how can people write
four line stanza pieces
rhyming on two and four
or one and three
one and four
three and two
is it creative? –
last time I wrote couplets
I was a weak ******
failing in my attempt to relate
the experience of personal hell
through ****** prose
writing with a beat in my head
and a beret on my heart
miming to the passersby
hoping to be relevant –
scanning the chasm I catch myself
immersed in hostility
over what I perceive to be the easy way
day after day
poets play
while I struggle to breath
drowning in the sing-song *******
of another trite
1 and 3, 2 and 4
sham –
life breeds poets of all structure
acceptance of differences is the key
to harmony and balance
this type of peace
can lick my crack
it needs to cease
hope you have a heart attack –
