thy pen its fire explode. Wherein thy true heart demands. Love in its heaviest load. More than most ardent lovers can stand."" Lind30 Rhyme... A splash and a step off the cliff each time. RJL
