Notes About The Poem

This does not represent anything to do with my work, it's fiction, and its poetic intention is to make the reader question. It's a preparation for a poetry contest.

Broken: Birth Control

Oh beautiful birth control, how wonderful you play, 
You bring so much joy to my life.
You’re like my religion, I can embrace everyone, 
Especially my neighbour’s blonde wife.

Every morning after, I fall, fall from grace off my bed, 
Fall right onto my knees and pray.
I pray to you, my birth control friend, 
No kids spawned from me, not from this castaway.

Oh my beautiful birth control, I love you so much,
I love how you conquer from her trench.
Now, I need to prepare for tonight’s sexy battle, 
I need to clean, and remake, my nightly workbench.

This is something really unique and creative, loved every line of it. Your "neighbour's blonde wife" had me in splits. Thank you for sharing, Lewis. ~karam~
