Wandering expositions

Poetry has many inspections
each line remains re-touched;
we frown at fingered collections
of nouns and other stuff.
There are troublesome inflections,
and bleeding, wrung-out verbs-
the wandering expositions
of rhymes the metre serves.
There are stand alone conjunctions
in hope that it amazes
where
in solitude it functions
in contrived schematic phrases.

Good morning Tommy,

I really enjoyed your poem "Wandering Expositions." The way you explore the intricacies of poetry—its structure, its struggles, and its strange beauty—is both clever and insightful. I love how you highlight the contrast between the technical aspects of poetry (like verbs, nouns, and meter) and the creativity that drives it. Your use of "wandering expositions" perfectly captures the sense of poetry's journey, always searching for meaning and expression. It’s a thoughtful reflection on the craft. Great job!

Regards,
Rolph
