John Lawless Poet Couplet

Concave Reasoning

Concave Reasoning


he seemed a bit demented
then again, his head was dented

yet he tried his best – and meant it
once they got his head cemented

some said he was tormented
his thoughts too long fermented

inside a head once dented
yet only recently cemented

he seemed to be contented
in a world disoriented

and he never quite repented
for the thoughts he only rented

so that he could present it
mental cash – he quickly spent it

on reasoning augmented
with logic yet unscented

so his teachers all lamented
these theories he invented

after all – his head was dented
only recently cemented

Gershon Wolf January 2, 2018 at 6:37 PM I think this one is a real winner, contest or no contest. I especially liked the "fulcrum" on which it rests: "his head was dented only recently cemented." 3.5 times was just right! ---A great read!

Joseph P. DiMino January 2, 2018 at 11:24 AM And your poem not resented but greatly complimented-- Well done! A fine entry. Good luck.

Mark Peterson January 2, 2018 at 11:20 AM What great fun to read. Can't comment on any particular line, as the whole meshes so cleverly with itself. I wrote a similar one in monorhyme called The Pompous Poet.

CayCay Godwin January 2, 2018 at 10:15 AM Very witty and completely entertaining. I enjoyed the read, John. All the best ... CayCay
