D.W. Rodgers Poet Free verse

Is and Isn'T

it is what it is
one of your 
favourite truisms
and without the key
to a parallel universe
i cannot dispute

yet it's what isn't
that's our real problem
it isn't warm in here
there isn't food in the fridge 
and the love we had
isn't there
anymore

Lynn Marie April 10, 2017 at 11:55 PM A great title with words to match Dave:) The second verse, sad, ...the last three lines really sad yet that's what makes this little poem so good and unique to you. lynnxxx had to check to make sure your title words weren't in my comment..lol D.W. Rodgers April 12, 2017 at 12:54 PM Thanks Lynn, sometime a line catches me and I have to play with it and this was one of those.

Poet Destroyer A February 16, 2016 at 8:26 PM That is why I use the word, AIN'T... LOL... I'm kidding.. ha, my mind is boggling. I wonder if you had fun writing this one. Always ~LINDA~ D.W. Rodgers February 17, 2016 at 11:25 AM Thanks Linda. In its way it was fun - one of those little bits you jot down when you wake up in the middle of the night. Then in the morning, try to figure out what to do with it.
