Iron is an essential ingredient
a mass content
in the blood so tiny
in the heart so small
Ol' Sparky
O' kneeling sitting
the Beloved
you, in the canoe
shiny briny
bitter true.
A water lily war
such a ship
may no longer
over the oceans
ancestral spark
not to mar.
Here on this sea
diving
pea blue
travel
midget
minor flea.

This poem is one of those things you come across in a day, a story, a song, a phrase....which just resides in your head and you are unable to think about anything else...now this happens rarely to me but this poem was stuck in my head for a loooong time and I couldn't get it out of my head, no matter how many BVB songs I listened to, it'd just stick there...

Heavy enough to feel in the chest & brain, light enough to be one of the funnest poems I've ever read aloud. So bitter, so true. Nice clash here. Your use of the English language contains much wit, razor-sharp. Good stuffs, fella....
