PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

But

poet mind

getting confused

by conflicting messages

and commentary

divided by continents

and I’m left

musing over

whether or not

the world even notices

that I have issued

a few sorrowful views

and I consider

that no one really cares

whether or not

I write a birthday poem

to honor the passage

of another year

The poesie now seems guided

by inconsistency

and this newfound inability

to turn on the magic

at the drop of a hat

without advance notice

but I suppose

clichés are in order

because as long as

it matters to me

then it matters at all

to at least one person

for whatever that is worth
