The Hollow Edifice

Copyright Sandra Crook

So if I was to write

Lines separated

By random

Carriage returns

Throw in some nebulous

Sentiments

Talk about

Feelings

Mumbling about ideology

Plight of refugees

Racism and sexism

 Would you berate me?

About my blatant violation

Of the rules of poetry

Or be embarrassed

To admit

That

This

Is

Junk

A hollow core

With a crumbling edifice

Because for all you know

This could be the latest trend

And being one of the

Literati

You wouldn’t want to

Step out of the circle

You would talk

Of the yearning desire

Emotions felt

As nobody

Wants

To be a critic

Ok I've a silly entry in this week, maybe I'll grow up and write something more serious later ;-)                                                                                                                                                                       

I've been listening to great songs from the seventies recently and I've got obsessed with this song.  I have vague recollection of hearing this group as a child but now I can't seem to stop listening.
