PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

ugliness is beauty's bride,

the square the circle circumscribes

the ocean's tumultuous crashing tides,

so placid when the music dies

the dissonance in the way you speak

each syllable a cacophony

a laugh but you don't show your teeth

a dollar where a dime should be

a flower in an empty field

is quicker to die and slower to heal

but a lie is easy to conceal

in a meadow full of truths to shield

and a penny's given

when a dime's deserved,

and a laugh is given

but a cry is heard
