Oh poetry, I love you, the many faced muse. No insight just some syllables to stumble through and use.

........

Poetry is knowledge, for those without a clue

no chance at making sense at all, the written word's obtuse

grasp at meaning, hit a wall, the thickness makes it true

men of clay seek vainly with no veins to lead them to

the fundamental truth is it grey or amber hued

ensure words of meaning baked in you reflect the common view

my rainbow is a fount of knowledge little known to you

no foundation just the brilliance of meaning in situ

........

........

I noticed once the lord Almighty

in patterns deep and thick so naughty

had made upon his plan that day

lines of meaning washed away

in sand so broken no colors show

just tan and khaki who could know

what caused the wave that shook the flow

symbols, knowledge, I sound crazy I know
