Proportions

Poem Artwork

Of my short and long verses

Nine in ten are allegorical;

Of all my wordy illustrations

Seven in ten are metaphorical.

 

The rest of my works are like

The water that daily fills the cup,

Tempered and harmonized

By the heavenly elements

In our earthly environment.

 

The use of such allegorical writing

And metaphorical illustrations

Is not my fault, but the fault of men

Who would not otherwise

Readily understand my poetic creation.

Of course. Most poetry written without these elements are a bore.
Honestly portrayed here. Thank you.

You have given us the perfect word for this year. Truth is always a shifting/constant unknown that we toy with until our distortions displace it. Proportion at least keeps us living near the center - a location I wish for you in this year and in those to come, Alex. Please keep your understanding of wisdom flowing in my direction!

Ha, ha, keep them coming. I will only blame myself if I don't understand them. John
