Unfinished

Leading lines of literature, a chuggin', tuggin' boat
Chomping through the paper like a very hungry goat
Free, flowing, fiesty, figments; figity frenzy inside
Metaphors are opening doors trying to stay alive
Emotions eagerly overflowing, Niagra take good notes
Crafty, cunning, chilling, brr! readers bring your coats
This could be "the one", I say! masterpiece for sure!
But then

Bon Appetite!

HEY! I really like this one? I also wonder, if it is done now and the title gives it meaning, or if it is going to be finished?

To answer your question, the hidden Irony of the poem is that in fact it is finished. The poem is one that in fact is the state of some of my poems now. On my computer I have a folder of unfinished poems. I put them there untill I can make further progress and eventually finish them. I wrote this one out of frustration of my poems having good strong beginings but then I draw blanks as to the conclusions. I wrote "Unfinished" while trying to finish another poem. It was kinda like "Impromptu" I wrote it in five minutes.
