Kim Van Breda Poet Light Verse

Riddled With Syllables

RIDDLED WITH SYLLABLES

writing riddles in
numbered syllables
one to ten then
back again….

poets poise
breaking soils 
buried recoils
pale boned words recall
meanings leaning extremes
only tomatoes and beans
A ‘mused’ but not yet D ‘composed’
forcing phrases on countless pages
devouring clichéd thick fingered wisdom
spinning self-consumed cocoons of pride
in woven disguise they try hide
mining secret metaphors
housing rapid heart beats
flat blue sky circles
elusive prose
exposed
