PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Something in the way

she moves

but that so cliché

and I’m embarrassed

to write such a line

that’s my flaw

I always catch

my errors before

someone else does

never stopped me

from making new ones

which is another problem

but let’s not get into that

This was supposed

to be a poem

about a woman

that moves so fine

and looks so good

but instead

it has becomea preamble

on the inefficiency

of my poetics

So since I now

have lost sight

of the woman

who moves so fine

and looks so good

I might as well

continue to examine

all the flaws

and shortcomings

of my poetics

Right about now

I really could go for a beer

since the woman is gone

and I’m alone

I’ll never find

a way

to be able

to write a poem

about this situation

but let’s not delve

into that

and create yet

another problem

I have enough

of those already
