A Poem's Like An Iceberg Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

A poem if that be better, better be brief,
One that flows and floats like a dry leaf,
Hidden like an iceberg,
Set to sail smooth and snug,
What's unsaid and unseen rife like riff.

A poem they say should project an iceberg theory: To say more in less (words) . This means: the visible poem is but a small part of what is being said. In jazz short phrases, called riff, are repeated rife.
