"Unrequited"

by Jeph Johnson

 

If good poets need
unrequited love
good lovers
should need
unrequited poetry
so I sent her a good poem
and
when nothing came back
I knew I
finally
was a good lover

This one is a great comedy to read..The hardest part of any art is how to make people laugh at your lowest point..

Seldom does any poem make me laugh aloud, but yours just did. This is priceless. I love it and thanks for posting it so we could all have a good laugh. I really like your style.
