Another Rule To Break
Well the experts say
in your poetry
don’t use a cliché
to tell your story
bleeding hearts of men
the tail of a dog
clucking like old hens
croaking like a frog
a bright twinkling star
the light of the moon
runs like a new car
humming a soft tune
she’s the cat’s meow
the chug of a train
a slow drifting cloud
the patter of rain
even this rhyme scheme
they always told me
has no place it seems
in your poetry
well maybe what’s wrong
with this world today
we still go along
with what experts say
cause with no cliché
just what can I do
no ‘Happy Birthday’
or an ‘I Love You’
my advice is to
forget what they say
if it works for you
do it anyway
