PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'll adopt the fault and say
I'm sorry that
I mistook you for a canvas.

I'm sure it wasn't my place
to aggravate
with paints and stencils, which
made a shapely mess
of you.

I'd rather be your turn of phrase
when tongues tie,
but the point grows moot;
we saunter apart -
my words at odds
with you.
