Does a poem establish a relationship with the reader?

When successful. What follows: affection/good will, instruction & wise counsel, healthy boundaries, the look within & beyond. A hardy seed beyond judgment or expectation.



Mouths & ears ripe with personal predilections. Some can’t abide okra or pretzel. Others revel. Regardless, conversation immanent. Clear windows.

  1. Out the Window

    A portly member of parliament
    unsuspected, oh so coy
    violence in the garden
    doesn't make him flinch

    Then he sees his forebears
    and what they say about him
    attempts to lay the table out
    will just backfire

    So on he goes to tumble
    and win back what he already lost
    but the cries from the greenness
    jack up all but him
