The thing I like 'bout poetry
Not metaphor or simile
Nor metered foot nor probity
I like it when it smiles at me

All is about of love, of you, of us
Cause I can't write on love

Her twisted cadence my signature.
Her chaos my beauty.
Her simile my symphony.
Her metaphor my song.
She takes my emotion and creates life
In splendid fashion!

Bloom like a crane-fowl
Shortened name over time.

Given by native
People, friends, whose strange gods set
Their end destiny

for prey to run afoul…
With a sudden dash,
It shot out from the thicket;
Nabbed one prey, in a *flash*
And slapped it with a ticket.

Like a wind-up toy
