'Poem of the Day'

My aspirations mock me my 'poetry's' prose When I 'sink' "I've 'got it now" ze toilet overflows My metaphor's hum-drum, similes stale my allusions as delicate as Moby the Whale My plots are just schemes, so are my themes at night they turn dreams into screams... Oh, how I wish just for once I could say ~ I've really truly penned 'Poem of the Day'

Well, Gershon, your plaintive plea was heard by the algorithmic assessment team. The AI interpretive squad were completely dumbfounded as they had no idea what the h.ll you were talking about. I must admit you had me laughing....at myself....
