Smidgens
American Enjambment
The red and white stripes
Are lines of verse
With enjambments sewn
Together, needle and thread
Metaphors balancing, teetering
Between mistakes and hope,
Anger and empathy.
The blue field
Sits square, upper left
Tucked in the corner
An indigo poetry
Tailored, patched…..and….
Attached to the stinging
Stanzas of the stripes.
Blue’s reaction is to produce stars

What’s most interesting to me here is that the poetry, embodied by the stripes, is what’s on such shaky ground. Poetry and uncertainty. But this teetering is so spot-on, isn’t it? As careful and precise as good poetry (like this poem) is, it’s also a delicate art. Great work!
