THE MAIN THING
I don't care
about your poem
What I mean is
I DON'T CARE...
if your poem is political
I just won't be discussing
it with you
if your poem is personal
as long as you are
only crying in ways that
don't show on the outside
if your poem is salacious
as long as it's funny and dirty
at the same time
if your poem
is a prose poem if you
don't mind me saying it's prosaic
if your poem is a sonnet
I'll just imagine you
in your Easter Bonnet
if you stole your poem
from someplace else as long as
it's nothing I've already read
if your poem is an erasure poem
(you should have erased it
before anyone saw it)
The main thing is
that you get on with it
because
we
both
know
this
ends
badly
for him
for you
for me
quite possibly for the world
and most assuredly
for this poem

DeleteI knew I should have written a sonnet. I don't care that you paint your fingernails. That is not true. I do...and I am never going out with you:)
ReplyDeleteI can still imagine you with your Easter bonnet! Whew...you had me worried there for a moment about the fingernails...but I only paint my toes.

LOL! I feel you, brother.
Indeed, Kerry! If you wear your heart on your sleeve it's easier for anyone to come along and break it.
DeleteHahaha yes it seems like that way sometimes that people either don't care or perhaps simply don't get it. 💞
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking in, Sanaa!
DeleteI love that no matter how fun and quirky your poems are, you manage to add a depth that requires some deep thinking. Love this
