Question: What think you of a 'forked tongue' poem!?
And as inelegantly coarse
You say sang
To my eyes, ears, back,
( insipidly, stupidly )
Everything curling petals
Brown!.

Feathers, hail, words
Always always!.!.!.fall!.

Incredibly never loose
Valued tears
Of purpose!.!.!.

Diamonds should never
Touch the Earth
Again!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
