John Freeman Poet Rhyme

Strife of the Gall

Living a life in the fall
providing one has gall
proof of no worth at all
handwritten on the wall
proves one is short is all

Precept thus doeth abide
concepts slip and slid
lies thus are hard to hide
precept is eagle’s glide
corpses in dust we hide

Serpents thus do slither 
deeds on slime thither
as storm clouds gather
egos blame each other
deceits of stormy weather…
                                         Selah

Carolyn Devonshire March 6, 2012 at 1:30 PM If we live by love's precepts, we can avoid the "deceits of stormy weather." Just look around at the political scene today and it's esy to see that "egos blame each other. The form is extraordinary as well. You have three monorhyme verses for one complete poem of rhyme. Bravo! Love, carolyn
