The Trouble with Poems

Posted by Ewan on December 29, 2009 - 09:00
from the ABC set Poems For Cyril

The trouble with poems
- written by blokes -
is the fucked-up metre
for the sake of the jokes.
Whilst emotional ditties,
from a fairer hand,
are more "tru-luv" sappy
than a stomach can stand.
Ah, soured bird of youth,
why fly? Just wallow
in buckets of angst
that are hard to swallow.

To tell you the truth, I loved it. It shows your opinion, and that you aren't afraid of sharing it. Great job! Way to be true to yourself.

Could be the trouble with poems, let's not put the blame on human nature now matter how tempting it is.
