Untitled 8/24/19 Poem by Andy Brookes

Some fact about poets
they don't always tell the truth
they paint the world as they'd like it

no serenades nor paint nor plaster,
scenes behind the scenes,
confusion reigns so and so and so
lemon skies or gunmetal trees

breezing in of the sea
see and so and so and so
jongleurs, minstrals or songsters
spinning tall tales or shot myths

painting with words, words within words, within worlds,
wishes or trifles or sad songs

some fact about poets
they don't always tell the truth
but the question you need to ask is am I
