Prismatic Appraisal Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

Stop, look, and listen, imprint glistens, see
words wire taut, well caught, of themselves require
standards unset, spontaneous, to be:
though goal unsought, far from the crowd's mud mire.
Let drop by drop from inspiration's tree
pearl down to crown rhyme, rhythm all admire,
encapsulate amber eternity
to time-trap thoughts, acts, objects, free from ire.

One stores verse story’s glory in the mind,
retinal rainbow stimulating each
synaptic link both in and out of reach,
display whose ray may play before, behind.

Word flow sensations sows and by degree,
can catalyze a metamorphic fire
as empathy extends its energy
incandescent, lends dimensions higher
to time and space and place which, falling free,
rise to surprise and stimulate the lyre.
Time loses its accustomed hierarchy
thus finite frontiers, limits soon expire.

In context crystalline we find outlined
prismatic tones some play, which more may teach
than meets the eye, contact points combined,
with ease, these inner inhibitions breach.

Words flow where none could know they’d go, no key
is needed where there’s no directive spire,
no cue restrictive, new priority
in depth is found, ground falls away, kite flyer
spins top-like, fights against Earth's gravity
reintegrates new levels which aspire
to spread, to wed when seedbed cavity
spores explode, explore, more growth inspire.
Words flow, emotions echo, each assigned
its place to interaction trace where speech
is often too restrictive, predefined,
thought modes aligned, too taut one must impeach.

Words taught, untaught, exchanged, are vector we
extend from passing trend as minds inquire,
as echoes through blue organ flue flow free
or meanings ancient bend to suit soul's choir
in harmony, or melting melody,
or raven caw reacting to some liar,
cabalist, hermetic, open key,
energy decoding deep desire.

So verse to verse responds spontaneous
to take up arms against a troubled seed,
to laugh with, never at unless some cuss,
to read behind the lines for more to read.
