Analysis of Find meaning
Valiantstar 1961 (Sydney)
I notice that writers have a trick,
Their words can have two meanings.
The same lines can reveal
Which way you are leaning.
Some it may curse
Others bless.
Sometimes leave you
Confused and distressed.
"Was that a swipe or a wave?"
He'll never confess.
Now I don't think this poet
Has the power to pick.
Words cut the mustard
And meat to the quick.
Magic is in the readers eye
By interpretation
We live,
Or die.
