Wed Din Stale Snail Mail Trail Tale Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

WED DIN STALE SNAIL MAIL TRAIL TALE
Female/Male Hail Hale Gale Rale Ale Bail Pail Jail Ail Frail Quail Fail Nail: Stale Trail Scale Snail Mail Tale



Man and bride,
masculine,
feminine,
yang and yin
coincide
for life’s ride.
Seconds spin
out and in,
end, begin
cycles’ slide
which, worldwide,
joy, chagrin,
kith and kin
start from skin,
bones end, - tied
to no known guide.
This wed din
where we twin
safety pin
may provide
mankind’s pride
moral thin,
mortal sin,
bottled gin,
throttled djinn,
for life’s tin
soldier stride
soon hung, tried –
boon tongue-tied
override
round-robin
lived and died.
