[bodytext] => The opening line requires the most finesse If attracting attention To a spectacle of dedication Is the prevailing intent The first words must contain sustenance If meaning Is to be gleaned If dirt off the floor Is meant to be cleaned The sentiment must be as it seems Sincere Its conventional wisdom… Its modern expressionism… Using features of symbolic gestures The creature has learned a language He speaks it And then writes it On the walls of his cave Dwelling in the shades Of an empire of cliffs A fire burns in the delicate mist The sound bypasses the elegant drum They shatter one by one Oppositional defiance A shutter severs the ties The alliance is bound to rise Fully realized Exposed and demonized Made to feel like kings Once the throne has been compromised After the peasants have revolted Pegged nails in your crucified- Eyes History is the fortune teller The present is a novelty A best-seller A fictional account Of real life events None of which amount To make any sense Forward past-tense Lowered expectation Of misread content Misuse breeds neglect Open seas infect The land as it is laid to rest The sand as it breathes its last salty breathe The inference needs to be clear and concise As the summation of the synopsis should be precisely precise If breaking skin and wine was the intention of the night Bones would be doubly nice Inside feels alright ___ __ [comments] => 1 [counter] => 160 [topic] => 43 [informant] => Mangos [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
