Mastermind

Mastermind

A Poem by William Michael Reeves
"

An Acrostic Decette

"
MASTERMIND wrote rules to test a poet.
A GAME of words found; writ when you get,
STREET of paper to drive on then
TALL tales told walk on my pen.
End in LAUGHTER on us.
Revolving CHAIR rocks
MUSIC that talks
Is JEALOUS ~
Now BOX ...
DARK.

Author's Note

William Michael Reeves
This is for a contest. Thought I give one a try. The words in all caps are required for the contest. And I discovered you have to post a poem before you can enter it. Having some fun. Poor music box got written out of our lives by poets with iPods.

This is an Etheree poem, I believe. Interesting to hear that you are an artist and a musician as well as a poet. So often several of the arts seem to go together to some degree. I am a musician and a photographer in addition to being a poet. I come from a family of painters, but I displayed very little talent for painting! I went for the easier option and took up photography! Good luck in the poetry contest!

Is the Mastermind is Syr Richard? don't complain if he gets hard on You, because then he is bringing the best in You ;> music and poetry are like two wedded couple isn't it so? can a poet live without music? the real, silent, or ethereal one? of course not. Hello Mr. Bill, did Billigami win?

Thanks. Maybe after the contest is over you could reveal why you picked those particular words. You must have had something in your mastermind.

Writing is creative and testing a poet is just wanting to see how much and good he/she can used words to create and you've done a beautiful one here.

Everyone just need to improve on themselves in one way or the other.

Keep writing, Will.
