renegade verses

Even though the carefully constructed stanzas

were designed to produce satisfying tastes

renegade verses ablaze like red plasma

leapt from the poem on a ravenous chase

Into little flames licking, envious, abased.

What smallest of arcing upon drying leaves

cast forests afire charred and defaced,

belching autonomous flickering, viral disease.

And the dear, humbled poet drops to his knees

blistering, melting through the cracks of his floor

crying, "this isn't the way I meant it to be!"

yet after consumed the blaze strengthens more. 

The poem, seared and broiled though it be,

left a scar tissue manuscript, the poet's ashes secede.

small flickering, most often autonomous in origin, it is a real crisis for the poet and will tear him apart emotionally, even if he corrects it as it was read already the scar of the damage remains, in nutshell impossible to fully reverse the damage, which is a tragedy and shame as poet meant for the best , so true when sensitive topics like gender, homosexuality, religion, ethics, abortion, political views are dealt with, any area is also vulnerable, may be lesser chances, very relevant topic, poem fully succeeded in bringing light to that message
