PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

where the Lord seen fit

to give me

full command

over the wily ink

of this

much too readily free

and familiar blue pen

still

I find my rather rye and satirical

self

quite the snot

at my best

and more and more besotted with

my very own skewed ideas

as to just what

poetry really is

quite embarrassingly though

in a short and shoddy admittance

this must read as extreme mental vanity

on the part of such an obviously green and

wanna be poet

why

do you think me fay?

if not

well then perhaps you should............
