Randomling Thoughts
#1
I am a randomling
know not of what I sing
don’t know a freakin’ thing
that’s prob’ly why I sing
#2
Perchance the cat got out the house
evicted by the realty mouse
claiming that the litter box
was grounds to change all of the locks
#3
Seven times in seven days
I checked the doors – quite unafraid
then hid beneath the covers – deep
pretending I was fast asleep
#4
I took a shot at “randomling”
wound up lost and ramble-ing
through dusty thoughts and crossed out lines
poetic threads in search of rhymes
unable to reverse rhyme’s curse
to stoop to writing unrhymed verse.
#5
thus do we approach the pages end
a straightened line that will not bend
unable to reset the norm
of poetry - as beast – unshorn
