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.
