PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

One word

leads to another

and soon

you have a sentence

and not a whole

lot more than that

so you have

to pretend

that it’s something

more than it is

and exaggeration

and hype

become the norm

It’s just a sham

but the hope is to transcend

that muck

there is a vigor

enveloping

my visionary eye

as I glance outward

at my surroundings

Can’t really claim

to be impressed

I ain’t really sure

if any of it

holds any significance

to me

It is what it is

Which is just

Another moment

in this long-playing game
