Craft

I have a desperate desire to see a sunset once
From Singapore. I'm lying, but it's a great
Opening sentence. That's all poetry is for me:
A catchy line to be followed by others which
Give the first heft and also sound nice.
The poems can be lies, or they can be true,
Or they can be sausage-like mixtures of both.
Truthfulness isn't an issue for me, and I don't
Believe that it should be for you. Sound
Matters most. Coherence is good, and I'm
Hoping you'll be entertained.
