Soggy Print















Soggy Print

By John R. Greenwood


Morning smile

Or not

Visions vary

Whose eyes

Ingest

Small tests

To measure

To temper

To tease


Whether to savor

Wet moments

Or only

Cloudless days


Breathe in deeply

Whys and why nots?


Soggy print

Seems less important

Weighed against

Soldiers lost

Hospital beds


Papers new

Return tomorrow

Again

  1. Good idea to put off reading it till the next day and enjoy today! Given the news coming at us these days:) I enjoyed your poem.
