A Free Verse Poem Response to Neha Sandhir S ‘Never-Ending Poem’ thread Promise
They look into the camera lens
With honed expressions of honesty,
Make their promises
For you to believe, crossed fingers
Behind their spineless backs
Spewing their lies in what must be
The third person, surely
They can not perform the acts
Of their father with conscience clear?
Off-camera and out of sight
I’m sure the horns come out
And the tail is released as they
Celebrate their twisted deceit,
Snorting like demented
Bulls to the red cape of their father
Suckling on his horn of plenty, unabashed
Until satisfied and ready for the next barrage
Of lies and promises to be broken.
Thank you for reading. J.

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the challenge of Martin Rushton that thoughts acquire speed, the mind acquires,
words, words become writing. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
Name that re-worked quote, a clue? It's a movie, another clue, Sci-Fi…
