DIDACTIC by JACK MERTEN

First Line: TRUTH AND ITS VERSE MORE SURELY GO
Last Line: AN EVEN NECKLACE, END TO END.
Subject(s): TRUTH;

TRUTH and its Verse more surely go
With the sound step the pulses know;
Treading in nice accented feet,
The measured march the red drops beat;
Rubies, whose shapes, like colors, blend:
An even necklace, end to end.
