Absurd Poetic Humor

sometimes all you need is simple words for simple truths you have no need to rhyme or paint a masterpiece you can say ...   i love the world   i see the light   her beautiful eyes   her thick shimmering hair; or even   skin so fair and luminescent as to blind the foolish onlooker.   see how simple and unpretentious great poetry can be?   no need for long winded imagery painted, so thick as to require a double shot of insulin.   simplicity i assure you is the secret to fine poetry at least that's just the way i ride, simple, unassuming.   you know the theory "less is more" why use ten words when one or two is all you need to make your poetic point.   i mean there has to come a time when you've tasted the essence of the simple point you created.   for instance why live in a fifty room mansion when a lovely country bungalow a sort of summer cottage a small quaint beach home a tiny mountain chalet an exquisite city apartment a hotel suite a bachelor pad a single room and no more will do, largely.   that's exactly my point keep it short and simple no one is going to appreciate a piece no matter how lovely it is that goes on and on for no apparent reason   well ... go figure my writing hand i believe has seized up.

This turned out to be a rather long and certainly NOT simple piece....but I did enjoy reading it.
