"A Foreign Poem"
I stumbled upon a poem today.
I picked it up and tried to read it.
It felt like my brain had ran astray.
But over, under, upside down I tried, but couldn't heed it.
I couldn't get it off my mind.
How this poem could have been written,
How to understand this I couldn't find.
By this poem I was smitten.
The words did not make sense to me.
A blend of words, a scrawl more like.
It plagued me, never was I free.
This poem stabbed me as a pike.
Never in my history.
Had anything confused me as this, this mystery.
