#smallpoems
Poetry picks at pretentious
poses of prose,
Exposes holes
taking tolls on truths

no one owns
how one knows what
poetry is
semantics,syntax
antics , and panics,
which flow through dry beds
of borrowed meaning
as truth escapes
in soundscapes and
blank space where
adverbs once
inhabited.

no thesis to
please us
but truth honed
on stones of
emotional
tones, which
stand alone as
evidence of credible
existence.
