Honest Appraisal

Panic picnic of mind
Release reels of thread
Absolve absolute of bind
Yield yells of fed

Beauty lies in shapes
A glittering diamond
A beating, living, loving heart
The sliver of a moon
The semicircle of a smile
Or, rather, oval tears
A twinkling star
Crop circles

Practicality lies in shapes
The food triangle
The oval office
The pentagon
Times Square

I’d square this poem
But it would make it circular
So with the ding of a triangle
Geometric poem ends

Thanks to whoever nominated me–I think it was duncancleary, a wonderful poet himself and someone I’d love to have a fireside chat with.
I nominate The Noiseless Cuckooclock for thought-provoking verse that illuminates the good, bad, and worse.
