Ransacked
Portland, 11 July 2017
You made off
with all the loot
stalking my poems
swapping words unnoticed
Replacing verbs:
ransack for plunder
strip for swipe
poach for pilfer
Replacing nouns:
dust for powder
soot for cinders
fragments for flakes
You made off
with booty and bounty
preying on primitives
deceitful synonyms
