This Is The Third


For several days now

I have had two poems in my head

Balanced, as it were.


Today I wrote one down

And as I did the second vanished.

           
This is the third.




3 lines


I wanted to fit all you are into three lines

Will you wait till I improve

Or will I wait till you diminish




No, no, no, no, no


My father lies

Full fathoms six.



Contrary git.




Oh My Scars


'Oh oh my scars, my wounds, my scars'
     
You flaunt your scabs for all to see

And reckon that it's poetry

That comes out if you squeeze them hard.




This Actually Happened


Today

I found my wallet

Of my limited exposure to poetry on this site, it it my opinion that no one writes short poems any better than you.

Humorous... Moving... Sometimes even rhyming...

Thanks for the gifts.

Thank you, Ron, and for the favourite. In the short-poem category I strongly recommend :devzebrzazebrazebra:, ~SpazzkortheAbsurd, and ~NostalgiaOfMud. Thanks again, and a happy new year to you.

"How did it get so late so soon?
It's night before it's afternoon.
December's here before it's June.
My goodness how the time has flewn.
How did it get so late so soon?"

Short and explosive.
The last two made me laugh out loud.
I just love what you do to language.
Keep them coming.

It's the way you say it, just matter-of-factly, like you could be trying to decide what to eat for dinner :giggle:
