Write Me One of Those

Write me one of those you know those poemy things with rhymy lines like birds with wings like croaking frogs in deep bass sings string together windless words attack the castle using plastic swords tip-toe over life’s creaking boards sugar coat appease the needs of metered hoards leaning away but never towards the axe that cut the flaming cord to sooth forever’s embered fire its all consuming muse fueled pyre condemned to torch each vacant page with words of love encased in rage John G.
