With Ever-Confident-Couth

~

By Rowan Finley Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

There rests another reflection.

Is it an obtuse obsession,

or an eye that sees the art in the ordinary?

Many of these books are especially introspective and introverted,

as they wear their titles privately,

which is certainly not a bad thing,

they just require a bit more patience and affirmation.

They are a different breed of soldier,

who appear at first to be less bolder.

In reality, they may hold even more grit,

as they fight, stand at attention, or sit.

They pique intrigue and tease,

hours of mystery to seize.

Then, as a horizontal brick of truth,

the soldier-maker-book rests with ever-confident-couth.
