It's One of Those Fabulous Poems
IT’S ONE OF THOSE FABULOUS POEMS
It’s one of those poems
full of whimsical stuff
when you’ve read a few lines
you’ve had more than enough.
it triggers a smile
and it throws you off-track
you don’t want to read it
but keep coming back
it has no direction
no themes or no plots
but it grabs your attention
seizes your thoughts.
it’s one of those poems
you just can’t explain
why you read it
again and again.
It’s one of those poems
that just doesn't make sense
it has not a present
or even past tense
with the subject confusing
it doesn’t seem fair
it sucks you right in
then leaves you hanging there
it may give you a headache
it may make you groan
but somehow you just
can’t leave it alone.
it’s one of those poems
you’d like to hide on a shelf
but you wish you had
written your self.
It’s one of those poems
where the style is wrong
too long for a lyric
too short for a song
It’s one of those poems
difficult to review
the meter is off
the formats askew
it’s one of those poems
you never thought you would keep
but it plays in your mind
as you’re trying to sleep
though it's not your genre
somehow it hooks you
you can’t wait till
your friends read it too.
IT'S ONE OF THOSE FABULOUS POEMS!
