Don't Hesitate Til You Know
I am an idolator and all my works are good
I have long fought shrieking cutting air
Wrest free at last these few words I have
Now to mould them for my gentler aims
I am an idolator and all my works are good
The ideal image holds children giggling
Waving their feet in a watercourse sparkling
Warmth of the lone Sun glow upon them
I am an idolator and all my works are good
This picture painted hangs central to my mind
Artist or maestro take all my gold and silver
So create a sweet music of falling leaves
Aglow the smith at the forge!
And all my works are good

Oh I do like this. The repetition of that line - is this a 'form' poem? I'm crap at recognising any form.
It feels biblical to me, almost godlike in its authoritarian narrative.
That second line is pure killer. One I wish I'd written myself.
