PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

my life has been most recently spoken for

by another of greater perception

make no mistake with me there is no such thing

as loophole nor exception

we run the gauntlet straight down that line of

unsaturated expression

I see my outburst of thought has caused you much

perplexion

my lethargic lust for life holds no aggressions

so far, are there any questions?

I am a smart girl in a torn and twisted time

I try to create reason with a snappy and laconic

rhyme

I can make a lot of cents even with only a dime

my crusty intellect suffering ignorance in

battlement is an almost everyday occurence

I'm not sure just now how high the scales are

to my level of endurence

I speak of strange subjects that are sugject to

obscure and vague description

this tale I narrate to you is not of the greatest

depiction

I can be the most murderous of souls but mainly within my very own

note how quickly I conclude everything to a quick

and neat arduous end

then leap promptly into my safe, makeshift dead zone

prepared to work the whole concept again and yet

again

know that I am not a creature of mere whim

someone as tenacious as me should be kept away

from paper and pen

or you'll get many doses of my fractured lunacy

in its many stages

every now and more unexpected then

be prepared for the most weird and unanticipated

where I your agent of the self disturbed am

concerned

by reading this awkward adaptation of

"My Strange Self" my bizarre tendencies

you will by now have learned............
