Genius

Folder: 
Lost Writes (2003)

 

 

Genius is my illusion

For only through confusion

Can I bring forth

Anything of worth.

 

Genius is taking away

The lower things you can say

And leaving only a narrow

Scope of thoughts you can borrow.

 

Genius is repetition

Of a predefined ambition.

Just the telling of old stories

From accepted categories.

 

Genius is not

Writing about what you thought

Genius was at all.

This poem will not fall

Under the genius that you saw.

It has a category flaw.

The rhyme scheme doesn’t fit at all

And the rhythm seems a bit stalled.

But hey… I had a ball..
