I Got Up, Sat Down, and Wrote You This Poem
be it an ode, limerick, or elegy
a sonnet, dactyl, or allegory
we, poets, are adept and bereft
quite fond, indeed
when writing of the verse
at immortalizing the very worse
things overall are fine and rather grand
on a off day, blasé, a little bland
but we pick up a pen, suddenly …
here strums the blues
a sunny romantic epic goes wrong
life becomes a country & western song
so I would like to take, just this one day
clear the air, if you’ll allow and I may
a desire to make a write meaningful
and pack a punch
will transform an anti-climatic split
into a gambit of Russian Roulette
I know …
some of my poetry is bleak and stark
just me laughing last, flirting with the dark
no te preocupe; I’m doing fine
I got up, sat down, and wrote you this poem
and made it rhyme
proof, exhibit one, I'm having a good time
