My Digression: Do Roses Always Bloom?
Poetry is as works of art
Masterpieces or paintings
Exceeding exponentially esthetically
not slight or slanting. It says hello
And mon amour at the same time
How do you do and I love you
Combined this direction is my
Trajectory. Do roses always bloom?
Forgive my digression. Back on tune.
A poem is magical it invents a tale
With musical

King of All He Sees - A Royal Digression
1066
Sad day on Senlac Hill.
King Harald takes an arrow
Through his royal eye.
And that Norman bastard,
Duke William, steals his crown.
Though it’s embroidery,
Not tapestry, tells the tale,
He finds himself the king of all he sees.
1297
Lord Warden of the March.
His bones well-sheathed
In tightly leathered muscle,
He guards the Western shore,
Ensconced in Carlisle Castle,
And stalks the reavers’

Sweet Digression
Dance
Yet we didn't fall off
The earth still spherical
Killing me with magic
Vibes to show you off
Should you be cynical
It's allergic
A move always lasts too
Allow it to flow through your blood
The reverberation supersedes the soul
Step one,step two
And you are lost to the flood
In soul
The stars can't keep a steady watch
The ground can't

Destiny's Digression
Elegant smiles concealing the pain,
limping wise men refusing the cane,
sinister soldiers surprising their shame.
Priceless pawns purged into war, but in vain,
for the fall of the king marks the start of a new game.
My path is different, I will not be the same;
while your dreams run rampant, my

haunting
The USSR has
faded into dust
The menorah lights

but tiimes have
certainly changed
As Tolkien pointed

A Brief Digression
Just a pinpoint of
light
in the darkness
only a gust of wind
We pass green
meadows
and taste the
cool waters
of the river
of life
Yet the ground
is slipping
away
beneath our feet
