Riddled With Syllables
RIDDLED WITH SYLLABLES
writing riddles in

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
