Short Catchall Poems

There seems 

Much use

Of "This" as a catchall

For the appearances

Of nothing..or

A password to the

Hidden catchall..

Yet..who needs a

Password..?...

Back drops of life
Tending down rottenness
Picking doors expensive
Voice activated
No intruders
Quiet enfolds

Frontal success 
Filling slates jest

as long as there are tomorrows....

If one should speak out against them
those of us are charged as being
leftwing radicals and condemned
strongly as unpatriotic
a catchall word used to censor
opinion against quixotic
military pursuits and measures
that needlessly spill the lifeblood
of a nation based on falsehoods....

THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE without grammatical symbols the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' & so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and respond thus making the form a two way interplay and often a unique interpretation by the enigma so derived...
