Anatomically incorrect

A self portrait (sort of)

Travelling through neural networks

Shelving through dusty books

Weaving tales on the internet

Lost in unusual looks.

 

Under waves of pretty girls

The poet and artist dwell

Preferring to wear Wisdom's pearls

Underneath this well worn shell.

 

Hiding in calcified humour

Washed down with true grit

Harsh words may cut arteries

Dilute them with dry wit.

 

Rage runs riot through these veins

Strong bones fix me in my frame

A picture of health glowing nowhere

Anatomically incorrect again.

I won't ask about the title, as it is what u think is right, and when a poet thinks something is okay, it is alright!

About the poem, it is distinctive, appealing, and superb!

I enjoyed reading it.

Thank you.

Raja.

Periodic self portraits are perfect for artists who feed off their passion. I want to know what makes the clock tick before it runs out oof minutes. I wish your poem was longer, its my kind of poem.
