Another lame attempt
Constructing poetry
Remember I'm just a Toerag
Only rhyme occassionally
So I've tried Acrostic
To see how I might do
It sucks like most my others
Couldn't wait till I was through

Reminds me of one I wrote once...


Uncontrollable...that's me
so simple that I am complex
to those who can't understand simplicity.
Yet, I wear the sheerness
like an acrostic:

Sprinkling my life with new tastes
Having a touch of you with every meal
Engaging my smiles to wrap around what could be
Ever challenging that part of me
Romantically reserved
Needing the honesty, a gift of insurance allowing the
Emerging me, to live my dreams to
Stretch my measurings of a
Simple life into a recipe for two.


(just remembering ...)

I like this. i can relate.

reminds me of a poem i wrote a while back...

when I write a poem
nothing happens.
Earth does not shake,
walls do not come down,
people still breathe the same
air they would if never
pushed this ink around.
I just used an approximate rhyme
and now I'm breaking line structure for no reason at all because what does this matter?
I shoot blanks at targets,
and so do you.
