'Bluster' by JD DeHart

​Bluster
JD DeHart
 
Mr. Bluster used to
seem kind and bellows
seemed to have power
in my younger days.
 
A bellow is nothing
more than a rough-
sounding wind.
 
Let the abuser be
his own fence, let
your lovely light
be cherished.
 
Do not spend
your time with anyone
that does not hold
your vision to heart.
 
Share your dreams
with dreamers, your love
with those capable
of loving.
 
Avoid didactic poetry,
when possible, apologies
for this verse included.
