a rose by any other

the powers that
be
have no
heart
change names of
simple
things for
no
real reason
than that
they
thought it time

epinephrine does not
have
the ring the
raw
emotive sense of
adrenaline rush
no consonant
ring
hard enough to
truly
capture my
response
to your
smile

    This reminds me of one of my favourite A D Hope poems. Similar theme:

    I like it. Nice one Tim. Heh, been a while since I saw the minstrels, used to get poems from them all the time.

    The Hope poem is fitting, but for mine, try this one: http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/1528.html
