Poetry by Robert Stone: Pathways from the here and now

A word-list sonnet, 10 March 2019
Aortas ought to be more easily
inspectable so absence of disease
would lead to joy in sausage fried guilt free
and plethora of jalapeno cheese.

All chessboard queens to seeming better spots
will run, duplicitous but camouflaged
as targets tempting those who know few plots
and likely will be simply sabotaged.

In choosing pathways from the here and now
consider what and where as well as when
not fearing but determined to learn how
to be the knowing why who start again.

Too many recipes for fruitcake mean
what curdles are within remain unseen.


Word list: absence – aorta – curdle – duplicitous – fruitcake – jalapeρo – plethora – queen – run – sausage. Words chosen at the February meeting of Poetry in the Boro, Murfreesboro
