Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Free verse

You Be the Judge - the Poem Speaks For Itself

For a little poem I do perform
A depth defying feat.
By all accounts I do seem shallow
Upon a surface read.

But before that N/A switch is flicked,
Let me percolate;
What once was shallow, when you dive in,
Becomes a spring fed lake.
