Verse First ~ Fence

Welcome to Verse First, where simple notions prompt amazing poems. 

Today's notion?

FENCE

Language, nothing short of amazing, allows us to accurately communicate ideas and information. Except, of course, when multiple or mixed meanings get in the way.

The word fence, for example,  can refer to a structure, a sporting act, criminal sales or a means of protection. It can mean to ward off, to defend or to avoid giving directions. On the fence indicates indecisiveness, or an unwillingness to make a choice.
