Adverse Undertow
The travesty of a snipped and bridled lifetime
is a diagram of splitting an essence
One can witness such in a soul’s survival
Establishing miraculous manifestations beyond belief
Is a diagram of splitting an essence
synonymous with taking a picture of a shadow
Establishing miraculous manifestations beyond belief
The only superciliousness is an overseer’s judging
Synonymous with taking a picture of a shadow
the constant eventually becomes the mercurial
The only superciliousness is an overseer’s judging
But perhaps, in some respects, we’re all born under bad signs
The constant eventually becomes the mercurial
One can witness such in a soul’s survival
But perhaps in some respects, we’re all born under bad signs
The travesty of a snipped and bridled lifetime
About this poem
After a positive interaction with fellow poet Kaytee, l became inspired to attempt a pantoum of my own. I think it came out well.
