PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

it's difficult living with one's recognized talent
it's like an alter ego waiting to pounce
it is widely known after all
that the ball cannot easily get away from its bounce
I find myself on the underbelly of life
and often not knowing why
perhaps the phrase 'weather life as it comes'
I should pen so to apply
everyone gets a kick out of making others squirm
each feels it's only fair he should have a chance
to take his turn
one might say that is a left handed concept
derived from the lack of proper education on
social issues
since I am the leader of this page
I decide and divvy out my opinions about
and to whomever I choose
remember brilliance on any level is slow in
the making
it's like a parade of constant inconvenience
left lying about for the taking
trickery falls heavily into the category of
aggressive persuasion
a brutal concept aiding and abetting attempts
of subtle evasion
when something comes to one quickly
it's lost just as so
maybe that's why I fancy the workings of the
'master of strange', Sir Edgar Allen Poe
I like his style
it has a certain thick, blood like flow
it's dark
it's devastating
it makes one appreciate Poe's favorite creature
the crow............
