Poem Title:
Poem
I will start with a word Not knowing where it will take me "inconsistencies" No never mind Forget that word Oh shit I can't think of a word What kind of a poet am I? I'll sit here and scratch my head Until the blood comes Hoping it will flow with inspiration Fortunately my nails aren't sharp But apparently neither is my mind I feel like I am wielding a stick instead of a sharp sword So with my stick I will poke you Like you are a bear Perhaps I can get your attention Why do I want your attention? Honestly I don't have a clue I guess I have always been a bit clueless It seems to work for me in some odd way My friend tells me she marches to the beat of her own accordion I think I'll stick with drums because I'm a bit tone deaf I guess that is one of my own inconsistencies There it is I'm back to that word I guess it's not such a bad word after all Maybe I should have given it more thought "Maybe" Now there's an interesting word Maybe I should quit while I'm behind I really like the view from back here Let everyone else quit while their ahead I can still see them so in the end did they really get that far What exactly did they want? I have never really wanted what they want Wanting sometime hurts Who needs hurting It's not to say that I don't want I just want differently I want in a quieter way And to be honest That's just the way I like it "Besides" Another good word I think I'm going to go in another direction The road less traveled Not the road not traveled After all I do enjoy company from time to time Even if you Whoever "you" are might think I'm crazy After all we're likely to be on different roads anyway I think in the end If it is the end I think That it should be could be fun! "fun" another good word. This was weird and fun! For John Lawless's "Don't fight it write it contest.
