Take Two and Call Me In the Morning

Poetic Terrorist- flagrant Errorist!
While all I write feels meritless
And all I do seems perilous!
Chalk it up to being careless...

My Heart, my Mind- about to burst!
Born, was I, a Soul accursed...
A million wounds I have nursed
Still I feel always the worse

Send helicopters full of doctors-
Tell me, what is their diagnosis?
Oh! the Tests conclude I'm awkward!
(What a bleak and poor prognosis!)

*Old experimental piece

My poet friend This may be experimental but it passes all the tests of a great write. And if being awkward is bleak, then I have the same diagnosis. LOL Hugs

If this experimental then I would have to stand for the serious ones...lol. Good job my dear Archaic. You seem to write like everyday, I envy that lol. My inspiration don't come as freely as yours do. I've penned two simple poems today, check them out when you get the chance. Your friend always......Mustapha.

A bomb blast in the midst of my reticent mind! Your experimental pieces have become detrimental to a languid mind! They push one to the limit of imagination.... I love your style my man. Keep up the beat! Friend. JM

Joseph, your kind, thoughtful and supportive words mean a great deal to me; I'm happy this piece made you feel that way. Many thanks, my friend! :)
