****Prickly Pear****
By Gabriella0000

Prickly pear darts cleverly
	       	   Thrown
To the unsuspecting foe,
Landing on the love of words.
		     Rambled
Explanations of thought seem
To unfurl forward, instead 
		   Falling
Upon deaf ears of the unsuspecting.
English majors as generals standing stiff
				 Guarding
Syntax, grammatical flaws and rhyme
As callous hard nosed pragmatic militia.
		    From their dizziness
They cast to their unsuspecting eyes and ears
Of their word prey.  Poets are sometimes
		       	     An evil lot.  
Especially if overcome with critical commentaries
Of what is truly not meant when written.
