PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I strictly write for my sad yet satirical sake

though it gladdens me to hear some enjoy the sketchy

attempts at prose I frequently make

poetically speaking, I am but a tender pen-poking

fanatic

yet spontaneous ideas can become too often

harsh, tense or overly dramatic

in a fit of unwanted mental exhaustion

I give into an almost desperate form of personal

pause

as I sit out this game of 'Deny Me Not'

I feel the quick closing in of the awakening walls

if in yourself you can't find the strength to forgive

in ready at hand reserve

then perhaps you should question whether or not

you have what is aptly called the unflinchable

steel nerve

to the air of misfortune I have taken quite a rare

resemblance

conscientiousness of what is right and wrong

can aid yet become an in disposable hindrance

to construct for myself a new and better future

I must come to terms with ill pieces of the recent

past

to the vain attempts at passable realization

I stand back fully aghast

but saner minds must continue their quests to

conquer and prevail

even if it means saying as little or as much as

you like

just keep an eye on your tail

to the limited freedoms of today I can not readily

conform

but some would rather hide in the trees

away from the impending storm

for the institution of the mentally incompetent

I am a least likely candidate

but I am rather curious about what is to be my

pending fate

writing out of the accepted lines

with me, its a common trait

but I've before dealt with a lot of adverse reaction

including unwarranted hate

thank you for being so kind as to glance over this

I am notably flattered

usually general opinions on the whole to me never

before really mattered

and I thank you for letting me finish these fine

notes

from what is written

my temperament fervently promotes........
