PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

a part of my least likable self

I fear somehow gets accepted

when yet another wanting poem of mine

falls predictably prey to the sweet

mysteries of the page

just as God likely intended 'ere maybe

even expected

all my debts to him in the recognized

end must be paid

'tis simply the way you see

the collection of them

(such poems cornered upon the page

I mean)

hails from other's eyes

enjoying the vulnerable read

or even questioning a line

the cycle is almost illuminating

when one clearly thinks about it

the spirit

in such this

must flatly marvel

over the mass extent

to one's typical greed

while quite shallow it seems

has become our 'Fruitless Regiment'

of daily thoughts...............
