PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I need these two days of quiet uninterrupted bliss

like a real Lady in the days of old needed to hear

applied to her surname the formal address meant of miss

perhaps I need an extended vacation

of the full and not so serious sort

and maybe just a little reminder that to verbal violence

I no longer should resort

if this were indeed a law

would I be forced to be held in contempt of court

what wouldn't I say you know I would have many an

angry abusive retort

would I fall into the gutter only to come out a traitor

and name my so far unnamed cohort

or would I keep to myself quiet and instead worry like

the proverbial wart

my pending break teeters on the edge of necessity

so I'm being the epitome of patience itself

like a modern day good sport

you must pardon me while I cut close to the page and

leave you dangling

for some attempts of confession are best if left

as sweet as they are short............
