I write poetry
I write it because I'm deep
I write it because I'm sad,
Deep down, I write it for everyone else
Not just only for myself
I'm a poet
I rhyme what means to be together
I speak through all the leather
I comment on the weather
I write poetry, it makes me better
(Than you!)
I write in second person
Because I'm talking to someone
And you don't know them
I have an agenda to complete
I need to be a mystery
Something you think needs undone
One dumb idea become a barrel of Nonsense
I need to be unknown
Yet still somehow opaque
Without any figuration or even
Alliteration
All added aloud and across
By my keyboard, by my keys
i type in lowercase
and it means i figured something out
it means i care about my lines
less, more about my stanza
Because this is a poem, after all!
And I'm a poet, after all!
I write poetry, it's short
I write, post it,
Never think about it once more!
