Refugee?

[Johntee]

Refugee?


No ocean but stranger danger

the lands that border

something other

Un-American

Ideas

North nearing

truth unsmeared

South facing fear unfettered

A Body of Thought press Enter.

[Parkinsonspoet]

Truth unsmeared a dangerous idea

That ending, so sublime to my eye and ear. I can't figure out why, either. Love the construction, such symmetry pleases my senses. I was just thinking recently about the South, imagining an Angel pointing towards the North with a sword.

That word... Unamerican. Cool poem, Johntee. Thank you for sharing

out of the stream
in answer to America #3
by Tanner. I was pleased
with the result of constructing
it on the spot, only requiring
reformatting to shape
