Inflictus Poeticus

I'm so completely full of rhyme
like a bad case of acne
I'm oozing all the time
forever poems are brewing
as awe and words combine
like a bad ass rash
burning something quite sublime





circa 2006

Aha, Maureen! You've given new meaning to the 'B.A.' Used to think it meant 'Bad Attitude.' Now I know what it really means when those college grads wave their paper at me. LOL. :) gw
