Romancing the Serpent
Poetic depiction
prosaic description
Vowels come in colors
the rest black and white
They call to us orphaned
they call to us nameless
Our pens but a lifeline
that save with each write
To romance the serpent
to anger the saint
Each word symptomatic
our feelings acquaint
A bard or a preacher
their weapons the same
Whose caliber loaded
—to praise or defame
(Radnor Pennsylvania: June, 2022)
