Short Exponent Poems

‘A’ for agonies great;
‘K ‘is homage to Kalashnikov its genius maker, late;

within my courage, rapt to own
not going forth to speak disown

That I had  sheltered time's renown,
within my courage, rapt to own.

The storm, the storm resembles home
and love for Thee, remains a poem!...
