PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm told I'm cute in a strange sort of way

or was it I'm strange in a cute way

oh well, I don't really remember the exact words

so who is to say

I think I need to lose some of my unsightly gut

foodwise speaking, I'm a slovenly slut

how did I manage to fall from my diet's grace

and find myself headlong staring a box of temptful

twinkies in the face

come quickly and witness my sugar induced lunacy

at its very best

ofcourse at first you'll find my quite quaint

idiosyncracies rather difficult to digest

my heart is no longer situated north by north west

failure is the cruelest consequence

when you believe you've managed to ace life's

hardest test

with these words my restless and near useless will

power is sedated by incomplete rest

with green eyes endlessly assessing and a lion like

mane of hair falling about my sullen face

I sometimes have the reoccuring tendency to feel

superior to my own race

I would seem full blown with conceit if that were

truly the case

anger often fringes about me like a napkin embroidered

with grandmother's old lace

I've been informed that I am somewhat attractive

with an extensive imagination though

that's all too overly active

that description has been many times before applied

in attempt to neutralize me

but I tend to shrug it off more often than not rather

light heartedly

I feel cornered many times into being such a circus

side show off

my many flaws and ill inadequacies I privately demean

and publicly scoff

I shall now discontinue this near insane pondering

before my meddlesome mind goes completely soft......
