Sotto Poet Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Boundless Lawlessness

I've generally battled vulnerability. 
I'm not even close to what I ought to be. 

I notice myself faltering in the water alike a log. 
Mr. Culpability, can you hear my pathetic blog.

I've been in anguish because of my apathy. 
I don't notice whether I mend and gain some theory. 

I'm similar to a plane colliding with the Earth. 
Mr. Obligation, temper me in going girth.

My transgression was my erroneous gloss. 
I've needed to stumble rather than be in progress. 

I've been oppressed by lethargy for longer. 
I'm tired of hearing "Morons" again and over.
 
Ineptitude won't sustain the edge unexpectedly.  
Flightiness won't ever again hold the mastery.

Victor Buhagiar August 8, 2021 at 2:36 AM A great lament. Before we absolve ourselves with mea culpa, things can only get worse.

Sara Kendrick August 7, 2021 at 11:30 AM Creative work you have penned. Seems like a saw a contest about couplets and if this is for the contest I believe it to be a good contender. Way to go. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara Sotto Poet August 7, 2021 at 12:26 PM Thank you so much, Sara; your kind words are so motivating for me. I didn't actually craft the poem for a contest, but I won't hesitate if any opportunity comes up. Blessings and kindest wishes.

Besma Riabi Dziri August 7, 2021 at 10:28 AM How much such a soliloquy needed in a still time, and profound silence.. How much we need to bare our souls to our inner Selves.. and see into our beauty and flaws.. So wonderful is the flow of your thoughts! So beautiful is the tone of your poetry! God bless you, Lasaad.. A great pleasure to read! My deepest regards and blessings. Sotto Poet August 7, 2021 at 12:43 PM Greetings, Besma!
