Writing pretty words
you hide from the truth
Arrangement your mantra
all substance eludes
Masked behind structure
embedding each line
An empty betrayal
— in meter and rhyme

Great job, Kurt. What really lands is the contrast between surface and core. You keep pressing on how polish can become camouflage, and the poem never lets the reader hide behind craft alone. Very well done! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks, sometimes it's hard to find the marrow.
