Best Poetic Licence Poems
Poetic LicenceI’ve renewed my poetic licence
Just hope it won’t ever expire
Poetry has become a bit of an addiction

Which allows me to write as I find.

Ink flow and feel with love that lives;
Charm hurls to heal pulse that now gives.

(alliteratively he wrote)
it even puts my poor feet to sleep
and gives me painful coma toes
(literally did he quote)
And have you paid your syn tax
to persist in paltry poetry
(a non sequitur perhaps)
