Su rreal it hurts

Post by 2Strictly_Confidential »

when this surreal convention hits town
and they hang the delegates upside down
to adress an audience that left yesterday
then and only then will I whisper my truth
the minute after the town is evacuated
I will shout it from the roof
exposing myself to no-one
and boldly confronting nothing
would you like to hear my truth
dust and ashes
that's my proof

Nothing

Dear SC

What a wonderfully visual and descriptive opening line it conjures up so many options and possibilities, but not a bit of nothing.

I like the poem.

Cheers

Yes, it grabs you from the start.

Nit. I'd like to see whisper & shout given more emphasis
but no idea how

Nit. Don't much like the direct address to the reader
Would you like to hear my truth

Very futuristic.
