I can't write anymore
without becomming a cliche
onto myself
Becomming too logical
inducing instaneous self edits
white out on the brain

Everything sounds the same
Arrest me now
for I flagrantly plagerize
myself
lifting lines from
old poems
pretending new inspiration

I can't write anymore
because I let CNN
into my home
my mind
turning my pen into poly
docu- drama

My love poems make the hallmark's
blackened teeth
cry out in pain
while my neo brilliant
abstract vomit
will make angst soaked teens
wince

My pen is impotant
so I am off in search of
textual viagra
some sort of poetic stimulation
to get my ink running
flowing again

So if you are the poor soul
made to read this
vile poetic blasmphemy
may god
have mercy
on your soul
burn it , reboot
cry and forget
then do the whole crying game
role play
so if you pretend you didn't read
it
I'll deny I wrote it.

Man I wish I had more time to read more of the poetry that is posted on all these boards...

Brad, this was one heck of a funny poem!

It was funny how you could write something so good, about not being able to find new things to write about...
Because, you just did...

And you did it well!


Thanks for the laughs


Nice work!
