Evocative verse

Evocative verse
 
You may have noticed this poetry
is often comparable to scat syllables
 
or the mumbles of a drunk;
the babbling of a baby
 
or the tra-la-la of a nursery rhyme.
This poetry is what is stated when the poet
 
has run out of metaphors and resorts to incoherence.
The most such a poet can offer is to target those readers
 
who also have run out of words,  
hoping they agree that intent
 
and context are more important than meaning
and like everything else in this phantasmal world,
 
human comprehension and God’s perfection
remain an inexpressibly vast ocean apart.
 
O child of God, the wordsmith shapes evocative verse
from the hesitations and inconsistencies of his own vocabulary.
