A Charlatan Of Verse

An empty voice with naught to say,

a barrel hollow born

 

To spout and spew, pontificate,

a hairless sheep forlorn

 

With lines recopied, often stole,

released, his name to bear

 

A charlatan of spoken verse

—embezzled words to share

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
