PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

A matchbook

from Fergie’s Pub

probably isn’t gonna

inspire any poetry tonight

but the pot

that’s being lit with

the matches just might

the reliance

on de ganja startles some

as they ponder

whether or not it should

discredit my performance

but I ain’t an athlete

blown up thru steroids

or perfectly legal Andro

I’m just a would be poet

infatuated with the word

and startled when it’s verse

I ignored the warnings

about the water

and comical interludes

weren’t enough

to clear the congestion
