Robert Verdon, #345, if


if

having four perfect lines

to rescue from backbeat time

plumb the plangent present

plain as a rolled oat

on a golden spoon

succulent enough to plant upon the moon

  2. Thanks, Rob, but I didn't have much time to write anything yesterday. This poem-a-day stuff is getting a bit onerous!

  3. This made me a) want oats b) admire you the more.

  4. Enjoyed this one, Robbie, interesting shape and change of angles. The oat line is wonderful!
