Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

Poetic Issues

I've got serious poetic issues 
The rhyme in my mind never quits
I've seen countless shrinks over the years
That asure me this is it
When  along comes another snag 
Here yet comes another riff

It starts off all sweet and subtle
The way purring kittens do
Soon enough to a roaring lion 
Salivating over poetic stew
I'm at the point where I now realize
There's not a lot that I can do

So it's back to pen and paper
Pounding out the daily poems
Like a mess of party favors
Take your favorite flavor home
Guess with me and the insanity of poetry
I'm destined to never be alone
