What Does it Mean?

I wrote a poem, but don't know what it means. 
Its mystery is what the reader gleans. 
Now, its meaning is infused,
unless the reader is confused,
and the poem is blown to smithereens.

Fun read David. At least you let us decide its meaning. I was confused so I lit the fuse ... nothing but small flying pieces and the smoke my friend. Bill

we don't control who reads our poems or the response to our creations. We just put it out there hoping it's not blown to smithereens! :-) enjoyable read. Have a splendid evening, Sara
