Throw Away Poem

a throw away poem
is easy come, easy go
after it's had its say 
pack it up toss it away

the meaning isn't deep
nor vocabulary wide 
a throw away poem
will never tax the mind

a throw away poem
is not meant to torment the soul
is easy on the eyes
feels almost like home

brings nothing to the table
except for rhyme and flow
that's as far as it will go
a throw away poem

Better a throw away poem that a throw away comment. Cheers, Mike. Nice light read. Regards, Craig

A great deal of truth in a not-to-be-thrown-away poem ... Liked the essence ...

Your lines made me smile:-) I never throw away a line Mike let alone a poem - would just keep it and amend it - if the line was worth writing it is worth keeping until the right time:-) hugs Jan xx
