Oh Poetry
You duplicitous liar
You hide behind
Your window dressing
And ire.
Seasons change the
Ever-changing view
Sometimes it’s old
Sometimes it’s new
Your model attire
Dressed to the nines
Spilt onto a blank page
Goblets of not-so-fine wine
Aries, you indomitable fighter
Throw down your gauntlet
Of wronger and righter.
Love is found
In the fire
A rising phoenix
Of unknown desire.
The old made new
The untrue true
Secrets concealed
Revealed
Not just for
The privileged few.
Devolution
Evolution
Coming round the bend
Is this the beginning
Or the beginning of an inning
Or something
That may never end.

Oh Poetry
You duplicitous liar
You hide behind
Your window dressing
And ire.
Seasons change the
Ever-changing view
Sometimes it’s old
Sometimes it’s new
Your model attire
Dressed to the nines
Spilt onto a blank page
Goblets of not-so-fine wine
Aries, you indomitable fighter
Throw down your gauntlet
Of wronger and righter.
Love is found
In the fire
A rising phoenix
Of unknown desire.
The old made new
The untrue true
Secrets concealed
Revealed
Not just for
The privileged few.
Devolution
Evolution
Coming round the bend
Is this the beginning
Or the beginning of an inning
Or something
That may never end.
