PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

delectable little suddennesses

such flashy mental fellows

they are

some cryptic by subtle degree

that dazzle the enrapt mind's eye

a tasty turn coat of oblong features

indescriminate to one's usual throng of

cataloged experience

with pale, gritty, mock restraint

always reading in tow

for the conversationalists

less broad minded

agility retrieving

every little unrealized crumb of depth

discarded

more importantly

even shallow decency

ranks higher than any

pseudo intellectuals pitch for

a unified ax to grind

in short

no matter how many times steel

turns into rust

true gold

can not be minted from a sack full

of dimes

it pains me every time

to happen upon this sad and haggard

sorry truth

pathetic little frogs

posing as princes

and wounding the previously wooed

with their insincere front

and princes so afraid of seeming like

heartless frogs

never show their true selves

but fractured versions of self

far too absurdly over created to be real

such is

the time less maidens

never ending strife

my own personal experience

with a prancing frog

in a princely garb

was French

Bertrand

I've truly decided

with me

you graduated

and now its set in tone

you will die the charming goat

you all too quickly became

before my very eyes..............
