Lighting The Fuse

January 25, 2024

A Poet is not like other writers …

all narrative be damned

Charging and fusing each word with a spark

redundancy to ban

Poets and Novelists both drawn to the fire

their kindling looks the same

The differences clear when striking a match

— poetic verse rising in flames

(Dreamsleep: January, 2024)
