John Lawless Poet I do not know?

Notes About The Poem

It's not a duck...it's an ugly swan.

So I Can'T Call a Duck -- a Duck

SO I CAN’T CALL A DUCK…A DUCK
                     …..if someone’s PERCEPTION
				………..wishes  it a SWAN

I cannot write of HOWS and WHENS
			for fear of other’s NOWS AND THENS

Nor shine thin light
			in darkened space

of demons most
			will never face


The sunset now 
			forever marred
			
by global warming’s
			
			trumping card

All beauty lost

			to self esteem

of mirrors cracked

			demented dream

YET CAN I CALL A ROSE - A ROSE

			by any other name

walk the ROAD LESS TRAVELED

			into this COLD DARK NIGHT

stand alone as poet

			NOT AFRAID TO WRITE
