Poetry is a way
To tell the truth
Through allegory
Or make a perfect
Argument
So all who read agree
But if my words
Dissemble
Or the message
not read true
We see poetry
May also hide the truth
Far out of view

Hmm, looks like wearing an ascot is required if you are to be considered “a poet”. 😉
LOL, no, it was the only image I could find that seemed suitable….no dress code is compulsory as far as I’m aware!! 😉
MASTERPIECE !!!
Thank you so much, I so much appreciate it! 🙂
This is the best poem I’ve read this year. It’s a real throwback to the poetry masters of the past.
Wow, thank you so much! That’s an incredibly lovely thing to say! 🙂 And given how beautful your writing is I am especially honoured! 🙂
Well, I really mean it. This poem caught me.
I liked this one, actually I like most all of yours, but that is besides the point … has me ruminating, but it’s ok, I am not drooling yet. Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks so much!! 🙂
True. sometimes, there’s no telling when a writer can loose or find the truth. sometimes.
Thanks, I agree..truth is ever an elusive subject! 🙂
