What what what?

Poetry is a players

game.

written-read

without shame

but guised in ways

to delight

or remove demure

to excite

or shout-proclaim

some deed or woe

or love

and

letting go

but my friend

here's the rub

with every simile

that we grub

to shock-offend

or lie outright

our words themselves

don't makes us

right

We are crafters

our words are tools

I love you all

and April fools.
