Untitled

I'm writing narrative poetry

To please the masses with verse

Un-versed because nobody knows

How to do it anymore.

 

(insert metaphor for the heart)

 

Heart's are just organs teaspoons are the real deal

Here is happiness,tempest on a teaspoon

Getting quicker with the drips don't call them tears

Where's the originality?

 

(cackle at alteration and appreciate the notion

of a bracket and enjambement)

 

If emotion rests in the balance of milliliters

I'm calling it real because hearts beat

And that's it; don't romanticise, rationalise.

Your brain is intelligence doesn't mean it's apathy.

 

(end it here before people know you're being insulting

and **** ink tears into little noteboks)
