Edge, Pledge & Sledge Poem by John Sensele

In the blink of an eye, I hit the road
Tearing clutters, tatters and matters
That sense the essence of odds the broad
Faces in verses the sooth sayer utters.

In the blink of an eye, I swear never again to wear
The ring and bling the fling strings together
To swing wings that swear to flare
When the glare of gloom tears for good her tether.

In the blink of an eye, I spurn the urn
That boils, coils and spoils the affection
I knew I'd earned in return
For the diligence and sapience I'd injected into the infatuation.

In the blink of an eye, I ram the slum and scram into the sledge
To edge out the page the sage waged promote the mote
That drove a wedge between her ledge and stage I pledge
No longer to quote, promote or tot.
