stating the bleedin obvious

 stating the bleedin obvious 


i am not averse to a verse

for that’s the rhyme and reason 

why the hearse drives past with

it’s floral treason …


         poetry is not dead

         just laying in state


and past that catafalque

tomorrow’s poets earn their tears 

and a few dropped fears 


through the coloured glass 

see how the sun dances 

on their upturned rifles


shhhh

what will rhyme with shhhh


           it’s your shout now
