Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

Stupid Contra Poem

Stupid poem,
Makes no sense,
Nonsense words,
Falling off the page,
Looking sideways
Words don’t fit
No rhyme
No tempo
Bound for the trash
Wasted paper                           and ink
But wait       think
Some abstract
Will love it
Stupid poem
Will have a home
Just because
It is a poem

James Inman October 22, 2018 at 4:08 PM How true Timothy. We choose to read into a poem what is personal for each of us. What is stated in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy about the worst poem in the galaxy is but one interpretation. Timothy Mcguire October 22, 2018 at 8:08 PM You are right James. Abstract art in any form will have a following. If we can forget our worries for moment, that is a good thing. Thanks

Tom Cunningham October 22, 2018 at 10:36 AM Congratulations on your verse Timothy. A fun contest for sure. Tom. Timothy Mcguire October 22, 2018 at 12:42 PM Thanks buddy

Line Gauthier October 22, 2018 at 10:11 AM Back with congrats, Timothy. Well done.

Line Gauthier July 7, 2018 at 6:45 AM A fun poem, Timothy. A poem for the sake of a poem. Timothy Mcguire July 12, 2018 at 2:19 AM That poem came after staring at a blank paper for thirty minutes.

Caren Krutsinger June 4, 2018 at 5:16 AM This describes reggae absolutely! Timothy Mcguire June 4, 2018 at 10:19 AM Thank you Caren!

Caren Krutsinger June 4, 2018 at 5:03 AM There is something surreal and abstract about it; it's a poem to read again, appreciate, and love.

Caren Krutsinger June 4, 2018 at 4:57 AM Yes, and isn't this just the truth of it?
