Poetry by Heath Brougher

Picture
               ​William Clifford CC




​Overcome 
 
It’s all bad--
but we can always change it back/
mirror its mutations/
use our primary survival muscle 
to outsmart and finally triumph over it 
in the dampenedsweet euphonyrain 
of our collective Humanitarian hallelujahs 
and yawps of barbaric personification. 




​
True Vision
 
In the land of the blind
everyone had perfect vision
though few could Truly see.
 
As the eyeful yet visionless crowd
paraded through the main streets
a one-eyed man stood in a dark alley
wearing a crooked grin and giggling to himself.

Thank you Sarah. I was actually extremely sleep deprived (really? me!? lol!) and submitted the unedited versions of these poems. Thank you for liking how they were “right off the bat.” When I have some of that “time” stuff again, I’m going to do a book of micro poems and use the properly edited versions. I’ll still be giving credit to AHC on page of where they were previously published. Don’t worry AHC. Lol!
