X..... Gentle In Reverse (Mirror Sestet) Poem by Aufie Zophy

X..... Gentle In Reverse (Mirror Sestet)

Rating: 5.0


Keen on suit and tie, but what do coat and tie mean?
Mean indeed, can the gentlemen be if only on money they're keen
Lean on compassion, liking to put up a scene
Seen as handsome but on their shoulder not a cripple could lean
Obscene in their language, always looking clean.
Clean hanky in pocket, but harassing a teen, truly obscene

The mask of out worldly well dressed people is humorously exposed. Thought provoking poem.

Fascinating, especially as I've never seen the 'mirroring' in simply a sestet form yet. Looks well done, if substituting the same-sounding word seen/scene is acceptable, which variations are usually allowed. Fascinating and thought-provoking. I enjoyed the entire piece. Excellent! ! !
