Too Bright To Dim


It’s not about Poetics,

but the meaning it involves

 

The meter, rhyme, and format,

just tools to then resolve

 

Great thoughts need little structure,

their light too bright to dim

 

By any academic mode

—that chokes the voice within

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2019)
