Some things are more important than poems!

Pantoum.

Some things hold more weight than verses, 

An infant crying to be fed, 

The dog that barks and strains our purses, 

Kettle boils, thoughts left unsaid.

An infant crying to be fed, 

The talk shows rant, elections scream, 

Kettle boils, thoughts left unsaid, 

Viral clips that haunt our dream.

The talk shows rant, elections scream, 

The flashy meal, now stomach churns, 

Viral clips that haunt our dream, 

And all in life, for poetry yearns.

The flashy meal, now stomach churns, 

The dog that barks and strains our purses, 

And all in life, for poetry yearns, 

Some things hold more weight than verses.
