Response/React

The thought arises, slowly gathered

And plainly spoken, but rarely gladder 

Playful and poignant, safely and hasty

My favourite cleoaptra, your patience is wasting

Adore and reflect,

Upon which can't be denied

To deny that of others, I have no reply

Persuade and comply, relent and retort

A mention, a purpose, an inquest, a rort


Let me know, or keep me in the dark

I requested your presence, but you gave me no light
