PERHAPS THIS SPRING
perhaps this spring
poetry will come alive
again thrive
in renewal
leaving behind
convoluted clever
words accessible only
to the few
who know the
code-breaker secrets
perhaps this spring
wit will return
and vigour
and rugged unpolished
unafraid new life
bringing
unstopped messages
So: brash novice devotees
we committed all the sins
in an exquisitely
personal blend of
passion and ignorance
we were
probably
pardoned by:
generous-spirits
who enjoyed
the blast of fresh air
if not by:
elitists the ignorant
dedicatees of purely
personal ambition
still if
defences remain
viable
I'll push on
see what else
I can discover
