GREEN POETRY

GREEN POETRY

That’s our forte’.

Rambling prose,

discursive,

is there room
for more of those?

Today’s leaner lifestyles dictate
limited data bytes,
recycled paper bits
and a carbon free voice
of light, footprint-free
metaphors and similes.

What’s the point?
Information obesity.
Reduce it

with a diet of lies --

high potency poetry,
exaggeration energized.

Word burdened?
Get relief with verse.

It’s tersive.

I can only guess
where all that prose
goes.
