Obduracy of Rhyme


First rhyme ever sent
caused pain.

Jolly D hung up on me
never spoke to me again.

In poetry hung
a deadly fore-edge.

Did not pretend
comprehend

dangling sword
swallowing my pen.

Brazening out
after hungers raw meat.

Tearing at its curiosity
a wild gallows heat.

Clampy of Hermes
heaven rent.

Up in the air
mournful and unrepentant.

Contrary doleful
conveyor of souls.

Rattling with mischief
hunger of a thief.

Safe-cracking
the sublime.

Haunting swoon sepulchral
snares of the divine.

Incipient with resistance
and the obduracy of rhyme.
