Self-Infliction 1
To show
not tell
the essence
of verse
Narrative
wording
the image
reversed
A rainbow
unseen
is folly
described
Each moment
explained
a feeling
— contrived
**
Self-Infliction 2
Poetry done right
“is not a hobby”
Filling the hours
with time undone
Poetry from the heart
“is not descriptive”
Where words die orphaned
— and words die young
