Poet on the Loose


Poet on the Loose


Who is this man with rhymes in mind,
Intent purpose his thoughts to bind
In knotted puzzles for you to find
To free ideas he has entwined?

Why can he not in plain speech say
Messages that he has to convey?
Instead they dance in quiet ballet
As he frolics in his word play.

Why does he hide in twists and turns
In that dark maze of his concerns,
And plays as a wee Robbie Burns
To lure you with images he churns?

He will not yet answer you here,
As he beats the drum in your ear.
Follow that trickster to his bier
Only to watch him disappear.
