Poetic Justice

Court in session:

Alleged brilliance

arrests your attention.

 

Beyond mediation,

my case is air-tight

when my words take flight.

 

Don’t bother requesting bail,

the interrogation isn’t over

until the sentence is carried.

 

Isn’t my poetry so appealing?

You haven’t stopped hearing

the evidence of my eloquence.

 

Court adjourned:

Now you’ve learned how

my pen burned the page.
