Eight-line Poems

On Quiet Asides

On Quiet Asides

Here’s to the marvellous mumble
that avoids many a rumble,
leaps over rather than stumbles,
holds together and never crumbles.

If a quiet answer you miss,
do not think a louder one’s bliss,
for the meaning might make you hiss,
and knowing won’t lead to a kiss.
